During the months of September and October, Villa Verano honeymoons are 20 percent off. The honeymoon continues to be one of the most important holidays for a married couple. Many consider it to be that one chance to really do something special. At Villa Verano, couples don’t have to simply sit on the same beach for two weeks (they can if they wish), but they have the option to experience reef, river, inland and cultural adventures by day, while enjoying a luxurious honeymoon suite by night. Couples can pamper themselves with an in-room or rooftop couples massage, and the dedicated team at Villa Verano in Hopkins, Belize, remains ready to plan and deliver luxurious honeymoon adventures for couples who are looking for authentic once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Hopkins is a small Garifuna village located in southern Belize in the district of Stann Creek, just south of Dangriga and north of Placencia. Hopkins is truly an up-and-coming destination, mainly because of its charm and its proximity to some of the country’s most beautiful natural attractions. In the south, adventure spots are always nearby, so it is easy and convenient to access waterfalls, ancient Mayan cities, horseback riding, canoeing, ?shing, snorkeling or SCUBA diving.
Exploring Hopkins Village is an adventure in itself, with a colorful array of restaurants, shops and bars. By riding or walking through the village, guests will have the opportunity to meet the warm and friendly people, and observe some of the traditions and lifestyles of the community. Actually, in 2010, Hopkins was voted “the friendliest village in Belize”. Drums and drumming are one of the ancient traditions of the Garinagu and at the “Lebeha Drumming Center” guests can see drumming and learn a few techniques. Visits to a local artisan can also be arranged to learn how drums are made, or travelers can have private drum lessons and jam sessions at Villa Verano.
Some of the most popular tours are in the immediate area, including the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, home to the country’s only Jaguar Preserve; the May?ower Bocawina National Park with zip lines and unparalleled waterfall hikes; and the Monkey River Tour, a unique river tour with opportunities to see wildlife, such as the black howler monkeys, as well as a wide variety of birds, ?ora and fauna. Several Mayan archaeological sites are located nearby, as well as caves, and equestrian trails. As a coastal community, all watersports are also easily accessible.
There is no shortage of romance or adventurous discoveries for honeymoon couples at Villa Verano. Newlyweds can sit in the rooftop hot tub with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Maya Mountain range to the west. All tours at Villa Verano cater to the speci?c needs of individuals, and can be customized depending on preferences. Most tours can be arranged as either full day or half day trips.
