By Belize Live News Staff: Fifty years after opening its doors, San Ignacio Resort Hotel is still setting the standard for hospitality in Belize.
The hotel has been named Belize’s Leading Hotel 2026 by the World Travel Awards, extending a winning streak that began in 2022. The honour comes as the hotel celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Established in 1993, the World Travel Awards are often called the Oscars of the travel industry and are considered among the highest honours in global tourism. Winners are chosen by votes from travel professionals and travellers worldwide.
San Ignacio Resort Hotel’s story is woven into Belize’s history. Over five decades, it has hosted visitors from all walks of life, including Queen Elizabeth II.
Today, its location makes it the perfect base for exploring the Cayo District. Guests can visit ancient Maya sites like Xunantunich and Caracol, explore the famous ATM Cave or paddle along the Macal River, then return to relax in the hotel’s lush jungle setting.
On property, the Running W Restaurant offers fine dining, while the Green Iguana Conservation Project gives guests a hands on look at conservation in action.
Fifty years of service. Five straight World Travel Awards. One unforgettable Belizean experience.
