2 BLANCANEAUX LODGE Belize

Concealed within Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, this lodge houses just 20 rooms within an astonishing 196 hectares of protected forest. Guests may arrive by charter flight or helicopter to the lodge’s private airstrip, or ground transfers can be arranged. Thatch-roofed cabanas, natural pools and a waterfall spa (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like) are ingeniously inscribed into the landscape, inviting guests to the jaw-dropping simplicity of the paradise of our collective imagination. The lodge provides a unique opportunity to explore the ancient civilisation of the Maya, whose hieroglyphic script is the only known fully developed writing system of the preColumbian Americas. thefamilycoppolahideaways.com
