Offering an authentic jungle experience in the beating heart of Belize\u2019s rainforest, Chaa Creek is a stunning lodge devoted to sustainability and green tourism but doesn\u2019t scrimp on luxury as a result. Set in a 365 acre private nature reserve, the 30 individually-styled cottages, suites and villas combine the best of the natural world with contemporary amenities to ensure you stay in ultimate comfort. It\u2019s the perfect place from which to explore the untouched wonders of Belize\u2019s luscious rainforest in the shadow of the history-steeped Maya Mountains.<\/p>\n<h2>Location<\/h2>\n<p>Set along the banks of the Macal River in the foothills of the Maya Mountains, Chaa Creek is a short drive from San Ignacio Town and just two hours from Belize International Airport. \u00a0Thanks to its location, the lodge throbs with indigenous culture with archaeological sites and temples just a stone\u2019s throw away, while the constant birdsong and the cry of monkeys is a reminder that you\u2019re at the epicenter of the natural world.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Room<\/h2>\n<p>The individual thatched cottages are beautifully designed to be in-keeping with the tropical surroundings while providing you with the perfect place in which to relax after a day exploring Belize\u2019s dramatic landscape. Meanwhile, the Ix Chel villas are stunning feats of design nestled away in the rainforest, the treetop jacuzzi suite perches atop the Macal river with panoramic views perfect for spotting parrots and toucans, and the spa villa makes for the ultimate relaxing retreat. The beautiful garden suites buzz with hummingbirds, but if you want to really be in the thick of it, spend a couple of nights among wildlife in a Camp Casita in the depths of the rainforest. The options truly are endless.<\/p>\n<h2>Why We Like It<\/h2>\n<p>Chaa Creek is so special because it combines boutique luxury with an authentic jungle experience on the very soil of the Maya civilisation. This is the place to really go for it and explore; whether it\u2019s a cave tour, ziplining through the trees, marvelling at Maya ruins from a helicopter or trekking through the jungle, you\u2019ll come away feeling both refreshed and revitalised, having made your own journey through this hidden gem of Central America. As well as every activity imaginable on offer, Chaa Creek also provides ample space in which to relax, including a hilltop spa, a lofty jungle bar and one of the country\u2019s best restaurants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Described as \u2018wildly civilized\u2019, Chaa Creek is a must for any budding eco-warrior with a sense of adventure but a discerning taste for the better things in life.
