This exciting route further expands WestJet’s robust, traveler-friendly network to Central America. The Canadian carrier already operates popular nonstop service to Belize from both Calgary (YYC) and Toronto (YYZ). With convenient direct flights now departing from three major Canadian hubs, you can start planning your warm winter getaway today!

Why Hamanasi is Your Ultimate Winter Sanctuary

Once you touch down at the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City, the winter chill will become a distant memory. A scenic transfer down the coast brings you to Hamanasi, an award-winning, regenerative Belize eco resort nestled in the traditional Garifuna village of Hopkins.

Consistently celebrated as the best resort in Belize for eco-luxury, we are uniquely positioned to show you the absolute best of the country, on and offshore:

  • 🏝️ Coastal Relaxation: Unwind by our freshwater infinity pool, stroll our lush rewilded grounds, or sway in a beachside hammock under the coconut palms.
  • 🌳 Eco-Luxury Accommodations: Sleep high in the coastal canopy in one of our famous, private Belize treehouse rooms, handcrafted with local sustainable hardwoods.
  • 🤿 Vibrant Coral Reefs: Embark on world-class Belize barrier reef diving and snorkeling trips directly from our onsite 5-star PADI Marine Facility.
  • 🐒 Rainforest Adventures: Explore inland wonders with our licensed guides—from climbing ancient Maya pyramids to hiking the world’s only jaguar preserve.
  • 🍽️ Exceptional Dining: Indulge in fresh, organic, garden-to-table cuisine at our award-winning Singanga Restaurant.

Seamless Flight Connections & Stress-Free Planning

We believe your vacation should be relaxing before you even arrive. When you book our signature Reef & Rainforest Package, our reservations team takes care of all your domestic transfers between Belize City and Hamanasi.

🇨🇦 Canadian Traveler Tip: To ensure a seamless connection to our beachfront paradise, we recommend booking WestJet flights that arrive at BZE before 4:00 p.m., to ensure landing before dark.
