The Lodge at Chaa Creek
Chaa Creek's natural oasis
First class eco lodge in Belize
Started more than twenty years ago, Chaa Creek has grown organically to be one of the very best eco-lodges in Belize with a real sense of place, character and history. The lodge is set in a 365-acre private nature reserve on the banks of the Macal River.
There are just twenty three rooms ranging from garden suites to the jacuzzi cottage, all are ample in size and tastefully appointed with local hardwood furnishings and textiles. The lodgings are arranged around beautiful lush gardens dotted with royal palms and brimming with exotic birdlife. At the centre is a large infinity pool, bar and restaurant. There is also a large spa area atop the hill with an extensive range of treatments on offer. The lodge is well-positioned to explore the attractions of the surrounding area from Mayan ruins to Cave systems. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional.
The impact of your stay:
- The lodge champions sustainability through the implementation of green energy practices, ensuring the property operates in harmony with the environment. This dedication to running the lodge sustainably reflects a conscientious effort to protect and preserve the delicate ecosystems that thrive within the reserve.
- Their ‘Butterfly on the Road’ project is an inspiring initiative that extends beyond the boundaries of the lodge, connecting with primary schools in nearby communities. This educational initiative highlights the captivating life cycle of butterflies, underscoring their vital role in the environment. Students benefit from hands-on experiences that provide valuable insights into the significance of butterflies in pollination and maintaining ecosystem balance.
- The lodge contributes 5% of room revenue to social and environmental causes. These include an annual river cleanup, a successful partnership with the Yerkes Primate Institute and Foundation for Wildlife Conservation for the reintroduction of Howler Monkeys to the 400-acre preserve, and a yearly scholarship programe providing monetary aid for tertiary and secondary students’ tuition fees.
