YOUR OWN PRIVATE HIDEAWAY
Lounge out in your very own seafront villa, where you can hazily languish beneath its soaring
vaulted thatch roof and towering helicopter ceiling fans, the sounds of which blend all too
seamlessly into the dreamlike space. Each of these expansive dwellings, 25 in all plotted along
the grounds of the resort, are only steps away from the Belize Barrier Reef-studded white-sand
beach. Inspired by the indigenous designs Coppola had seen in the Philippines while filming
Apocalypse Now, each of these two-bedroom/two-bathroom cabañas come with their very
own living room (pictured here), private walled garden, al fresco shower and broad screened
deck that usher in the ocean’s soft tropical breezes, naturally cooling the space. If that weren’t
enough to transport you to Coppola’s film set, the room also includes conch-style shellphones
for communicating with reception, instantly evoking radio transmission playback scenes to
Kurtz (Marlon Brando) or those 1938 radio broadcasts by Orson Welles (Heart of Darkness) to
Willard (Martin Sheen).
