The short walk to the Om Shanti platform starts off in Pine Savannah and quickly descends into the cool shade of Broadleaf Forest. The platform itself was built as an extension of the landscape; live trees grow up from its center, and a small creek winds along its base. The gentle sound of bubbling water creates an ambient accompaniment to the myriad of song birds serenading from beneath the canopy — an ideal spot for peaceful mediation. Before returning to the Inn, venture deeper into the jungle with a short stroll along the Mot Mot
Trail (30 minutes loop).

An easy walk (10 minutes) from the Inn , the Lake Lolly Folly platform is situated directly over a gently flowing river. Large dark Tree Ferns, Mountain Palmetto, Paradox Sedge and Giant Saint John's Wort surround the platform adding to the feeling of tranquility and seclusion. The platform's thatched
roof — a traditional Belizean building technique that dates back to before the Maya — provides ample shade and protection from the rain. Continue along the trail (20 minutes) and you will reach Lake Lolly Folly — take a canoe out for a relaxing morning,
sit along the lake's edge watching wildlife, or simply enjoy the
serenity of the still waters.

For those with a more adventurous spirit, walk (45 minutes) or drive to the double-tiered Tiger Creek Falls platform. Here, waterfalls and wild orchids dot the landscape; a roaring cascade rushes over dark granite before falling away out of view; and sunlight filters through the pine trees overhead which provide a trellised view of the clear open sky. Allow yourself some extra time and take a relaxing dip in the crystal clear Tiger Creek pools - ideal for cooling off after a long yoga session.
All our platforms are 25 x 25 square feet.
