Ka'ana Hotel

Belize

Deep in the exotic jungles of Central America lies a boutique resort with a name that translates as ‘heavenly place.’ It’s the perfect fit. Framed by tall, leafy greenery, this is a tropical paradise where nature and luxury are at one.

Well-suited to active travellers, hacienda-style suites feature locally sourced wood, Belizean art, and explorer-style maps that are sure to inspire adventure. Meanwhile, the one- or two-bed villas offer outdoor lounge areas and a refreshing plunge pool –
a wonderful spot to watch the sun slip below the jungle canopy.

While the restaurant creates a menu that’s driven by ingredients, a private picnic by a cascading waterfall offers an experience like no other. Also available are caving, kayaking and tubing excursions, as well as trips to nearby Mayan ruins. Travel by horseback to spot howler monkeys and rare orange-breasted falcons as you go. Finish up on the stargazing deck with a cocktail in hand.
