Looking to reset and escape the rat race? Sattva Land eco-resort, in the Mayan jungle of Belize, brings travelers a kinder, gentler time with its multigenerational-family-owned retreat renowned for warmth, friendliness, wellness properties and a natural setting.

Situated on 20 acres in the jungle, retreats at Sattva Land include spa treatments, jungle hikes, meditative garden walks, dips in natural swimming pools and plant-based cuisine. Its location in the biodiverse forest near coral reefs allows Sattva Land to offer excursions to waterfalls, caves, Mayan temples and Placencia Beach. Guests can add to their retreats with yoga, sound healing, chocolate tasting and so much more.

“One of the most fundamental experiences we seek out as humans is connection. Whether it’s connection to other humans, the environment, spirituality, or our deeper selves, connecting and weaving our story into the larger tapestry of life often results in profound feelings of peace and wellbeing,” said Sam Combs, general manager and lead facilitator, Sattva.

Accommodations range from a jungle castle and cabins to garden homes and modern suites, and the resort serves individuals, couples and families. Its two ongoing retreats include The Threshold, a personal retreat immersion designed specifically for your unique needs and wants; and The Entwined, for couples looking to relax, reconnect and grow together.

“As an off-grid, rainforest retreat center and community, Sattva creates a sacred space for people to feel held and supported while they make new connections, grow past their perceived comfort zones, and onboard new mindsets,” said Combs.
