Kanu Island in Belize is challenging the mentality that private cabanas and sweeping ocean views are out of reach for the typical consumer.

What further sets this beautiful destination apart is the commitment to sustainability. The off-grid resort is powered by solar energy, and rainwater is collected during the wet season to reuse throughout the property.
Spanning 1,000-square-feet, the villas have a full-time private chef, a massage therapist and maid service.
Island vibes extend throughout the villas with the use of bamboo and tons of fresh air.
An on-site boat concierge can set you up for a day of adventure on paddleboards and in kayaks.
