Centuries ago, a young priest named St. Valentine risked everything for love, defying Roman law to secretly marry couples. His devotion to love, sealed with a heartfelt letter signed “From Your Valentine,” became the foundation for the modern celebration of Valentine’s Day. While his story is steeped in legend, the essence of romance and bravery lives on, inspiring millions to celebrate love in meaningful ways.

Nestled in the Maya heartland, The Lodge at Chaa Creek invites you to discover a unique blend of adventure, nature, and romance that will leave you spellbound.

Embark on Your Own Nature-Moon in Belize
Love is an adventure, and in Belize, every moment feels like a page from a romantic novel. Here are some enchanting activities to make your Valentine’s getaway truly extraordinary:
Poetry by the Water’s Edge
Water has long been a symbol of love, and Belize’s rivers and waterfalls create the perfect backdrop for romance. Stroll down to the banks of the Macal River, where the gentle flow and chirping wildlife inspire heartfelt sonnets. If adventure is more your style, take a canoe ride together, gliding along the winding river surrounded by nature’s beauty.
For a classic romantic outing, visit one of Belize’s stunning waterfalls. Marvel at the power of Big Rock Falls in Mountain Pine Ridge or embark on a pontoon boat ride to the serene cascades of Vaca Lake, just upstream from Chaa Creek.
Forest Bathing for the Soul
Step into Belize’s verdant jungles and immerse yourself in the ancient art of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. This mindfulness practice allows you to connect with nature while rekindling your connection with each other. Walk together beneath the towering bamboo cathedral at Chaa Creek or meditate under the broadleaf trees of the Chiquibul Forest Reserve.
With over 500 bird species as your soundtrack, forest bathing in Belize is an unforgettable way to nurture love while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest.
Serenades from Feathered Friends
Nature’s most romantic singers, Belize’s birds, create a symphony of love. At Chaa Creek, awaken to the calls of Chachalacas and venture out for a guided birdwatching tour. Spot the dazzling Blue-Crowned Motmot, the whimsical Squirrel Cuckoo, and the iconic Keel-Billed Toucan, whose vibrant plumage and croaking serenades will leave you enchanted.
For an even more romantic birdwatching experience, visit Red Bank Village in southern Belize to witness the Scarlet Macaws in all their fiery splendor. Their vivid red feathers and graceful flight are sure to leave an indelible mark on your Valentine’s adventure.
Stargazing Under a Blanket of Stars
Few experiences rival the romance of stargazing, and Belize offers one of the most breathtaking night skies in the world. With little to no light pollution, the jungle transforms into a celestial paradise. Lie back and marvel at the Milky Way, Orion’s Belt, and countless other constellations twinkling above.
Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or simply a lover of the night, the starlit skies of Belize provide a magical setting for deepening your bond and creating memories that last a lifetime.
A Celebration of Love and Chocolate
No Valentine’s celebration would be complete without chocolate, and Belize offers a special connection to the beloved treat. The ancient Maya, who once thrived in this region, were the original creators of chocolate, revering it as “the food of the gods.”
At Chaa Creek, indulge in chocolate-themed delights, from decadent desserts and signature cocktails to soothing chocolate-infused spa treatments. It’s a sweet reminder of Belize’s rich history and a perfect complement to your romantic escape.
