Day by Day

Placencia, Belize

Rainforest retreat

Belmopan

Day 1: Arrival in Belize
Arrive in Belize and travel inland to the foothills of the Maya Mountains. Your riverside hideaway sits tucked beneath mist-shrouded peaks, where orchids bloom and toucans call from the trees. Settle into your forest cottage and let the stillness of the jungle mark the beginning of your escape.

Day 2: Jungle trails and waterfall pools
Hike through lush forest to Tiger Creek Falls, where cool water tumbles into deep, swimmable pools. Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by birdsong and wild beauty, then return to the lodge for a quiet afternoon by the river with a drink in hand and nowhere to be.

Day 3: Maya ruins and riverside dining
Travel west to Xunantunich, an ancient Maya site perched above the jungle canopy. Cross the Mopan River by hand-cranked ferry and climb the towering El Castillo for sweeping views across Belize and Guatemala. Return to your lodge for a private dinner by the river, surrounded by lantern light and the sounds of the forest.

Hopkins

Day 4: From jungle to Caribbean coast
Leave the rainforest behind on a scenic drive to the coastal village of Hopkins. This laid-back town, where golden sands meet gentle surf, welcomes you with warm breezes and slow rhythms. Spend the afternoon unwinding along the beach, barefoot and unhurried.

Day 5: Snorkeling the reef
Set out by boat to explore the Belize Barrier Reef. Snorkel through coral gardens, where rays, parrotfish, and sea fans drift in the current. Return salt-kissed and smiling, with the afternoon free for lounging in the sun or cooling off in the pool.

Day 6: A day made for drifting
Wake with no agenda. Paddle a kayak along the shore, sip fresh juice on your veranda, or book a couple’s massage steps from the sea. This is island time at its finest—slow, sunny, and full of ease.

Day 7: Stargazing and seaside dining
As night falls, join an expert guide for a private stargazing session. Gaze through a telescope as constellations light the Caribbean sky, then enjoy a romantic dinner under the stars, waves whispering just beyond the candlelight.

Day 8: Departure
Savor your final breakfast with toes in the sand and a view of the sea. Your private transfer returns you to Belize City, carrying with you the stillness of the rainforest, the salt of the reef, and the memory of time well spent.
