Welcome to the Grove House

Welcome to

the Grove House

Celebrating the wilderness around us, Chef Rahim elevates boutique seasonal dishes into understated splendor at The Grove House, with a strong emphasis on hand-picked, sustainably grown local produce from our on-site 600-acre garden. Think zesty and bright Tahitian limes from the orchards below, the brilliantly balanced bitterness and depth of cacao beans, and the signature spiced base of every savory Belizean dish: vermilion-hued annatto.

Two stories up, The Grove House’s exposed hardwood beams of the bar and lounge steers into the balcony dining area for a relaxed and shaded space that a vacation in Belize’s tropical rainforest demands. Upstairs on the third floor, The Grove House steps into its romanticized rural idyll character with a traditional thatched roof that’s relaxed for breakfast, yet candlelit and romantic for dinner.
