MARUBA RESORT JUNGLE SPA

Picture a canvas of blue skies, between the canopy of an unspoiled rainforest; now breathe deep and evaporate into the sweet air as you are romanced by the music of Mother Nature, such istropical Belize. In case you are unfamiliar with Belize, it is a melting pot of many different ethnic spices and tradition. An intoxicating melange of lovely Mayan ruins, rare wildlife, and endless beauty is what Belize delivers. Nature in its most exquisite form, from the jungles to the mountains to the water, opens herself to the adventure seeker in each of us! One place can let you bask in the sun, snorkel in the water, or hike in the jungles without ever having to unpack and repack - without having to move from one hotel to another - adventure upon adventure await you at the Maruba Resort Jungle Spa!

Maruba Resort Jungle Spa is unquestionablythe place to be. It is a luxury boutique resort and spa literally where the wild things are. If Tarzan came swinging through on a vine here, no one would blink. He’d stop for a cocktail and a dip in the hot tub. Humming birds swoop from the jungle canopy in this dreamy, romantic, and natural environment. Maruba is a quirky place that sings with nature. It is a distinctive alternative to the local day spa where treatments are derived from a meld of curative powers extracted from the remote jungle with science. This rare place on the Mayan trail is certainly not your typical American-style spa. The resort is an eclectic, exotic mix of Mayan, Creole, and African design. Each bungalow is uniquely created to evoke certain themes and every detail including the ornate mosaic floors is hand crafted. The furniture and art found at the resort are all designed and produced on site from natural raw material found in the rain forest.

The experience of mysticism sets in as you discover the wonders of Mother Nature’s rainforest from this neo-primitive spa. The surrounding jungle at this resort creates an elegant, yet contemporary, artistic atmosphere. A gourmet menu featuring Nouveau Jungle cuisine is also available and the resort offers a wide variety of tours from cave tubing to touring the Mayan ruins and horseback riding. Belize’s Great Barrier Reef lies nineteen miles off the coast and is just a fifty-minute boat ride through a jungle river filled with orchids and bromeliads. The spa offers diving fishing and snorkeling tours to this aquatic haven that teems with life and is ready to be discovered. The Jungle Spa offers all modern conveniences and full amenities. It is a free spirited resort and spa where you can restore your body, mind and soul in a truly rare and beautifully relaxed tropical atmosphere.
