The villa is located on two acres off beautiful rain forest and has many large majestic trees including cedars, mahoganies, mangos,mayflowers, breadfruit and many species of palms. The property also contains a wide variety of botanical plants and fruiting bushes and trees which attract all kinds of birds and other wildlife.

The vaulted living and dining rooms have large windows facing one of the greatest river views in belize. The modern kitchen has a 10 foot panorama window which over looks a very large mahogany tree and several fruit bering trees which attract hundreds of birds to them daily. In front off the house there is a large tiled patio and a second, screened and covered, one to the side of the living room. There are two large vaulted bedrooms with king and queen beds and two washrooms complete with oversized showers.

There is a dock on the river that is great for fishing off and a great spot to watch the sun set. In the winter months the river can be so smooth you can hardly tell where the River ends and the sky begins. There is a fishing rod for your use in the villa. You can buy shrimp at the grocery store for bait. We also have a canoe for our guest to use. You will be able to step out of your house into a canoe for an amazing ride at your leisure.

The villa is suitable for a great family get away or a quite couples retreat close to all the amenities that the area has to offer. If your a bird watcher this is the spot for you. We have a wide variety of birds visiting the property all the time. The local River guides sometimes use our lot to point out various trees and wildlife. If your a fisherman there is no better place to stay you can fish off the dock or take a canoe and fish any where on the river or in Anderson lagoon farther down River. We also have two bikes for your use.

We can have our property manager assist you making reservations for any excursion you want in Belize.

Peaceful and Relaxing!

The white orchid villa was an amazing place to spend our 10 days in Belize. The location is quiet and calm, letting you enjoy nature to the fullest! We saw and heard many many birds. The screen porch lets you enjoy being outside, while keeping the bugs away! The house was very clean, very well equipped for cooking, and the beds comfortable. Groundskeeper was friendly and helpful, property manager was great also. Tours are easily coordinated from Hopkins, and they will pick you up at the property even. Definitely recommend this property for a peaceful, calm, relaxing get away! Thank you Rupa for sharing your home with us!!

Gorgeous property

We had a perfect stay at White Orchid! The Sittee River is stunningly beautiful and Hopkins is a friendly town with everything we could have needed and more. Can’t wait to return! Hopefully, we can stay at this villa again!

Secluded jungle compound

We had a great stay at Rupa’s Jungle Compound on the Sittee River over Christmas. Rupa even arranged to have a Christmas tree set up for our two year old daughter. The property is as advertised right on the river. We were hoping to swim in the river, but there are crocodiles. It’s pretty murky, so you can’t really tell what lurks beneath the surface. Enrique and his wife, the Mayan caretakers, are very amicable. Enrique took me fishing on the canoe. Many fish were caught. His wife made a traditional Mayan fish soup for us on Christmas Eve. The property is a ways out of town on really bumpy roads. A vehicle with high clearance is recommended. We had a Hyundai sedan and it was painful to drive. No internet, but we knew that going in. If you have T Mobile you’ll get 256k speeds for data and texting, which worked fine. The dogs barked every night. It didn’t wake our daughter, so it was a non issue for us. Mosquitos were pretty bad, but we were prepared for them. Overall we had a great time at the compound.

Nature's Paradise

The property was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. Fished right off the dock. 24 year old daughter was not crazy about the fact there was no WIFI. I found it a plus. Unplug and unwind.
