This fully vegan 6-day, 5-night retreat takes place in the primal jungles of Belize at Jade Jungle Resort. Set across 300 acres of jungle, the property offers a thoughtful balance of comfort and a deep respect for nature. Guests stay in traditional thatch-roof huts surrounded by the rainforest, with the chance to explore and dine near ancient Maya ruins where people lived 2,000 years ago. The setting is rich in history, authenticity, and a sense of wonder that feels truly rare.

Immerse yourself in a rainforest ecosystem that has been developing for more than 500 years. The air feels exceptionally clean, and the property is home to nearly 300 bird species, along with thousands of other forms of wildlife. It is an environment designed to awaken the senses and reconnect you with the natural world.

Food, the True Love Language

Enjoy breakfast and lunch buffets, plus Jade’s signature four-course dinners, all fully vegan and created to nourish the body while delighting the palate. Throughout the retreat, you’ll deepen your connection to plant-based living through time spent with your host Alyssa @platifulalyssa and fellow travelers, including cooking demonstrations and memorable culinary experiences shared together.
