Eco-luxury retreat in the Maya Mountains of Belize

We discovered this beautiful hotel while scouring the internet for unique travel destinations. Not only is this eco-luxury hotel incredible, but the activities surrounding it makes the resort even more enticing! Ka’ana Boutique Luxury Resort is a 17 room property in the Maya Mountains of Western Belize. Since its opening in 2007, Ka’ana is now widely regarded locally and internationally as the premier resort in Western Belize; offering a level of personalized service and amenities never before realized in this region. With nearby cultural, historical and eco-adventure attractions, guests can utilize Ka’ana as an ultra-luxurious and exclusive out-post.

Ka’ana is truly Belizean inspired in its décor and there are tributes to local craftsmen in all areas of the resort. Local artist, Jorge Landero, was commissioned to convey the spirit of the Maya in the wall art. The Art in your room will be changed on the 4th night of your stay in an attempt to expose you to even more of these local masterpieces. Elmer Panti hand crafted all the slate work, including the restaurant coasters, which are yet another example of how skilled the local craftsmen truly are.

Modern, clean design is incorporated into rooms housed in hacienda-style buildings and casitas at Ka’ana Boutique Resort and Spa. All have a private outdoor terrace or balcony overlooking the pool or tropical gardens, high ceilings and local works of art on the walls. Your French doors and windows allow the indoors to embrace the outdoors in a seamless way. The bathroom vanity is done in a beautiful Central American hardwood called “Poison Heart” and is the masterpiece of a spacious, naturally lit space. You will enjoy the jungles and archaelogical intrigue of the Cayo area by day and be immersed in the comfort you have become accustomed to and deserve by night.

To stay at this incredible private retreat, rates range from $250-$350 per night from here.
