If you’re yearning for a break from the hustle and bustle of modern life and crave a connection with nature without compromising on comfort, a Gecko Vacation in Belize at one of their 4 off grid properties might just be the perfect getaway. 

Tucked between the sparkling Caribbean Sea and the jungles of Central America, Belize is a small and still somewhat undiscovered gem of a country that offers a unique blend of natural beauty.  The country’s interior contains lush, tropical forests and the remnants of an ancient Mayan civilization, while the coastline is protected by the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere and hundreds of small islands, locally referred to as “cayes.”  Much of Belize remains undeveloped, in its untouched natural state.  This is a country in which you can leave the world behind, unplug, and recharge.  But finding solace in the tranquility and simplicity of a remote, off-grid locale doesn’t have to mean “roughing it.”  Gecko Vacation’s luxury properties bring all the comforts of home to the most secluded and beautiful settings in Belize.  Here’s what to expect when you go off the grid with Gecko Vacation Rentals.

Embrace Sustainability

In Belize, “off grid” is almost always synonymous with “eco-friendly.”  One of the core principles of a Gecko Vacation is sustainability.  Belize has been recognized for its commitment to preserving its rich biodiversity and incredible ecosystem; the Gecko team supports eco-friendly practices and works hard at protecting the environment.  Many of our properties have been designed to have minimal impact on the surrounding nature and our staff employ waste reduction strategies and other conservation techniques to help preserve this beautiful destination.

Never Compromise on Comfort

Gone are the days when going off the grid meant roughing it in basic accommodations.  Gecko Vacation’s  off grid properties allow you to experience the best of both worlds- the tranquility of a remote location and the comfort of luxurious amenities.  Sumptuously styled accommodations, first-rate private chefs, and personal masseuse services are a few of the hallmarks of a Gecko getaway.  You may be off the grid on one of our private islands or deep in the jungle at Valley Stream’s Private Eden villa, but you can still enjoy fast Wi-Fi and ice-cold air conditioning.  Whenever possible, our properties use clean solar energy, natural materials, and locally crafted furnishings.  Our commitment to sustainability extends to our culinary offerings and our chefs pride themselves on serving farm-to-table cuisine with locally sourced, organic ingredients.  Enjoy freshly caught seafood, tropical fruits and vegetables grown from our jungle farm and traditional Belizean dishes prepared with a modern twist.

Disconnect to Reconnect

One of the most profound aspects of an off-the-grid vacation in Belize is the opportunity to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and the surroundings.  While all the Gecko Vacation properties enjoy fast internet onsite, you’ll find limited Wi-Fi in the surrounding areas and while out on excursions.  Being free of the constant barrage of notifications means you are free to truly unwind and be present in the moment, whether that is fishing the outer reef or trekking to hidden caves and ancient temples. Enjoy high quality time with your friends and family without the stress of the modern world weighing on you.  Immerse yourself in nature, explore the wonders of the underwater world, indulge in spa treatment inspired by Mayan traditions, or simply lounge in a hammock with a good book.  The pace of life on an off-grid vacation is slower, allowing you to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

The perfect blend of eco-friendly luxury and off-the-grid adventure, a Gecko Vacation is a truly transformative getaway.  Stylish, sustainable, and secluded, leave the world behind and embark on an unforgettable journey.
