Romantic Getaway for Adults Only

Stay somewhere EXTRAORDINARY! Immerse yourself in the luxury, tranquility and seclusion of this well equipped, romantic couples retreat. This utterly unique accommodation is the entire third floor of Villa Cayo with stunning 360 degree views while wrapped in jungle canopy that is filled with birds and other wildlife.

VILLA CAYO is to the jungle what Condos are to the beach.

Located just 1 ½ mile from the twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena with auto rentals, taxis and bus service easily available making this a perfect vacation destination.
The Rooftop Villa # 7 is the entire 3rd floor of the main villa. From the 3rd floor you can see all of the surrounding countryside. While on the rooftop veranda you could also be greeted by some of the 225 birds known to occupy the jungle canopy in the Cayo district. Particularly friendly you could be greeted by the Aricaris checking to see if you might have a papaya to share with them. At night the local kinkajou or coatamundi could be in the trees eating the seeds and nuts.
Waking up to the jungle mist and the sounds of the chacalaca and parrots can be one of the greatest jungle experiences.
The villas kitchens are fully equipped to allow cooking for special diets or to avoid the high cost of resort dining or local restaurants. There are baking sheets for roasted vegetables, crock pots for slow cooking, comal, WOK and a BBQ area for grilling.
This excellent location is close to most of the Maya sites, zip lines, caves and cave tubing. The friendly owners can help you arrange your adventure tours. They will strive to make your eco-adventures a safe and relaxed experience without any hidden charges.

The best views!
This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. Ken and Virginia were awesome and our room was always clean and tidy. The views were so beautiful and the outdoor shower was top notch.

This place is a real gem!
After a little confusion at check in got sorted out, we truly enjoyed staying at Villa Cayo! The hosts, Ken and Virginia, were friendly, gracious hosts and the property is beautiful and well maintained. The pictures REALLY don’t do justice to this fabulous property! It is quiet, secluded, well appointed and waking up to the mist covering the forest and watching the vista appear as the sun warms up and burns off the mist. Absolutely gorgeous! Convenient to both Santa Elena and San Ignacio, and as a bonus Virginia can help arrange any excursions you might want. We will definitely stay here again when we return to San Ignacio!

Peaceful Paradise
Be a part of the jungle with just a short drive from the city. My husband and I enjoyed the rooftop villa on this trip. We felt like we were totally alone on the mountain top. Virginia is a great host and has great recommendations for eating out and day trips. This is not your normal house rental, staff comes in daily to freshen towels and clean up. I personally don't feel they need to but it is nice to have the ac turned on in the afternoon to cool your room before you return from your excursion. Most amazing sunrise and sunset views will be enjoyed here. My early rising husband captured a sunrise video with the sounds of the jungle birds waking up, that was unbelievable. No need to beat yourself up driving hours to the jungle resorts you can experience it here and have the convenience of the short drive to eat put, shop, and explore near by ruins. Also recommend going out to Rio on Pools and Rio Cave out the same road. Pack a lunch and enjoy a swim in the pools. Every time we have gone to the pools we have the entire place to ourselves. Highly recommend you have 4 wheel drive anytime you travel in Belize. The cabins are just as nice if you dont want outdoor showers, cooking and stairs.
