Luba Hati Beach Resort, Placencia, Stann Creek, could quite possibly be the most unique retreat in Central America for a special occasion or small group event. From the minute guests decide to host their event at Luba Hati they know they are in good hands. Proprietors Carrie Logie and Clifton Sprague make a point of having an active Internet dialogue with the event planner after initial contact. Many who have stayed at the resort often remark that they chose Luba Hati above all others because they knew right from the start that every need would be met and that each question they asked was being answered thoroughly and thoughtfully.

Luba Hati has developed a number of specialty packages based on activities they�ve found appeal to guests. For weddings or small group events they offer a number of packages ranging from Elegant and Deluxe to even one called the �Modest Bride� Package. (There�s even an Elopement Package for those who want an especially small event.) They will also tailor-make individual packages to meet each group�s needs. Every package includes roundtrip transportation from Belize City to Placencia via Mayan Air. Guests are greeted upon arrival at the Placencia airstrip by a Luba Hati representative and are taken by car or boat directly to the resort. Should they choose to travel by sea, they�re in for a glorious treat. Cares seem to slip away on the fifteen-minute private ride to Luba Hati, as guests enjoy the warm ocean breeze and a refreshing drink. As the boat approaches the shore Luba Hati staff come to greet them with fresh juices, rum cocktails and specially prepared locally inspired snacks. Island tunes waft from the beachside bar and guests are guided to one of the four stand-alone casitas on the beach or through the property�s lush gardens to rooms in the main building, where their luggage and room key await them.

Luba Hati Beach Resort, which means House of the Moon in the native Garifuna language, can host groups of up to 34. Each of the eight guest rooms and four casitas feature local art and contemporary design. Custom furnishings are made from indigenous hardwoods and each room has a semi-private balcony or porch. Each morning a basket with fresh breakfast fare, coffee and juice arrives with a personalized wake-up knock.

The Restaurant at Luba Hati, known to locals and visitors alike as the best in the region, serves meals in the spacious and airy main dining room or on the poolside deck overlooking the water. Groups can also have meals on the expansive second-story deck of the main resort above the dining room. Executive Chef Larry Nicola�s New Belize-inspired fare showcases local seasonal Belizean ingredients and traditional recipes. The chef and his staff are happy to work with groups to develop special menus and meet groups� dietary requirements.

Luba Hati offers a wealth of activities for groups of all sizes. Everything from a sailing and snorkeling expedition, a group kayak tour or a cruise up Monkey River to look for birds and howler monkeys can be arranged directly with Luba Hati. Other group activities include diving expeditions, yoga classes, kayak tours, fishing, bocce ball on the beach and more.

For those who want their friends and family to enjoy the meaning of quality time together, Luba Hati cannot be beat. The resort purposefully does not have in-room phones, clocks or Internet connection, all of which truly enhances the �getaway from it all� feeling. Guests often leave remarking on how relaxed and refreshed they feel after a true stay away and families or wedding parties who choose to take over the property look forward to returning to this magical place again. For groups hosting corporate retreats or small meetings the resort is just the place to get focused and regroup if need be.

Luba Hati is a tropical fourteen-room retreat, nestled on more than 12 acres of unspoiled natural habitat and 400 feet of white sand beach. Visitors will experience fine dining at the Restaurant at Luba Hati, luxury guest accommodations and a host of activities all set in a tranquil haven of casual sophistication on the alluring Caribbean Sea.
