Blancaneaux Lodge - Your Gateway to Green Charm

The Green Champion of the Year

In the early 1980s, renowned filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola visited Belize and was immediately captivated by its allure. He purchased the abandoned Blancaneaux Lodge, a hidden gem in the heart of Belize. For over a decade, it remained a family retreat, but in 1993, Francis shared his tropical paradise with the world.

Today, Blancaneaux Lodge stands as a 20-room sanctuary of luxury, where nature’s waterfalls gently cascade into inviting turquoise pools amidst the lush jungle canopy. Tucked away within the pristine Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve, it seamlessly blends elements of Guatemalan dĂ©cor with an unwavering commitment to sustainability. This unique combination of natural beauty and environmental stewardship makes it a top choice for travelers who prioritize eco-conscious adventures.

This eco-haven not only boasts stunning natural beauty but also a plethora of activities to engage with nature and history. From the Waterfall Spa to guided mountain biking, you’ll find an array of experiences that allow you to immerse yourself in Belize’s breathtaking environment.

Guest testimonials and experiences speak volumes about why Blancaneaux Lodge has earned the Green Champion award. Their stories highlight the genuine connection between this eco-friendly oasis and its guests.

Blancaneaux Lodge is a shining example of Belize’s dedication to green tourism. It is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a harmonious blend of luxury and eco-consciousness.

Simply WONDERFUL! Relaxing to the next level. We enjoyed a creek cottage. It was private and comfy. Birding, river tubing were fun and educational and the Organic Garden Tour and dinner was an absolute delight. The resort is eco friendly and they maintain it to perfection, the hard work, experience and knowledge of their staff shows in every detail.

The absolute perfect combination of rustic beauty and chic comfort. The only thing more amazing than the rooms were the people. They make your trip so special, they even had a giant several course BBQ brought to our lodge on the last night. The place is just amazing. Couldn’t recommend enough. It’s world famous for a good reason. If you are looking for a secluded place to the cayo this is the spot. Amazing.

Amazing hospitality with the friendliest staff. We enjoyed our stay at Naia while in Placencia. Food and cocktails are top notch. Their spa is a lovely oasis for pampering yourself with treatments and relaxing by the soaking pool. We loved our time in Belize.

What a wonderful place to stay. Everyone is super friendly. The food is delicious and reasonable, they offer bikes to ride around the property, paddle boards and kayaks along with snorkeling gear, and all around amazing. The staff even went out of their way to make a birthday special. We will definitely return and highly recommend.

Naia was more perfect than we could imagine. It was absolutely breathtaking. The staff was some of the most helpful we have experienced. There is only one suggestion. The massage rooms need music.

Stephanie Combs

Loved my stay here as always. My favorite place to visit when in Placencia. Beautiful beach, easy shuttle to Maya beach or the village.

David Leong

We stopped in to see the spa options and restaurant. Staff members in every location were friendly, kind and helpful. More importantly they were happy. This tells me that the environment is key to what they are selling and offering. Looking forward to experiencing spa treatments soon.
