With many amazing birds, animals, and breathtaking natural scenery, Belize is one of the best places in the world to experience nature at its most pristine. If eco-tourism is your main reason for visiting, then you might want to have your accommodations as close to nature as you can. At Hamanasi Resort, these cool treehouses found tucked away in a coastal rainforest should be just what you are looking for in Belize.
Hamanasi’s Treehouse Rooms
There is nothing quite like experiencing the beauty of a tropical jungle from your own private treehouse, and Hamanasi Resort has ensured their treehouse rooms are the best accommodations Belize has to offer visitors. Each room is private, spacious, and raised about 12 feet off the ground, affording intimate views of the surrounding jungle. Enjoy seeing birds, orchids, and more right outside your windows. Because each treehouse is freestanding and there are no rooms above or below you, you can enjoy exclusive privacy during your stay.
Sleep in an exquisite four-poster king bed or two queen beds made from wood sourced right here in Belize. The organic Savvy Rest mattresses are both comfortable and sustainably made. Each room also has a sofa that can be pulled out into another double bed. Despite the rustic feel, you won’t have to give up convenience to stay here. Each room comes equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, iPod docks, and showers with skylights. You also get a private porch complete with comfortable mixed hardwood chairs and a hammock for maximum relaxation and comfort.
Hamanasi’s Deluxe Treehouse Rooms
For guests who want a little more, Hamanasi offers their Deluxe Treehouse rooms. These larger rooms are decorated with local art and handcrafted Belizean furniture mostly made on-site by Hamanasi’s carpenters. Relax on your wrap-around veranda to watch exotic birds at your leisure.
Hamanasi’s Deluxe Treehouse rooms come with the same amenities the treehouses do, with some key upgrades such as a private Jacuzzi and minibar. Both types of rooms come with complimentary use of kayaks, bicycles, and stand-up paddleboards locally.
