Belize Jungle Lodges
And Hotels

Blancaneaux Lodge is owned by movie director and producer, Francis Ford Coppola, who is also responsible for the creation of this stunningly beautiful jungle lodge on the banks the Privassion River.  (Coppola also owns Turtle Inn in Placencia on the southern coast of Belize, and La Lancha, on the banks of Lake Peten Itza near the Tikal Mayan ruins.)

Organic produce grown on the grounds provides many of the staples for the excellent on-premises restaurant, and Coppola has just added the Waterfall Spa and Hot Pool, featuring Thai massages by Prasert, a Thai massuse professionally trained at the Sacred Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok. 
 

In addition to first-class lodging and dining, Blancaneaux is an excellent location from which to visit the many waterfalls and caves of the Mountain Pine Ridge area of Belize, including the Rio On Pools and Falls, Hidden Valley Falls (also known as the 1,000 Foot Falls), and the mystical Barton Creek Cave.  Caracol, one of the largest Mayan ruins sites in Central America, and still under excavation, is also an easy day-trip from Blancaneaux.  A full range of other jungle activities is also available such as jungle horseback riding, jungle river canoeing and birding.

Blancaneaux Cottage and Villa

Hidden Valley Inn is also located in the Mountain Pine Ridge area of Belize (not far from Blancaneaux Lodge described above). 

With only 12 cottages on its 7200 acre private nature reserve, Hidden Valley is favorite of honeymooners and others seeking privacy and intimacy.  (Two of Hidden Valley's 8 named waterfalls can be reserved for a full day of sensual jungle privacy.)
 

Hidden Valley also offers 90 miles of hiking and biking trails, and a full roster of guided tours, including Mayan ruins (Caracol, Xunantunich, Cahal Pech, Tikal), caving, jungle river canoeing and jungle horseback riding.
