Come Saturday, May 6th, the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, expected to be a grand and lavish ceremony, will take place at Westminister Abbey. In the UK, it is expected to be “a bank holiday like no other” according to The Telegraph, full of pomp and pageantry and jubilant celebrations. Ahead of King Charles’ (official) ascension to the throne, here’s a look at one Belize resort that’s fit for royalty in more ways than one.

Perched on a hill overlooking both a verdant expanse and the vibrant San Ignacio Town, the San Ignacio Resort Hotel has been the site of many a historic royal visit to Belize. More than that though, this Belize resort boasts stunning architecture and designs that never fail to delight.
Its lobby, reminiscent of something taken from fairytale books, is perhaps the epitome of this. Marble columns and floors alongside a grand staircase made from exotic hardwood are the first thing to greet intrepid travelers and eager guests.

Meanwhile, rooms like the Royal Suite, located atop that grand staircase, blend comfort and elegance seamlessly. Bathed in light thanks to sprawling windows and adorned with various shades of royal blue, it’s no wonder the royal suite is one of San Ignacio Resort’s most sought after rooms.
This luxury suite holds 2-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms. Plus, it offers scenic views from the comfort of your balcony and then some. Step through french doors onto your own private veranda for views of the forest below or take a dip in the private outdoor jacuzzi. The Royal Suite features a guest room with a King Bed and private bathroom; while the main bedroom offers a King poster bed and sitting area.

Even more, thanks to an exceptional team of hospitality staff, every guest that walks through the doors of San Ignacio Resort receives royal treatment. That includes being greeted at the front desk, and of course when enjoying breakfast or a nightcap at the onsite Running W Restaurant.
The Home of Historic Visits
When we say that San Ignacio Resort Hotel is fit for a royal stay, we very much mean it. This historic western Belize resort has accommodated everyone from the late Queen Elizabeth to Prince William and Princess Kate.

In 1994, during one of the Queen’s most notable visits to the region, the resort hosted both her and and Prince Philip. There, the queen enjoyed a specially prepared lunch.
Then, in March 2022, the then Duke of Cambridge, William, followed in the footsteps of his grandmother with a visit to Belize’s Cayo district. The Duke and Duchess spent their final night in the country at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel, where they dined on bacon wrapped beef tenderloin medallions and aged black Angus New York strip steak.
