Ka’ana Resort, Belize
Creative director
Where the adventure beckons, luxury awaits. Nestled deep in the tropical jungle of western Belize, this boutique resort is a mini oasis of taste, personalized service and modern amenities for experience driven travelers. Our approach was to create a basecamp for our modern Hemingway’s with the narrative of history paired with modern luxuries.
