Home to a rich cultural history, striking landscapes and some of Central America’s most pristine seas, Belize has earned its place on our map as a top romantic locale. Escape into paradise with eight days of adventure, romance & beachy bliss while you explore the best Belize has to offer, from ancient ruins and ceremonial caves to thick jungles and palm-studded Caribbean beaches.
Welcome to Belize! Meet your private driver and head west along limestone roads to the heart of the Maya jungle in inland Belize. Check into your deliciously luxurious riverfront cabana and spend the afternoon lounging on the patio, with pine-scented air and a pristine river view. Tonight, dine on wood-fired pizza and fine wine.
Glide through the shadowy, sacred corridors of Barton Creek Cave on a canoe tour. Paddle beneath soaring stalactites, past ancient Maya pottery and burial sites on an atmospheric adventure into Belize’s ancient past. Wind down back at the lodge.
Today, ride along jungle trails on horseback to one of the most spectacular waterfalls in all of Belize: the rushing Big Rock Falls. As you ride, admire the abundant orchids adorning granite rock outcroppings and watch for exotic animals hidden in the forest canopy. When you arrive to the falls, enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch, then dive into the creek for a refreshing chance to beat the jungle heat.
After breakfast, drive to Xunantunich, crossing the Mopan River on a hand-operated ferry to reach this ancient Maya ceremonial center. Discover temples and plazas on foot, climb to the top of El Castillo for breathtaking 360-degree views, and learn the history of this remarkable place. Then fly to Ambergris Caye and check into your beachfront retreat. Spend the afternoon with your toes in the sand and the Caribbean stretching out before you.
Take to the skies for awe-inspiring views of the Great Blue Hole, a deep-blue circle framed by coral reef and crystalline turquoise seas. Watch the colors shift beneath you as you fly above Belize’s offshore atolls, then return to your beachfront retreat for an afternoon of sun, sand and sea.
Start your day bright and early aboard your private boat to Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. Snorkel through crystalline turquoise waters and explore the undersea landscape, home to a diverse array of creatures, including turtles, morays, stingrays, nurse sharks, and a wide variety of brightly colored tropical fish. Return to your beachfront retreat for a relaxing evening by the sea.
Take one last day to settle deeply into a laid-back island vibe. Today is yours to spend how you wish: wander white sand beaches, kayak along the shore, or take one last swim in the calm Caribbean Sea. This afternoon, set sail along the coast with cocktails and canapés as you revel in one last sweet Caribbean sunset. Dinner tonight will be unforgettable: dine on the dock with a torch-lit, multi-course tasting menu and toast to a perfect Belizean holiday while you start making plans to return.
Spend your final morning lounging by the pool or strolling Ambergris Caye’s white sands. Bid farewell to turquoise waters and powdery sands, with a short flight to Belize City, where you will depart on your international flight home.
