Dining at Ka’ana Resort focuses on authentic gourmet Belizean cuisine sourced from the property’s thousand-bottle wine cellar and two-acre organic gardens. The culinary team utilizes only the season’s best ingredients to create divine flavors, spanning from fresh fruit smoothies in the morning to achiote roasted chicken and Mayan Dukunu in the evening. Guests are invited to customize their own private dining experiences, whether fireside in the courtyard, on the yoga deck, or in the wine cellar, the largest in Western Belize. Don’t miss out on special liquor tastings and artisanal herbal infused cocktails served fresh at The Wallace indoor/outdoor lounge.
