Blancaneaux Lodge
Nature
Sustainable
Family Friendly
Blancaneaux Lodge is located in the northwest corner of the 107,000-acre Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, ringed with oaks, tropical pines, palmetto, craboo, and ancient melastome shrubs. Famed director Francis Ford Coppola first visited Belize in the early 1980s. He purchased Blancaneaux Lodge for use as a family hideaway. As more and more friends visited, he realized the retreat’s universal appeal. Today, 20 guestrooms are set among the flowers and palms of Blancaneaux’s creekside gardens.
