Blancaneaux Lodge

Accommodation · Cayo District, Belize

Film director Francis Ford Coppola turned his private hideaway in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve into this 20-room luxury lodge, where thatched cabanas overlook the waterfalls and turquoise pools of Privassion Creek. Guests ride horses through pine forest, cool off in natural swimming holes, and day-trip to Big Rock Falls and the Caracol ruins. Its remote highland setting feels quite different from coastal Belize.
