Situated at the foot of the Maya Mountains on a private nature reserve, Indian Creek Lodge reflects the culture and architecture of the ancient people who lived here in centuries past.

Thatch-covered buildings. Stone walkways built by local artisans. Walls and terraces lined with tangled vines and colorful Heliconia. Arriving at Indian Creek Lodge is a step back in time brushed with an air of elegance. Whether you land at our local airstrip or pull into our circular drive, Indian Creek Lodge is where your adventure begins.

Surrounded by two large freshwater lagoons teaming with egrets, herons, cormorants, and other exotic birdlife, the lodge’s lounge, bar, and dining area are situated at the base of a low hill, while twelve cabins are scattered along the winding stone path leading from it. Each cabin is nestled in a grove of trees and tropical flowers, and each has a private verandah with a view of the nearby savannah and rainforest. A private executive chef ensures a fine dining experience with a menu composed of both classical dishes as well as native ingredients.

Just steps away from the lodge are the archaeological ruins of Nim Li Punit (Big Hat) a small but significant site with many carved monuments including the second largest in the Maya World. Southern Belize is the homeland of the largest indigenous Maya population in the country. Journey through traditional Maya Villages and step back in time. Visit Lubanntun (Place of Fallen Stones), a major trading center for the region and in ancient time producing large quantities of Cacao (chocolate). Step into the Maya underworld with a backcountry cave expedition.
