Why We Chose the Name Yum Kaax for Our Resort
At Yum Kaax Belize Resort & Residences, our name holds a profound significance that connects us to the rich cultural heritage of Belize and the very land where we are located. “Yum Kaax,” which means “Lord of the Forest” in the ancient Yucatec Maya language, was carefully chosen to reflect our deep respect for the environment and the sacred ground on which our resort is built.
The name honors Yum Kaax, the Maya deity of the forest, wildlife, and agriculture. In Maya mythology, he is revered as the protector of the jungle and the balance between nature and humanity. Just as the Maya people looked to Yum Kaax for guidance in living harmoniously with nature, we are committed to preserving the pristine beauty of the rainforest and promoting sustainable living practices at our eco-resort.
What makes our resort truly special is its location on ancient Maya land. The region surrounding Yum Kaax is steeped in history, once inhabited by the Maya civilization that flourished in Belize centuries ago. The land still whispers stories of this great culture, and we are honored to carry forward their legacy of reverence for the natural world.
By naming our resort Yum Kaax, we are not only paying tribute to the Maya people but also celebrating our connection to the land and its ancient history. Our guests have the unique opportunity to experience the harmony of luxury, culture, and nature, all in a setting that is deeply intertwined with the spirit of the Maya.
At Yum Kaax Belize Resort & Residences, we invite you to immerse yourself in this rich heritage while enjoying the serene beauty and unparalleled experiences that our eco-resort has to offer.
