Film buffs and luxury travellers can now step into the world of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola, with a collection of his own Belizean properties now available to rent through Onefinestay.

From a private two-acre island to jungle-top villas and beachfront pavilions, Coppola's five distinct Caribbean properties offer travellers a chance to experience the filmmaker's personal paradise.

The highlight is Coral Caye, a secluded private island just a 25-minute boat ride from the Turtle Inn resort, capable of accommodating up to nine guests across two cottages.

Mountain Pine Ridge Villa sits within a forest reserve, offering guided jungle tours where toucans soar overhead and waterfalls tumble nearby.

For ultimate seclusion, the Enchanted Cottage provides a stone-built retreat designed for creative reflection, perched with dramatic views of the Privassion River waterfalls.

Prices range from £554 to £2,059 per night, with onefinestay's 24/7 concierge team ready to fulfil even the most extravagant requests.
