Alma Del Rio entire compound on the river

For the true nature lovers, Alma del Rio is simply the perfect spot to perform the Belizean verb of 'Chillaxing' . Our Charming and natural Eco-Houses are Located on the Macal river only 10 min from San Ignacio by the road to the famous Pine-ridge. This listing includes 2 houses for rent (up to 11 guests) . Immersed under huge trees, enjoy the wildlife, pristine views and a secluded river island-beach and swim spot. Our houses are equipped with all the amenities for a cozy and comfortable stay.

Alma Del Rio is the winner of the Belize tourism board award for the best small accomodations or the year!!
Alma Del Rio is a unique & natural property which includes 2 houses 40' apart- La Alma & Casa Sophia. We are acknowledged by the Belize tourism board as a 'health and safety gold standard facility'. Our place is a lot located in a small residential stretch ON the pine ridge road, with natural attractions and services close by (driving distance) Our houses are artfully crafted, nested peacefully in the environment. Enjoy our screened lounges with breathtaking views of the river, often visited by many colorful birds. We offer fast WIFI and the perfect view to show off to your colleagues if you are working from afar.
We planted a young food forest under the huge Guanacaste trees and a herb garden for your use. Follow the path to the river to reach a secluded island with comfortable access (in season).
We offer all the amenities to enjoy the river experience: a cooler, a picnic mat, bamboo plates, beach towels, water shoes and inflatable double kayak. Enjoy complimentary tropical fruit, handmade soaps, coffee, tea and drinking water . We offer a fully equipped kitchen, a hot and cold shower, board games, a spacious dining table and a lounge area with a great river view. We are Kids and pets friendly!! We do not have AC but we do have a great river breeze most of the time and by passive cooling the bedrooms stay cool. Our houses are environmentally friendly: We use a solar water heater and energy efficient lighting, together with only biodegradable products and minimal plastic use. We strive to make minimal impact on the environment.
We offer a truly natural experience. Mind that living in nature means we do get visits from multi-legged or flying critters inside the house. The occasional bangs from falling branches and the chirps and clicks of the geckos add to the tune the beautiful orchestra that nature plays for us :)

We stay in San Ignacio, always available to assist and help you have the perfect stay. Anything you need - be it an extra pillow or just some good recommendations - we are here to help.

Alma del Rio is located 2 miles from Santa-Elena towards the Pine Ridge reserve. Though a sleepy road, before you reach our tranquil home, there are several great attractions - you will pass cool M farm where you can purchase fresh milk and Yogurt, Eden Valley Mayan kitchen to taste delicious locally made chocolate, 'The bluffs' bar and grill for great food, drinks and live music, Maya mountain lodge that only use organic, fresh, local produce in their menu (vegan options available too!). 2 Min drive from our house you can find a magical waterfall. In San Antonio village, we highly recommend trying the the women's co-op restaurant - the best in traditional, hearty Mayan dishes that are some of the best in Belize.

If you travel by car, it's a easy as eating a pie; We are right on the road on the way to pine-ridge. A taxi can be arranged for around $20BZ ($10USD). Buses pass regularly during the day between Santa Elena and Cristo Rey for $2BZ($1USD). Once reaching San Ignacio everything is a walking distance, but taxis are available to take you around for as low as $2BZ ($1US). Around us we have a couple of restaurants only a few minutes drive as well as a beautiful water fall. We have a detailed book with all the information at the house.
