Blancaneaux Lodge sits beside Privassion Creek in Belize’s Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, surrounded by pine woodland, granite pools and waterfalls. Its 20 thatched cabañas, villas and cottages use local hardwood, woven textiles and broad verandas; riverfront rooms face the creek, while larger categories add kitchens or private plunge pools. The restaurants combine Belizean produce with Coppola family recipes and Italian cooking, supported by an organic garden and wood-fired oven. Waterfall Spa occupies a riverside position, and guests can swim in natural pools, ride through the reserve or join guided visits to Caracol and the Cayo District’s caves.
