Machaca Hill Lodge

 

Privacy, Luxury, Adventure.

 

 

The property has been conceived with your ultimate comfort in mind, and the Management and Staff are adept at providing thoughtful, unobtrusive service with genuine warmth and sincerity.  Perched in the verdant hills above the Caribbean coast of southern Belize, the lodge is a self-contained sanctuary from the everyday world. The Main Lodge is the communal heart of the resort, offering dining and lounging areas, concierge and lobby lounge area, a finely edited gift shop, and observation decks giving onto grand vistas of the coast, Maya Mountains and an endless view of the untouched and pristine rainforest.

 

A pleasant garden path leads from the Main Lodge to our beautifully appointed spa, fronted by the stunning pool and sundeck. Beyond is a rolling sweep of lawn where High Tea is served—adjacent to the Ceremonial Fire Pit, the site for evening relaxation and socializing. The 400’ private tram whisks you down to our riverside deck, where you’ll enjoy our waterfront dining area and riverside Maya bar, or embark on tranquil cruises on the jungle reaches of the Rio Grande with the Caribbean Ocean only minutes away.
