Hidden Valley Inn

Covering an impressive 7,200 acres of diverse wildlife, the Hidden Valley Inn is situated in the Cayo District of western Belize, right on the edge of the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve.

The resort’s luxurious suites are divided into six beautifully-appointed individual cottages set amongst picturesque gardens full of orchids and lilies, and feature log fires, waterfall showers, terracotta tile flooring and mahogany wood furnishings.

Dine on authentic Mayan and Mesito flavours in the candlelit dining room, where the chef serves up a sensational fusion of locally-sourced ingredients; be sure to try the home-made breads and sweets and don’t miss the hotel’s High Tea to sample the region’s coffee. The main Lodge offers ample space for guests to relax, with several fireplaces, a library and an attractive stone terrace overlooking the enticing pool.

Guests can explore the spectacular scenery surrounding the resort; hike countless trails which wind beneath a canopy of colourful birds, and bathe in crystal clear pools beneath magnificent cascading waterfalls. At the end of an adventurous day exploring Mayan ruins and the wilderness, head to the Nikte’ Ha Spa for a rejuvenating massage or sip aperitifs at the poolside cocktail lounge.
