BONDING TOGETHER

Family Time Reimagined:
Your Private Family Retreat

A luxury estate exclusively for your family reunion or celebration

Here, family time replaces busy schedules. Splash in the pool together, wake to birdsong, and enjoy quality moments in luxurious comfort — far from the chaos of everyday life.

This Belizean luxury estate is the perfect family haven. It’s a private retreat where homework, schedules, and constant notifications fade away. Picture enjoying tropical fruit breakfasts with your children by your private pool, exploring jungle trails together in the afternoon, and gathering on the terrace for family game night as the sun sets — surrounded only by nature’s soundtrack, genuine family conversations, and the peaceful joy of being fully present with those you love most.

PEACE AND CONNECTION TO NATURE

Here, You Can Truly Disconnect...

Imagine a place where no one interrupts you with important phone calls. Where your phone rests silently while you spend quality time with your family. This private estate provides complete peace – freeing you from the burdens of the outside world.

REAL COMMUNICATION

Rediscover What True Quality Time Feels Like

On this serene estate, with the sound of birds accompanying your breakfast or while walking jungle trails, genuine conversations will finally have room to blossom. No phone calls, just you and the magic of shared adventures with your family.

PARADISE OF COMFORT AND LUXURY

More Than a Luxury Vacation – Your Private Sanctuary

While other resorts are crowded with tourists, here you’ll have the entire estate to yourself. Your own pool, your own jungle – everything is designed to help you truly recharge with your loved ones.

No “Maybe” Here – Just Pure Presence

Do you know that feeling? Every decision you make is overshadowed by uncertainty. “Should I answer this call?” “Should I call back?” “What if this is an important business opportunity?” These thoughts spin in your head like an endless carousel. By the end of the day, you’re left wondering: did I make the right choice when I prioritized work over family time?

But what if there was a place where you didn’t have to weigh those choices anymore? A place where you wouldn’t have to constantly respond to others’ requests. Imagine the liberating feeling of no longer being the “helpless body” pulled by circumstances, but instead consciously choosing relaxation and presence.

This isn’t a dream — it’s a matter of choice. Like 90 out of 100 people who long to finally let go of external pressures, at Exotica Fruit Farm, you’ll finally be free from the relentless demands and experience what it truly feels like to disconnect and embrace meaningful relationships.

Complete Relaxation Without the Pressure of Everyday Life

Imagine being in a place where you can finally truly connect with the people who matter most to you. No rushing, no ringing phones, no to-do lists to distract you. Exotica Lodge is a private estate where family and friends take center stage. It’s a place where everyone can truly be present — not just in body, but in spirit.

Picture a day where you don’t have to choose between work and your loved ones. Here, every moment is about reconnecting with each other. Instead of the burdens of daily life pulling you apart, the time spent together here gains a new depth. You can enjoy breakfast on the terrace, laugh by the pool, and have long conversations under the glow of the setting sun – moments that will stay with you forever.

On the estate, nature’s embrace not only helps you relax but also creates the perfect opportunity for spending quality time together. The jungle’s bird songs, the gentle breeze, and the serene surroundings create an atmosphere where relationships can grow stronger. You’ll have the chance to slow down, truly focus on one another, and rediscover the value of being together.

This isn’t just a vacation – it’s a special opportunity to create new memories and redefine what it means to truly connect. Exotica Lodge is not just a place, but a shared experience; a space where family and friends come together, and where every moment revolves around you.

Not Just Luxury, But a Way of Life – Here, It’s All About You

Imagine a vacation where you don’t have to adapt to other guests, where there’s no scramble for a spot by the pool, and where there’s no waiting in line for breakfast. Exotica Lodge isn’t a crowded hotel — it’s your private retreat, a place that’s exclusively yours. Here, everything is designed for your comfort, peace, and relaxation.

While other vacations may mean sharing spaces with crowds of tourists, here, the entire estate is yours. Your private hacienda ensures everything is perfect, while the private pool and the tranquility of the jungle guarantee that nothing will disturb your rest. This isn’t just a beautiful location — it’s an experience where you can truly focus on yourself and your loved ones.

Think about it: even in luxury hotels, despite the beautiful rooms, you’re still sharing common areas with others. Restaurants, pools, bars – all are crowded, and your vacation often becomes about constantly adjusting. Exotica Lodge, on the other hand, is a place where none of that exists. Here, you don’t have to compromise with anyone because everything is for your exclusive use.

This estate isn’t just about luxury; it’s about the freedom to set your own rhythm – whether it’s a late breakfast on the terrace, a spontaneous swim with your family, or a quiet walk in the jungle with your friends. Every moment is yours, and nothing limits how you choose to spend your time.

This is more than a vacation — it’s a private sanctuary where everything is tailored to your needs. A place where luxury isn’t just in the surroundings but in the freedom to focus solely on yourself and your loved ones. Exotica Lodge offers a unique experience – a place where the comfort of luxury meets the serenity of nature, and where everything is designed to bring you closer to each other.

We just had an absolutely amazing time in this tropical paradise! The house is incredibly comfortable and spacious, with large, cozy beds and beautifully designed rooms. The décor is breathtaking, with every corner thoughtfully arranged in a tropical style. I couldn’t stop admiring all the stunning artwork and pictures throughout the house!The kitchen was a dream—fully equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for, making our 10-day stay feel like home. Every room has a fantastic ventilation system, so we barely needed the air conditioning. The natural airflow kept everything cool and fresh.One of the most charming touches was arriving to find gorgeous exotic flower arrangements in both the bathroom and kitchen. It was such a thoughtful, welcoming detail!The absolute highlight of the house was the pool area. It’s incredibly spacious, with plenty of lounge spots to relax in. The pool itself was pristine, always the perfect temperature, making it an ideal spot to unwind at any time of the year. Surrounded by lush gardens filled with vibrant flowers and exotic birds, it felt like a slice of paradise.We were also greeted with a fresh fruit basket upon arrival, which was delicious and a lovely touch. Chalet, our guide, took us on a tour of the garden, and he was excellent! He gave us such an insightful, enjoyable walk through the property, showing off all the natural beauty it had to offer.Les, the host, provided an incredibly detailed guidebook with recommendations for the best restaurants, activities, and attractions in the area. Even though we were nestled in the heart of the jungle, Placencia was just a quick 30-minute drive away, so we were able to easily explore the Caribbean coast as well.In short, this place was pure magic. If you ever get the chance, don’t hesitate—stay in this paradise. It’s an unforgettable experience!

This is the type of place that AirBnB was designed for! The rental offers an absolutely unique and pleasurable experience. If you care about what you eat, then this is like renting a hacienda with a pool in the Garden of Eden.Each morning the hosts brought us a variety of exotic fruits and veggies straight from their trees, plants, and vines. I recognized many. Some were absolutely new to us, like “apple bananas” which might bring me back to Belize just to have them again. We also had things like fresh coconut water from actual coconuts every morning.Les and Julia were exceptional hosts! They were very attentive. Les fulfilled each and every request we had. He did a grocery shopping and stocked up our fridge with food. He was very responsive and resourceful. He organized a monkey river tour for us at half the price with an experienced guide. He provided detailed information about the area, things to do and explore, suggested best restaurants and offered to make reservations. He was “on call” for us 24/7. We couldn’t ask for more.Most afternoons we were out exploring or playing in the pool, which is brand new and gorgeous. Sometimes, we’d walk the trail into the jungle or explore the plantation. I had to pinch myself at times that this was real.At night, we would cook our own dinner, sometimes using the new grill out on the deck. The stars and planets are extra clear out here. For dinner out, we would drive 10-15 mins away and eat at Happy Ranch, which has a full menu and a friendly staff. There is also a Taco place nearby in the same little town that my boys loved. We had many lunches there.There are many things to do from the plantation. We did the following: the Monkey River jungle cruise (45 mins away), a day at the beach (20 mins), and Zip-lining + river tubing + ATV riding (30 mins). There are a lot of options out there. We also explored Independencia and another smaller town, which are off the beaten track and offer a glimpse of the non-touristed Belize. Everybody was very welcoming.We left after 5 nights to head up to San Ignacio. We wish we had stayed a total of 10 nights at the plantation. We would definitely come back.The only negatives I can think of:  1) There is a cell tower nearby, but we forgot about that once we settled in.  2) The No-See-Ums bugs are a pain. Bug spray keeps them away.P.S. The photos do not do this place justice. The size is not captured well. Things are bigger and more spread out in person.

One couldn’t ask for a more beautiful serene place to just sit back relax,read a book,walk the gorgeous grounds of this pristine62 acre estate, or take a dip in the lovely waterfall pool after a day of sightseeing. Just a short drive to Hopkins or Placencia Village and excursionsThe porch swing is a great place to listen to the birds in the early morning while eating the freshly picked fruit provided daily.Les and Julia have gone beyond in making their place feel like home and treating you like family. The well appointed kitchen provides you with everything you need and the comfortable beds are a definite plus for any air bnb. Plenty of room inside and out for a family or large group makes it so inviting.Once you’ve been, you will long to return.
