Nestled in southern Belize, Itz'ana stands as a leader in the community by harmoniously blending environmental stewardship with social responsibility. In honor of Earth Month, we're sharing how we prioritize conscious initiatives at Itz'ana Resort. 

Thoughtfully-Designed 

Embracing sustainable luxury, Itza'na is passionately committed to honoring the environment by tapping into local materials, minimizing waste, and supporting conservation endeavors. Impeccably designed, the resort's architecture marries the time-tested elegance of Caribbean designs with ecologically conscious practices.

Conscious Gastronomy 

Itza'na has forged strong and symbiotic relationships with local farmers and fishermen to deliver an unparalleled farm-to-table culinary experience, showcasing the very best of what our community and culture have to offer. With the aid of sustainable fishing practices, Itz'ana refrains from overfishing and instead uses a conscientious resource management system that acknowledges the relationships within the marine ecosystem.  

Supporting our Community: Seine Bight 

At Itz'ana, we have been dedicated to collaborating with our community Seine Bight. With immense passion, we forge strong partnerships with educational and law enforcement institutions that endorse mindful pursuits and kindle harmony and advancement within the community.   

Additionally, to preserve the stunning coastlines of Seine Bight Village, Itz'ana has embarked on several community cleanups by partnering with organizations such as 4Ocean, an ocean cleanup company, and Maverick a global network of entrepreneurs creating worldwide impact.

We wholeheartedly pledge to create positive change within our community, to assume the mantle of agents of transformation, and to ardently engage in social and environmental initiatives that amplify our commitment to a brighter future for all.

The Artisan Market 

On the first Sunday of every month, our resort partners with Market on the Go Belize to host the Itz'ana Artisan Market. Welcoming both visitors and vendors alike, free of charge, the market brings together an extraordinary curation of local brands and offerings, allowing for an incredible opportunity to connect with local artisans, and most crucially, support local commerce. 

Supporting The Local Soccer Team  

Itz'ana Resort has recently committed to sponsoring Seine Bight's female soccer team, Seine Bight Christ Warriors. Our financial sponsorship has provided the team with the necessary resources to make it to the championship. We are thrilled to witness our community's incredible talent being showcased for all!

With access to our, Itz'ana Marina, we are proud to bolster the potential of our young community through an unwavering commitment to local excellence. 

Conserving Our Marine Environment 

At Itz'ana, we are dedicated to the protection and preservation of our oceans and have long recognized the imperative for our beach resort to coexist harmoniously with the marine ecosystem. As a sanctuary amidst the majestic splendor of the Caribbean Sea, we have a profound reverence for the wondrous marine creatures that call our turquoise waters home. Through our support to Jamal Galves, from Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute, Itz'ana has helped protect manatees and their habitats.

With a commitment to youth and the environment, we are also proud to have sponsored and hosted the Marine Conservation Camp in conjunction with Jamal Galves. Our dedication to marine conservation is unwavering, and we are committed to inspiring the next generation of conservationists.
