Punta Gorda, Belize

Ambergris Caye may be Belize’s hot island getaway, but in the south of the country, Punta Gorda is a worthwhile and easily accessible paradise. The main draw here is the Copal Tree Lodge, a sustainable eco-hotel where 70% of the meat and produce consumed is sourced from the property’s 3,000 acres of farmland. The rainforest hilltop upon which the hotel sits dates back to the Maya period in 600 AD. Those looking for a relaxing vacation should lay back with a book in one of the balcony bathtubs and hammocks, while adventurers can sign up hiking tours of the Maya Mountains, kayaking on the Rio Grande, and organic rum tastings at its on-site distillery, Copalli Rum.
