Farm stay in Xaibe

Built with traditional thatch and natural materials, Mangosteen Cabana offers an immersive stay in the jungle—simple, peaceful, and genuinely close to nature, with a few modern comforts. Wake to birdsong, unwind in a hammock, and slow down on our family-run homestead surrounded by gardens, fruit and spices. Ideal for a border stopover (~30 mins to Mexico) or a quiet retreat. 15–20 mins to Corozal. Includes access to a shared covered kitchen and outdoor bathroom. The space We’re a family-run eco homestead set down a long dirt road, surrounded by jungle and neighbouring farms, with very few people nearby. The land is lush and “jungly”, with plenty growing—papaya, pineapple, calabash, ginger, turmeric, sweet potatoes, peppers, and a mix of herbs and spices (including cinnamon and allspice). You’re welcome to wander the gardens and open spaces, relax in a hammock, and enjoy the rhythms of the homestead. We also keep dogs and cats on site, and we have lots of chickens—so mornings often start with birdsong and farm sounds. If you’re curious, we’re happy to show you around: we offer free farm tours where you can see what we’re growing and learn how our honey is produced. Our handmade products (honey, hot sauce, creams, shampoos) are also available to buy during your stay.
