Jade Jungle Resort

Find room to hear yourself think

Belize Teakettle paid

An ancient Maya plaza gives Jade Jungle Resort an unusual sense of place: ten thatch-roof cabanas and a main lodge are arranged around it, within 300 acres of Belizean woodland. Between retreat activities and stretches outdoors, guests can follow miles of trails, cross swinging bridges, cool off in three swimming holes, or wander into a five-acre meadow with a 30-foot swing and a secret garden. Hammocks above the lodge’s intimate dining area invite slower pauses, while meals aim to bring robust flavor together with health-conscious cooking. Vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, Ayurvedic, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free options are among the choices, alongside meals with meat. The resort’s purpose is to give people room to step back from daily demands and think about what comes next. Retreat schedules vary by program, so ask the host what a particular stay includes. Retreat bookings include airport transfers.
