The Dreamiest Rainforest Resorts in the Caribbean, From Dominica to Belize

Blancaneaux Lodge, Belize There’s no shortage of rainforest to roam at Blancaneaux Lodge, the secluded Belize retreat owned by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Tucked deep within the 107,000-acre Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, the resort places you right at the edge of untamed jungle, where waterfalls tumble through steep ravines and tropical birds flash between the trees. Its thatch-roofed cabanas, villas, and creekside cottages are spread out along the banks of the Privassion Creek, offering a serene base for adventures into nearby Noj Kaax Meen Elijio Panti National Park, the vast Chiquibul National Park, and the ancient ruins of Caracol.
