THE
RESORT AMENITIES: In
designing Kanantik, we set out to offer a one-of-a-kind blend of
luxury and seclusion. From the interior design, styled in the Mayan
tradition, and the hand crafted furnishing to the vast amounts of
preserved forest, we included and preserved all that is beautiful
from the area and added superb service and excellent cuisine. We
have an Italian fire wood pizza oven, an authentic gelato machine,
and of course our bar is equipped with espresso machine!
There is a complete dive shop
with a Newton 42' dive boat; a Newton 32' deep sea fishing boat;
1300 feet of palm shaded private beach; swimming in our freshwater
pool; sailing on our Hobie Cat sailboat; sea kayaking; snorkeling;
excursions to nearby Sapodilla Lagoon where you may see manatee;
river canoeing; birding; forest and jungle hiking; or just lazing
in your hammock. Every day is exactly as you want it to be.

DINING: Cuisine worth leaving home for. Our chef brings
the flair for local flavors together with a splash of our Italian
heritage. The resulting Creole-Mediterranean cuisine gives a taste
of both cultures. Imagine. An authentic firewood Italian pizza oven,
pasta maker, gelato machine. And of course, a real expresso machine.
Dining by the sea...it truely does not get any better than this.
ENTERTAINMENT: GARIFUNA
DANCERS - The Garifuna people of Belize, direct descendants of a
group of African slaves who escaped two ship-wrecked Spanish slave
ships near St. Vincent in 1635, celebrate a diverse and rich culture
that is a blend of African traditions of music, dance and religious
ceremonies; Native American farming, hunting, and fishing techniques;
and a French and Arawak influenced language. Guests of Kanantik
can witness traditional Garifuna songs and dance styles as a local
Garifuna dance group performs at the resort weekly.
ACTIVITIES: You're here. What to do? Our Mayan tour guides will
take you deep in the forest, canoeing in scenic, nearly uncharted
rivers, to the adjacent Sapodilla Lagoon where manatee can be seen,
or to the Cockscomb Basin, the world's first jaguar sanctuary -
all 150,000 acres of it. Scenic hikes led by Kanantik guides take
guests to dazzling waterfalls. Hummingbirds and butterflies flock
to the flowering plants that line the trail while several of the
500 species of birds that call Belize home can be spotted in the
towering trees above. |
