Blancaneaux Lodge is a 20-room luxury hideaway where waterfalls tumble into turquoise pools above the jungle canopy. Its remote mountain setting allows guests to explore the ancient civilization of the Maya and to return to their own thatched roof dwelling, rich with Guatemalan décor and nestled in the foliage of the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve.
This 25-room seafront escape delights guests with thatched dwelling, decorated with handcrafted Balinese furnishings, cooled by fresh sea breezes. Steps beyond your private deck, the white-sand beach dissolves into the clear Caribbean Sea. Turtle Inn is located a short bicycle ride or walk from the charming fishing village of Placencia, where local artisan shops and dining spots can be enjoyed.
Set in the rainforest high above the shores of Lago Petén Itzá is La Lancha, a quaint, 10-room lodge decorated with furniture, fabrics, and carvings from Guatemala personally selected by the Coppola family. Nearby is Tikal, the epicenter of Maya spirituality: the ruins include more than 3,000 structures where moss clings to the steps of ancient temples and plazas.
