Why choose between the sun-kissed beaches of southern Belize and the untamed beauty of the jungle when you can have both? Our Jungle and Beach Package, a unique collaboration between Chan Chich Lodge and The Ellysian Boutique Hotel, gives you the best of both worlds: barefoot luxury on Placencia’s coast and wild adventure deep in the Maya Forest.
Begin by the Sea at The Ellysian
Your journey starts in Placencia, a laid-back village that has retained its old-world charm while welcoming travelers with open arms. The heart of Placencia is its famous pedestrian-only “main street,” a 4,000-foot stretch lined with colorful murals, local art, and the occasional beachside café where time seems to slow down.
From this hub, the southern reef awaits—perfect for days spent snorkeling among coral gardens, diving into the deep, sailing across turquoise waters, or casting a line on a fishing adventure. Afterward, retreat to The Ellysian Boutique Hotel, where plush suites with private verandas overlook the Caribbean Sea. With only a limited number of suites, The Ellysian offers an intimate stay with personalized service that makes you feel less like a guest and more like family.
Then Journey into the Jungle at Chan Chich Lodge
After soaking up the salt air, it’s time to head north to a very different kind of paradise: the jungle. Nestled within the 500,000-acre Maya Forest, Chan Chich Lodge sits atop a 3,000-year-old Maya plaza, offering both historic wonder and unparalleled immersion in nature.
Here, the soundtrack shifts from crashing waves to the calls of toucans, parrots, and howler monkeys. Birders will delight in spotting rare species, while wildlife enthusiasts can explore one of the world’s best places to encounter Jaguars, Pumas, and Ocelots in their natural habitat.
Chan Chich is also part of Gallon Jug’s sustainable agro-industry, home to Belize’s only coffee plantation, where conservation and responsible practices have been guiding principles for over three decades. Between jungle hikes, guided safaris, and starlit evenings, your days here promise both adventure and tranquility.
The Best of Both Worlds
The Jungle and Beach Package is designed to give you the ultimate Belizean experience: mornings with your toes in the sand, afternoons in the shadow of ancient temples, and nights serenaded by either the sea or the forest. Whether you crave adventure, relaxation, or a seamless mix of both, this package is a reminder that Belize is a destination where contrasts come together in perfect harmony.
