Accommodations for Active Vacations

Maya Mountain Lodge

Conveniently located but surrounded by jungle, Maya Mountain is nestled beneath the rainforest canopy. Situated on a large parcel of private land close to San Ignacio, this friendly, family-run jungle lodge boasts an excellent staff and their meals are superb. For guests who choose to arrive several days early, this is a fantastic place to stay because it is within walking distance of downtown San Ignacio, Belize.

 

 

 

 

At Maya Mountain we stay in "The Parrot Perch", a private family-style house with private rooms and baths, and a huge porch where we enjoy cold drinks after a long day on the river or in the caves. They also have an outdoor dining pavilion, a pool, internet access for guests, and beautifully tended gardens. The setting immerses you in the daily rhythms of the surrounding jungle, and the birding is excellent right on the grounds. Basing out of Maya Mountain for the inland part of Adventure Week allows our groups a perfect blend of accessibility and comfort.

 

 

 

 

 

Long Caye at Glover's Reef

When we first moved to Glover's Reef in 1992 our goal was to create a facility that feels non-developed. Obviously if you build a building, that’s some level of development. But throughout the Caribbean there are very few facilities that are rustic by design. On Long Caye, development means sixteen cabanas, a well-stocked kitchen, solar-powered water pumps, a composting toilet, three dozen sea kayaks, a bunch of sailboards, surf boards, and surf kayaks, and a dive shop (the only thing not owned by Slickrock). There are no air conditioners, maid service, email, or flush toilets. But there is a fridge permanently loaded with Fantas and Belikin beer. It’s the best in adventure travel — right down to the excellent Garifuna chefs who cook your meal and then sit down with you to dine.

 

Depending on your experience, our Water Sports Center is either the cushiest camp or the most rustic resort you have seen. We keep the island in as natural a state as possible, and there is no standard electricity or plumbing. Two-person cabanas are perched above the surf, and the ever-present breeze keeps the temperatures well below what they are on the mainland. Each cabana has single or double beds, a solar-powered light, and a porch with hammocks and lounge chairs (see the island accommodations page for more photos).

 

Our dining hall features solar and wind-powered lights and music, propane stove and refrigerator (for cold beer and soda!), and our extensive library. We drink collected rainwater, and we bathe with well water pumped by the sun (not heated, the showers are about 75 degrees). Composting toilets complete this ecologically friendly set-up. Our spacious island (13.5 acres) and rustic facilities ensure your comfort without compromising the adventure of living on an undeveloped and uncrowded island. Best of all, a hammock with your name on it is waiting under the palms. For more details on these and other island amenities visit our web page.
