BLANCANEAUX LODGE

A rainforest retreat created by Francis Ford Coppola

Hidden within the lush landscapes of the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve, Blancaneaux Lodge feels like a world apart.

Surrounded by tropical forests, rivers and waterfalls, the property combines rustic elegance with the intimacy of a private hideaway. Stone cottages, flowing streams and beautifully landscaped gardens create an atmosphere that feels both romantic and deeply connected to nature.

Days are spent exploring caves, swimming beneath waterfalls and discovering the remarkable biodiversity of Belize’s interior before returning to one of the country’s most iconic luxury lodges.
