Overview - Built on the seashore yet with all the fascination of the jungle, Kanantik is an all-inclusive eco-sensitive resort on the southern coast of Belize. It was built within the natural environment and makes every attempt to preserve the pristine setting of unusual and distinct birds and wildlife that join together to provide a surround-sound of amazing clarity and resonance. Each one of the 25 thatched-roof cabanas is indulgently spacious, luxurious, and secluded for ultimate privacy and intimacy. Cabanas are designed with an ancient world Mayan feel, decorated with hand made furnishings and local art and accented with a Belizean contemporary flair. The culinary team brings together a medley of local flavors with a splash of Italian heritage. A large array of amenities are offered including a dive shop, snorkeling tours, sailing, kayaking, and visits to the Jaguar Preserve, Mayan ruins and the Mayfair Waterfall.
