Francis Ford Coppola’s Blancaneaux Lodge and Coral Caye Island in Belize offer unparalleled luxury and privacy. Guests can experience both a private island in the Belize Cayes + a private new Enchanted Cottage in the pine ridge of the Maya Mountains.

Blancaneaux Lodge was used as a family retreat for more than a decade before Coppola opened his tropical paradise to the public in 1993. Tucked away in a pocket of the Maya Mountains, the 20-room luxury resort hotel’s remote mountain setting makes it the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

For those looking for the ultimate in luxury, guests can retreat to the resort’s Enchanted Cottage which sits atop a steep forested bluff offering panoramic views.  The cottage includes a full-time attendant to light fires, cook breakfast, prepare cocktails and anticipate your every need.

Eight miles off the coast of Placencia, guests can experience their very own two-acre private island at Coral Caye, a once-in-a lifetime experience for couples or families to be “castaways” on their very own island.  The island’s caretakers, Alberto and his wife Pauline, are on-hand to provide guests with all meals including continental Belizean breakfasts, delicious lunches and fresh seasonal seafood dinners.

Here guests can enjoy everything from snorkeling, diving and fishing to spa treatments and beach lounging. With two cottages, Coral Caye can accommodate as few as two guests and as many as twelve.  Furthering The Family Coppola Resort’s commitment to sustainability, Coral Caye relies heavily on solar power and caught rainwater and participates in coral and mangrove restoration programs.
