Copal Tree Lodge, a Muy’Ono Resort, is an All-Inclusive Jungle Lodge in Belize. Copal Tree Lodge has grown from pioneering the ideas of sustainable food production and agritourism to become an award-winning, world-class destination welcoming travelers from around the world. Copal Tree Lodge offers a luxurious immersion into the culture and cuisine of Belize in a pristine jungle setting.
Awarded by Travel + Leisure for the ‘World’s Best Award,’ Copal Tree Lodge is a destination for food lovers and adventure seekers. A luxury eco-lodge and 3,000-acre sustainable farm, Copal Tree offers 16 private suites and one three-bedroom villa. The Lodge is surrounded by 22,000 acres of rainforest preserve within the Maya Mountains of Punta Gorda, the southern-most part of Belize. Here you can participate in hands-on learning about the production of coffee, chocolate and indigenous produce at the onsite Farm Center, and immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of the region. The Lodge recently debuted a farm-to-flask initiative with Copal Tree Distillery, located next to the property. The Lodge’s farm proudly supplies the majority of the food served at the Garden Table Restaurant.
Sustainability: Preserving Belize
From the preservation of an intact 12,000 acre nature reserve to the implementation of daily practices that reduce the Lodge’s carbon footprint, Copal Tree Lodge is committed to conservation and local economic development.
- The majority of the food served in the restaurant is organically produced on their farm.
- They use sustainable, line-caught fish and seasonal seafood purchased directly from local day boat fishermen.
- They are helping to save Belize’s indigenous cuisine and the heirloom crops that define it by growing native crops on our 3,000-acre organic farm.
- They are building a global marketplace for Belizean made products through the chocolate, coffee and rum productions right at Copal Tree Lodge.
- They make furniture and building materials on site from their own wild fall or sustainably harvested wood.
- They plant thousands of trees each year as part of an extensive agroforestry program that also supports local wildlife.

Food & Drink
Copal Tree Lodge is dedicated to developing lasting economic stability in Southern Belize through agriculture. The majority of food served at the lodge is grown on-site. Sugar cane, cacao, and coffee are grown organically by local people who are paid fair wages and treated with integrity and respect. At the Garden Table Restaurant, the chef makes wonderful use of the ingredients grown by the farm team and sourced locally from nearby farmers.
Using that same commitment to the local ecosystem, Copalli Rum is created in a zero-impact facility using a non-hybridized sugarcane varietal native to the area. The farm-to-flask initiative supports sustainable agriculture causes in Southern Belize by producing and selling premium organic spirits. Located in the heart of the main lodge, the Copal Tree Rum Bar is the place to relax and enjoy this homemade rum.
