Our Story
Belizean owned and operated
Nestled in a lush tropical of western Belize, Monkey Fall Lodge began as one man’s dream to the land. Pablo, a Yucatecan Mayan Mestizo and a “farmer of the heart,” set out to build cottages that honored the forest and its wildlife. For every tree that was cleared, he planted mahogany hardwoods, coffee plants, fruit trees, and vibrant flowering garden.
Today the lodge is a living legacy of a dream: Rustic cottages under the trees, a sustainable homegrown fruits and vegetables and a rhythm that honors local traditions and biodiversity. Here true luxury is waking to birdsong, breathing fresh jungle air, and finding calm beneath the trees.
Come and experience an authentic Belizean hospitality, eat organic from our farm, and enjoy the quiet luxury of nature.
