Tucked along the tranquil Mopan River, Libélula is a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design and quiet luxury.
This is not a hotel, it is a private, design-led retreat in the heart of the Cayo District; created for those who want something more personal, more grounded and more memorable
At Libelula, everything is designed with purpose. We believe true luxury is not about abundance, but precision. Each of our four accommodations offers a distinct connection to the jungle; intimate, immersive and quietly exceptional.
No excess. No distraction. Just space, nature and a place to really unwind.




Our most coveted accommodation: a spacious open-air suite perched directly above the river, with a private deck and unobstructed views of the jungle canopy.


A hand-crafted cabin nestled in the hillside, surrounded by old-growth jungle. Intimate, grounded and deeply private.


Our most private retreat; a two-room villa elevated above the forest floor, with a plunge pool, outdoor dining terrace and 360-degree jungle views.


Set along the tranquil Mopan River, Libélula is a private sanctuary designed for stillness, space and connection with nature.
Four thoughtfully designed properties, two spacious villas and two intimate cabanas, offer open-plan living, vaulted ceilings and wraparound decks that frame the river beyond.
With natural cross-ventilation, air conditioning and handcrafted cedar and mahogany finishes, every detail has been considered to feel calm, open and effortlessly comfortable.

Whether you are looking for a peaceful escape, a romantic getaway or a nature-filled adventure, Libélula offers a really special place to stay and reconnect.

Libelula River Lodge is situated along the Mopan River, just two miles from the charming village of Bullet Tree Falls.
Surrounded by the lush Cayo District, the lodge is less than two hours from Belize City and the international airport.
We are close to the historic Mayan ruins and only a short distance from San Ignacio, a vibrant town with local amenities and Belize’s largest farmers market.
