Blancaneaux Lodge is movie director Francis Ford Coppola's romantic Mountain Pine Ridge retreat in western Belize home to 20 villas and cabanas surrounded by Mayan ruins, shimmering waterfalls, turquoise pools, lush vegetation and exotic wildlife.
Highlights
For those Italian food lovers, enjoy the Coppolas family recipes with many ingredients sourced from the lodge’s organic garden!
The Lodge’s 20 or so villas and cabanas are scattered alongside the meandering Privasson River, being the perfect spot to cool off in.
There is something for everyone. You can explore the jungle on horseback, read a book suspended in the hammock, gaze at the colourful hummingbird fluttering amongst the bright flora around or potter to the ancient ruins.
When to visit
If the ceiling fan in the bar looks familiar, then that is because it is the fan used in the iconic opening scene of Acopalypse Now, Coppola's most famous film.
