Best Resorts in Belize
When they began farming on the banks of the
Macal River in western Belize, Mick and Lucy Fleming always strove to coexist with nature, and as
Chaa Creek Lodge grew, so did their appreciation and respect for Belize’s diverse ecology and
rich culture. It was only natural that when the Flemings began taking in guests to create one of Belize’s first
eco-resorts in 1981, they combined their love of
nature with a desire to give visitors an authentic jungle experience that offers a unique blend of natural beauty and built comforts.
Responsible Travel
Their commitment to
responsible travel has resonated with guests from around the world, and they are proud that
Chaa Creek continues to win recognition as a model of
sustainable,
Green tourism. Their 400-acre private nature reserve is one of the most awarded
Belize Eco Lodges, and in 2017 took first place honours in its category at National Geographic’s World Legacy Awards presented in Berlin.
Location
Set along the banks of the Macal River and stretching towards the foothills of the
Maya Mountains, Chaa Creek continues to provide unique
adventure travel experiences for thousands of visitors looking for an in-depth yet civilized
Belizean vacation, with a focus on Belize’s ecology, natural history and vibrant multicultural society.
Sustainable Practices
Sensitive construction, creative recycling and other
green practices have always been part and parcel to their development, and whilethey are honoured to have been so widely recognized for doing what, to them, comes naturally, they take even greater pride in the overwhelmingly positive comments they receive from
visitors.
Their guests say they appreciate Chaa Creek’s eco-friendly blend of
pristine nature and a casually
luxurious built environment, and enjoy the flexibility and choice they offer in accommodations, amenities, meals,
tours and expeditions.

rainforest experience, take time out to enjoy the benefits of professional

Weddings
Imagine your
wedding ceremony held amidst exotic flowers and birdcalls in the tropical rainforest of
Belize, or next to an ancient
Maya temple rising out of lush jungle as you stand on worn stones trod centuries ago by high priests and royalty. Or perhaps you prefer having huge, iridescent blue butterflies released into the forest as you
exchange vows and savour that very special kiss. Of course the next day you’ll indulge in a relaxing couples’ massage in an exquisite hilltop spa with
stunning views and the misty Maya Mountains for a backdrop.
The Lodge at Chaa Creek is now offering three superbly crafted
wedding packages that create once in a lifetime experiences, leaving memories that will be cherished forever. Their dedicated
wedding coordinator and her staff will work with you to ensure that your special day will be a joyous celebration of love and truly exceptional. They will arrange a religious or civil ceremony, handle legalities, arrange the flowers, cake,
photographer, music – everything that’s needed so that you can concentrate on the real reason for being here – each other.
