About this property

La Alma – Peaceful Riverfront Eco-Comfort at Alma Del Rio

Alma Del Rio – Eco-Comfort on the Water is an award-winning riverfront eco-retreat set directly on the Macal River, just minutes from San Ignacio. Consistently rated 5 stars for over five years, it offers a rare blend of privacy, nature, and thoughtful comfort in one of Belize’s most beautiful settings.

Surrounded by towering trees and flowing water, the property features private river access, a secluded swimming spot, and complimentary paddle boards for exploring the calm river. Mornings begin with birdsong and howler monkeys, while evenings settle into peaceful jungle stillness under the stars.

The eco-homes are designed to feel warm, inviting, and connected to nature, with handcrafted details and open spaces that encourage relaxation without sacrificing comfort. Alma Del Rio is ideal for travelers seeking a stay that feels authentic, grounded, and memorable rather than hotel-like.

What truly sets Alma Del Rio apart is the personal concierge-style hosting. We are happy to assist with booking tours and activities throughout the San Ignacio area, including cultural experiences, nature adventures, river excursions, and day trips. For relaxation, private massages can be arranged at the property, allowing guests to fully unwind without leaving their tranquil surroundings. Meals and private chef experiences can also be coordinated upon request for guests who wish to enhance their stay.

Every stay at Alma Del Rio is personal and intentional. Whether you’re paddling the river, swimming at the private river beach, enjoying a hands-on Maya cooking experience, or simply relaxing with the sounds of the jungle, Alma Del Rio offers a truly unforgettable Belizean experience.

Host profile image
Alma del Rio, the 'soul of the river', is named after our little Alma Sophia, who was born here in Belize and is raised among its diverse nature and culture.
We've been living in Belize for nearly 10 years. For the first two years we managed a luxury island resort and presently own a business introducing and distributing renewable energy products. We bring into Alma del Rio all we know and believe in - professional hospitality and environmental awareness.
We will be more than happy to help you get around, visit the best destinations and plan your trip according to your preferences and budget. We know the hospitality industry in Belize well and will be glad to share our knowledge with you.
Have a wonderful day!
Tom, Hadas & Alma
