Copal Tree Lodge

We’d stay at Copal Tree just to experience its rum distillery (its rum took home a gold medal at last year’s Caribbean Rum Awards), but that’s just the beginning of the “to do” list at this lodge in the Mayan Mountains of Punta Gorda in southern Belize. Sixteen private suites, a three-bedroom villa, and a restaurant whose menu includes ingredients foraged from the local forests can be included in an all-inclusive package; experiences and explorations run from spa treatments and culinary classes to fishing, Caribbean reef snorkeling, and sunset cruises on the Rio Grande.
