Roses are red, violets are blue,
Down in Belize, love comes with a view.
From jungle to reef, dreams set alight,
And suite getaways are pure delight!
Flowers, chocolates, dinner at a nice restaurant…those all sound like a familiar theme for the month of love. And we certainly won’t turn down a bouquet, or dinner, or some delicious bon bons. But how about escaping the ordinary and indulging in a truly romantic rendezvous in the heart of paradise? The Belize Collection invites you to embrace the magic of a ‘suite’ getaway at any of its enchanting resorts. Plan the ultimate romantic escape by taking advantage of their stunning locations and special amenities to add another chapter to your incredible love story.
Whether you’re yearning for the serenity of The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant, the beach chic vibes at The Lodge at Jaguar Reef, the dual luxury of beach and lagoon at Umaya Resort, or the barefoot tropical bliss of Almond Beach Resort, The Belize Collection has the perfect setting for your romantic interlude. Specially curated dinner menus, even heart-shaped pizzas at all Don Tonito’s locations, will make your stay in Belize absolutely special.
Nestled between the swaying palms and the gentle waves of the sweetest southern village of Hopkins, The Lodge at Jaguar Reef is a haven for romantic escapades. Wake up to the sunshine in your beachfront suite, sip coffee in bed or out on the beach as you plan a day of activities or relaxation. Take a special Garifuna cooking class with your partner, or simply unwind in a beach hammock or at Big Dock Bar. Swim from the sandy shores or tandem kayak your hearts out, making sure to build up an appetite that will be satiated with delicious meals crafted by the talented chefs at the Paddle House Restaurant.
For Valentine’s Day, indulge in their specially curated menu featuring a vibrant arugula and watermelon paneer salad, followed by an extra thick pork chop with roasted heart of cauliflower puree, potato pave and gremolata sauce. The pièce de résistance, a scrumptious toasted coconut cake and caramel champagne sauce, rounds off a truly romantic dinner. Nearby, Almond Beach Resort provides a delightful oceanfront getaway, with the rhythmic waves lulling you to slumber under starry nights. Take a romantic beach stroll, indulge in a candlelit dinner, and bask in the glow of each other’s company. Create timeless memories at Almond Beach Resort.
The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant spreads across hundreds of lush acreages, with numerous romantic nooks tucked at every corner. Specially designed suites promise seclusion and enchantment and an unplugged getaway to truly connect with your beloved. The beautiful landscaping provides specially built spaces to get away, including the Nest treehouse and hammock bridge overlooking a babbling brook. Enjoy a sweet picnic under the shade of majestic trees or take a vigorous hike uphill to take in the breathtaking vistas unique to this resort. For that extra special adventure, book a Horse & Buggy ride for two, and see the resort grounds from a different angle!
The resort’s Grove House restaurant also plans to cast a spell on your taste buds this Valentine’s Day. Start with an indulgent goat cheese and baby spinach ravioli, fried and served over a creamy coconut foam sauce. This is followed by Chef’s take on surf and turf: Mar e’ Tierra, with a medley of beef tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto and accompanied by garlic butter confit prawn. Dessert features an intensely local Mamey ice cream with a rich Maya Chocolate Ganache, to highlight the beautiful cultures of this incredible country.
At Umaya in Placencia, you have a choice of beachfront or lagoon views of the beautiful peninsula. With a backdrop of majestic mountains, Umaya is the ultimate tropical escape. Walk from your perch along the beachside and straight into the warm Caribbean Sea. Swim, paddle, or kayak to your heart’s content, or take a refreshing dip in the pool, sipping tropical cocktails and whiling away the hours under the sun. Book the romantic sunset cruise for couples at Umaya, and toast to another incredible sunset with your beloved.
Restaurante Laguna provides the ideal backdrop for romantic dinners, and their Valentine’s Day special is set to be exceptional. A tasty avocado tartare salad makes way for the most divine-sounding sorrel and peach pork riblets, capped off with a pitaya mimosa pudding. Let the magic of the Placencia Peninsula and Umaya captivate you.
