The Resort and Rooms, Chaa Creek

Cayo District

Booking enquiry

Pioneers in adventure travel, Mick and Lucy Fleming conceived Chaa Creek in 1981 and their philosophy of ‘wildly civilised’ perfectly encapsulates the vibe. Chaa Creek provides an in-depth yet civilised Belizean vacation, with a focus on ecology and natural history as well as a vibrant, varied culture.

The miles of lush, well maintained trails in the nature reserve are perfect for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking, and the licensed guides are there to help you explore Belize’s natural history including the fascinating Maya civilisation, which once thrived in this area. Canoe trips down the Macal River are a relaxing way to travel through the jungle, and with the Natural History Centre, Butterfly Farm, Rainforest Medicine Trail and numerous activities, your days at Chaa Creek are wonderfully full.

And for some serious pampering, there’s always the Hilltop Spa with stunning views and professional treatments guaranteed to soothe the spirit. We love ‘the coma’ – 90 minutes of unadulterated bliss.

The eco-friendly infinity pool was built with both adults and children in mind. Its bi-level configuration allows for swimming and paddling pools, as well as generous lounging space for dining, sun bathing and relaxation.

With a fabulously stocked bar, an al fresco restaurant, infinity pool, divine spa and a multitude of activities and adventures, you will see why Chaa Creek is one of the highest award winning resorts in Belize and Central America

Your stay at Chaa Creek includes an extensive range of complimentary amenities:

  • Full breakfast in the al fresco restaurant

The ‘jungle cuisine’ at the al fresco restaurant combines modern and traditional cooking techniques with a wide variety of fresh local produce, to create innovative and original culinary offerings. The majority of the produce is grown at the organic Maya farm and what isn’t grown on the farm is hand picked from local producers.

The lunchtime ‘Back a Bush’ menu offers a choice of international dishes like pizzas and pastas accompanied by some regional favorites like quesadillas and tamales.

In the evenings, in addition to the a la carte menu, the chefs offer a daily four course connoisseur menu. Relish dishes such as carrot and ginger soup flavored with orange peel and lemon grass, cho cho and cantaloupe salad with mango and balsamic dressing, or fresh fish fillet wrapped in ‘Santa Maria’ leaves sprinkled with lime butter.

The veranda bar offers a wide selection of inventive cocktails and stocks one of the best selection of spirits in the country.
