Lamanai Outpost Lodge
BelizeLamanai Outpost Lodge is a rustic jungle hideaway set on the banks of the New River Lagoon in Belize.
There are 20 thatched cabanas on the property offering a comfortable stay while overlooking the garden or lagoon depending on room type. While only two of the rooms are air-conditioned, the rest are well ventilated and come with ceiling fans to ensure guests are kept cool.
The Lamanai Outpost Lodge houses an open-air restaurant and bar with panoramic views of the lagoon where guests can savour fresh Belizean cuisine.
Featured on National Geographic Explorer as one of Belize’s finest lodges, Lamanai Outpost is the premier birding destination with almost 400 species sighted within three miles of the lodge. Check out species such as the pygmy kingfisher, black collared hawks and Yucatan nightjars among many others. One of the many highlights is to paddle a canoe on Crab-Catcher Lagoon to take in the sunrise and witness the spectacle of birds awakening.
