From exploring the depths of the rainforest to relaxing on a Caribbean beach on your private island, this back-to-nature journey through Belize will rejuvenate your body and restore your spirit.

Travel deep into the rainforest surrounding Punta Gorda in customized open-air vehicles where you’ll encounter ancient Mayan ruins, remote villages and untamed jungle rivers. Then switch gears and test out your sea legs as your boat transfer whisks you from San Pedro to a private island in the idyllic Caribbean. Here you’ll enjoy all the trimmings of a luxury beach resort including indulgent spa treatments, beachside massages and world-class dining experiences. If you’re feeling more active, take part in a wide range of water sports or strap on a snorkel and explore the world’s second-largest barrier reef.

This premium trip redefines luxury. Wake to panoramic Caribbean vistas from your secluded villa nestled deep within dense mountain rainforest, and take a sunset walk along pristine white sands that lead directly to your beachside resort. Your knowledgeable English-speaking guides will ensure you get the most out of your rainforest and reef encounters, and a team of chefs, beauty therapists, private drivers and concierges will help create a peerless travel experience.

Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
