With Belize postponing its airport reopening for international travel, there’s one thing we know for certain: Belize is a destination worth waiting for. Once travel does resume, we can also predict the travel trends that’ll prevail, including socially distanced adventures. In Western Belize, one property is on our radar offering just that, and more, at San Ignacio Resort Hotel. With tempting offers on the rise for late 2020, you can find both super savings and social distancing right at San Ignacio Resort Hotel.
This award-winning boutique hotel is situated in the Cayo district at the heart of San Ignacio town. However with only 27 rooms situated over the 17-acre estate, this is urban social distancing at its best. And with such a small number of rooms, guests can take advantage of all the on-property amenities, like the outdoor swimming pool and tennis court, without worrying about getting bored!
In addition, in-room wellness treatments give visitors the perfect excuse to take advantage of social distancing. San Ignacio Resort Hotel’s on-site dining, Running W Restaurant, showcases meats from the family’s namesake ranch. Not to worry, there are plenty of tables for two! If you’re feeling casual or for a cocktail, try their Lobby Bar. They even offer a sushi menu!
Socially-Distanced Adventures with San Ignacio Resort Hotel
For those in search of adventure, the on-site tour company, Cayo Gial Tours, offers a range of activities designed around space and mother nature. Canoeing and kayaking along the Macal River are great for avoiding large crowds. Alternatively, enter the Maya world of Xibalba and discover the spectacular Belize cave systems with a private tour. For animal lovers, horseback riding through the Belize jungle is also fun and safe way to explore Belize while social distancing.
On property, there is also of plenty of safe – and fun – socially distanced activities too. Perhaps, take a gentle early morning hike bird-watching around the grounds of the hotel. Or, you can even learn about how the Maya used local plants and herbs to heal on the Tea Tasting Medicinal Tour.
One adventure that cannot be missed is the Green Iguana Conservation Project. Located on-site, the Green Iguana Conservation Project is an interactive exhibit that gives visitors a closer look at the life of Green Iguanas. After all, visitors can hold and mingle with the adorable iguanas whilst learning about the incubation, hatching, rearing, and releasing process. Not to mention, the endangered Green Iguanas as released into the wild at the end of their project; in an effort to boost population numbers of local Green Iguanas.
