Cozy 2‑Bedroom Retreat with AC in San Ignacio
Welcome to Casa Maruka, your small inland escape in Belize’s Cayo District. This recently renovated home blends modern comfort with tropical charm, making it the perfect base for couples, friends, or small families exploring San Ignacio.
Inside, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms with queen beds, two bathrooms, and a futon in the living room for extra sleeping space. Each room, including the living area, is cooled with individual air‑conditioning units to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
Relax in multiple spaces designed for unwinding: sway in the hammock tucked into the foyer, sip morning coffee on the shaded back veranda, or gather on the upstairs terrace furnished with swing chairs and a large table—ideal for dining, conversation, or stargazing under Belize’s night sky.
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals with local flavors, while practical amenities like complimentary Wi‑Fi, in‑unit laundry, and secure on‑site parking behind a remote‑controlled gate ensure a seamless stay.
Whether you’re seeking quiet moments or lively evenings, Casa Maruka offers a welcoming atmosphere and a central location close to San Ignacio’s markets, restaurants, and Maya sites.

The most clean place I’ve stayed. Very thoughtful amenities and excellent communication by the host. Beautiful and very comfortable home. Close to everything in San Ignacio especially if you have a car.
Home was very clean, and nicely appointed. Everything we needed for cooking our meals was available in the kitchen. The rooftop deck was especially enjoyable & the view is outstanding. Our host, Maria, was attentive & responsive. It was a great home base for all the activities we did in the area. I would highly recommend staying here!
