Alberta is Canada's favorite year-round resort destination and is the perfect escape, with UNESCO World Heritage sites, magnificent natural beauty, and tons of options for outdoor adventures! In the heart of Banff National Park you'll find the world-famous Fairmont Banff Springs, and in Jasper National Park you'll find the premier Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, two unforgettable destinations in Alberta. Both of these luxury resorts put you in ideal locations for exceptional fishing experiences!

For more than a century, 'The Castle in the Rockies' has been providing rugged elegance in the heart of Banff National Park. The discovery of hot springs in the area led to the creation of Banff, Canada's first national park. Within this setting, the Banff Springs hotel offers stunning vistas, exceptional regional cuisine, the award-winning European-style Willow Stream Spa, and impeccable service for an unforgettable retreat. Fairmont Banff Springs boasts year-round luxury, including a wealth of exciting activities for all seasons such as a championship golf course during the summer, unparalleled skiing in the winter, hiking, a 27-hole championship golf course, river rafting, horseback riding, downhill and cross-country skiing, dog sledding, snowshoeing, and skating.

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is your luxury basecamp in the True North Rockies. Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a 700 acre year-round luxury mountain resort which wraps around the shores of the pristine lake "Lac Beauvert" and Canada's top-rated Golf Resort Course. The resort's charming village of cedar chalets, all connected by picturesque paths, offer guests unique access to explore the natural environment of the hotel. Enjoy a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities in Jasper, Alberta including golf, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding and mountain biking in the summer and ice skating, snowshoeing and skiing in the winter. After an active day outdoors, rejuvenate with a signature treatment at the luxurious Fairmont Spa, inspired by the energy and beauty of Jasper National Park.

While awe-inspiring scenes like sparkling lakes, mountain sunsets, and roaring rivers might be what people first think when they imagine a trip to this Rocky Mountain paradise, fishing here has always been a way to explore, reconnect, and be inspired in nature. This skillfully guided fishing excursion provides excellent angling experiences for the novice and expert alike. Enjoy every moment of your daytime adventure out on the water while you fish for trophy size Lake Trout, as you're surrounded by some of the country's most spectacular scenery.

Offering the perfect mix of nature and eco-luxury, exquisite wild beauty and countless outdoor adventures, a Valley Stream experience will be anything but ordinary! This truly amazing experience takes you over the breathtaking Maya Mountains and pristine rainforest on a hill overlooking Valley Stream's abundant citrus orchard and valley. Once you arrive, you can indulge in an array of thrilling and pampering activities, savor the tastes of a menu that is yours to design, and take advantage of this ideal rainforest location by dividing your time between the jungle and the beach!

Turn off the Hummingbird Highway and pass through the large gates at the entrance to Valley Stream and enter your own private two hundred acre sanctuary. The approximate 1.5 mile drive through a meticulously manicured working citrus orchard and beautiful rainforest ensures maximum privacy, and that the only sounds you will hear are those of the jungle and waterfall! While there are no neighbors, there are plenty of parrots, toucans and other jungle animals to keep you company, and the staff is only a call away to cater to your every need.

Perched high over a gently flowing stream and next to a postcard waterfall, the luxurious 5,000-square foot Valley Stream Jungle House blends in with nature and the surrounding beauty. From the minute you walk across the bridge through the front door you are greeted with amazing views of the surrounding Maya Mountains and the stream below. The soaring 30-foot high ceilings made from native thatch and rich Belizean hardwood floors make the views inside as amazing as the view outside. The all-rock pool and hot tub perched over the cliff's edge make for the ideal spot to relax and take in the amazing sights and sounds of the rainforest. The home has two beautiful private master suites located on the first floor, as well as a large study with a full bath that could also be used as a kids bedroom. While the home has air conditioning in both master suites and all the comforts of a true five-star resort, it efficiently operates 100% from the high end solar system located a few hundred yards away in the staff area.

Enjoy a candlelit romantic dinner on the palapa over the waterfall, poolside under the stars or in the amazing dining room. Organically grown produce fresh from Valley Stream's large organic greenhouse and garden, fresh locally sourced meats, and dishes accompanied by the curated wine collection ensure that dining reaches new heights at Valley Stream. The concierge and in-house professionally trained chef will work with you prior to your arrival to create a custom menu unique to each guest's tastes and desires.

Boredom is impossible in a destination like this! Just a short drive from Valley Stream are some of Belize's most pristine sites and adventures such as cave tubing, zip lining, river kayaking, waterfall rappelling and exploring Mayan ruins! Your personal concierge can assist with arranging any tours and activities you wish. Enjoy onsite activities as well, such as facials, manicures and pedicures, massage treatments, four-wheel ATV rides, mountain bikes, poolside lounging, cocktails by the river, hiking on your own private trails and more! Its perfect rainforest location means you can watch the amazing birds that call Valley Stream home, swim in the crystal clear cool river or pick your own oranges right from one of the trees in the private orchard. After an adventurous day relax and enjoy the spectacular view in the hot tub or pool with a cocktail in hand and listen as the jungle comes alive. Your hosts will customize your experience at Valley Stream to be as relaxing or as adventurous as you desire.
