If you’re a bride-to-be wanting a luxury honeymoon but the future husband needs some persuading, then why not tell him the amazing properties featured today are owned by director of The Godfather himself: Francis Ford Coppola. In my opinion that instantly makes them cool but they’re already beyond beautiful…
Blancaneaux Lodge
Location: Nestled in the Maya Mountains of Belize and surrounded by rainforest, this tropical retreat was used for Coppola’s family before he opened it to the public in 1993.
Resort: The lodge features twenty luxurious properties, a mix of villas & cabanas, with stunning views of cascading waterfalls and jungle flora.
Entertainment: Along with the on-site waterfall spa, activities such as mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking to Big Rock Falls, there is also the ancient civilization of Maya to explore. From ceremonial caves to stalactite caverns and the ruins of Caracol there’s plenty of amazing adventures to be had.
Turtle Inn
Location: Also in Belize, yet this time situated on a pristine white-sand beach, this resort is consistently ranked among the best in Central & South America.
Resort: The resort consists of twenty-five thatched cottages with private decks right by the Caribbean ocean. A salt-water and freshwater pool are available for guests to enjoy.
Entertainment: Alongside relaxing activities such as unwinding in the spa and enjoying the sea views, there are a wealth of exciting activities including diving to explore the coral reef just offshore. Hikes to hidden lagoons, canoe trips up Monkey River and bike rides to the local town will also fascinate the honeymooner!
La Lancha
Location: Situated in Guatemala, La Lancha is set in the rainforest high above the shores of stunning Lake Petén Itzá.
Resort: The lodge with split-level swimming pool, has 10 individual Casitas, each decorated with Balinese artwork and furnishings combined with fabrics and carvings from Guatemala. All Casitas have large decks with hammocks and chairs for relaxing and enjoying the splendid view of lake or rainforest.
Entertainment: Beyond the lake lies Tikal: Mayan ruins including ancient temples and plazas that are archaeological wonders of the world. The lake offers boat rides and canoeing whilst other off-lake activities include birdwatching and even Spanish classes!

And there’s more…
As if these three amazing properties aren’t enough to choose from, the Coppolas also offer Jardin Escondido in Buenos Aires and 714 Gov. Nicholls Street in New Orleans!
With a south beach loft in Miami and Palazzo Margherita in Italy also on the agenda I can imagine the Coppolas will soon have something that is certain to suit everyone!
