Valentine’s Day Escape to Kanantik Reef & Jungle Resort in Belize
There has never been a better time for lovebirds to head south for the winter, and February is the perfect month for a romantic Valentine’s Day escape to Belize.
Kanantik Reef & Jungle Resort, an eco-sensitive resort with just 25 custom-built cabanas scattered along a secluded natural beach, offers an idyllic setting for a romantic and secluded escape. Surrounded by 300 acres of jungle on the southern coast of Belize, the resort’s unique location offers an exotic combination of the wild and the wonderful.
Whether winding down the day on the secluded deck of the charming cabanas or seeking out adventure in the natural surroundings, there is never a dull moment at Kanantik. Adventurous couples will enjoy excursions to the nearby jaguar preserve, snorkeling on the reef, visiting Maya ruins, hiking to scenic waterfalls and canoeing serpentine creeks, where it’s possible to spot manatees and other wildlife. After an active day, couples can return to the resort for a refreshing swim in the pool or to relax on the beach as the waves lap the shore.
Dining by the sea in the open-air atmosphere of the bar and dining room will set the romantic mood for any couple. The talented culinary team creates a medley of local flavors, producing a Creole-Mediterranean cuisine blended together with the vibrant tastes of Italy, thanks to the resort’s owner who has added his own cultural flair by installing an authentic Italian firewood pizza oven and espresso machine. After dinner, couples can continue their romantic evening with a stroll along the beach under a starlit sky or retreat back to their cabana where river stone-lined showers await and romantic four-poster beds welcome the end of a perfect day.
Ideal for a Valentine’s Day vacation escape, Kanantik offers its Romantic Honeymoon Getaway, even for those who haven’t just tied the knot. The six-night package includes roundtrip air transfer with Tropic Air from Belize City to Kanantik’s private airstrip, a chilled bottle of champagne upon arrival, a la carte breakfast, full lunch and three-course dinner daily, three tours, flowers in room, room service (meals and drinks) and a secluded candlelight dinner on the beach. This special is available for the entire month of February and is priced at $4,185 per couple, including all government taxes and service charges.
Kanantik Reef & Jungle Resort is located 18 miles south of Dangriga, the cultural center of the indigenous Garifuna people and 125 miles from Belize City. Kanantik offers 25 secluded oceanfront cabanas, each designed with an ancient Mayan feel. Guests aged 14 and older are welcomed at the resort. There are two daily rate options – “Cabana Only” or “Deluxe Mayan Dream” all-inclusive rate.
