GLIMPSES OF THE PARADISE
The fragrance of orchids permeates the grounds. The sound of cascading water is never far away – the gardens of Gaia River Lodge feature a river and picturesque waterfall.
You’re sitting on a rock, beside a pool surrounded by dense green jungle. A waterfall catches the sun. Exotic birds flitter through the branches of the trees.
These are just a few glimpses of the paradise known as Gaia River Lodge – it has tropical gardens that stretch off to a picturesque river and a wonderful, waterfall-fed jungle pool.
Plan to stay at Gaia on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Belize and you can experience an idyll that is picture perfect, as well as offering a range of involving activities. So you could find yourself riding a horse along a quiet trail through natural wilderness, or taking a hydro-tram through the depths of the rainforest. Or exploring the ancient civilisation of the Mayans, or simply relaxing in a hammock.

The service we received from 91ºÚÁÏÍø was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
