San Ignacio, Belize. Close to the Guatemala border.

Rooms are comprised of luxurious private pool villas, hacienda style suites or Spanish influenced casita suites. Light and modern, they each offer private verandas backing onto tropical garden, and are furnished with trendy wooden interior and plush furniture.

Using fresh produce from the organic garden, La Ceiba restaurant, housed inside a charming whitewashed villa, offers authentic Belizean cuisine. Alternatively, the Frieze Lounge serves up lighter options, perfectly blended cocktails, and classic wines from the on-site wine cellar. It opens out onto a fireside courtyard, perfect for sipping your drinks alfresco; alternatively, head up to the stargazing terrace for a charmingly romantic setting.

If you’re not relaxing by the pool, lounging in a hammock or getting pampered in the spa, the area surrounding the hotel has plenty to offer the cultural inquisitor. Take a day trip to the Xunantunich archaeological site, located just a 20 minute drive away, or visit the fascinating Crystal Cave. If you’re a thrill seeker, don’t miss the cave-tubing and zip-lining on offer at the nearby Jaguar Paw.
