Nature’s Permanent Address
Chial Reserve was built into the hillside of a mountain long left untouched. No roads led here. No infrastructure marked the land. Just elevation, forest, and a view that moved in every direction. From the beginning, the intent was clarity. Modern design in a place that had only ever been approached through imitation—of the past, of rusticity, of someone else’s idea of what nature should feel like. Chial moved differently. Contemporary villas, clean lines, private pools, and floor-to-ceiling glass. Not decorative. Not themed. Simply placed with care, and made to last.
The villas are private. But the experience is unified. One and two-bedroom homes with hotel-level service, generous interiors, and panoramic views of the valley. On one side: Xunantunich. On the other: Cahal Pech. The reserve sits on historic hunting grounds—still rich with wildlife, still deeply quiet. Wellness is not styled in. It’s present in the pace, the air, the space between things. It’s not something offered. It’s something felt.
And once felt, not easily forgotten.
Packages
Immersive itineraries built around time and terrain. Each stay begins with a conversation—preferences noted, rhythms understood. Experiences are selected and sequenced with care. For rest, for depth, or for movement.
Experiences Menu
A living index of the reserve. Every offering is available by request and guided by intention. Jungle rides, plant walks, sound rituals, and private excursions—curated to reflect both the season and the guest.
The Cayo Lifestyle
Days unfold slowly on the mountain. Morning walks. Jungle air. Long meals made from what’s in season. The Chial Lifestyle reflects a way of being — one shaped by place, not pressure.
Your Stay
Set into the hillside, each villa is privately owned and maintained as part of the Reserve. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a private pool come standard. So does stillness. Glass walls open to wide valley views. Interiors are restrained—stone, wood, linen—designed to complement what’s outside, not compete with it. There is no schedule. No programming. Just time, held gently in place by the mountain.
Accommodations
Set into the hillside, each 2-bedroom villa offers over 2,000 square feet of living space—complete with private pool, full kitchen, and sweeping views of the valley. Designed for long stays and quiet mornings.
