Friar Enrico dal Covolo, S.D.B. knows a thing or two about indulgences as a Catholic scholar and President-Dean of the Vatican’s Pontificium Institutum Altioris Latinitatis, so when he describes the history of indulgences, you can count on his expertise. These original pardons can be traced back to the 11th century and were given out by popes to absolve worshippers of sin, often requiring those being given indulgences to make pilgrimages to Rome and bring along hefty donations.
Even learned scholars have yet to make a connection between these practices and the kind of indulgences we avail ourselves of these days. No pardons or alms required these days to satisfy a desire, craving, or pleasure “without restraint or guilt,” according to Definitions.net, and if you’re in the mood to avail yourself of an indulgent vacation to escape this frigid winter, you don’t have to go to Rome. Belize is warmer, sunnier, closer and you don’t have to learn a foreign language, either.
The resort of your dreams awaits
Manta Island Resort is the destination you dream about but didn’t think you could afford. It’s located on Glover’s Reef, a coral atoll with a most intriguing history of British pirates who indulged their craving for looted treasures in the 17th Century. In place of the primitive campsites built by the Glover Brothers stands a posh resort offering endless sandy beaches, lots of privacy, and an All Inclusive Package that covers every detail of your stay.
When you’re not indulging your desire to roam secluded beaches, find an equal amount of pleasure within a two-bedroom Reef Villa filled with extras that include an open-concept living room and fully-equipped kitchen.
Take your desire for maximum indulgence to the next level by booking the exclusive Reef Villa with plunge pool. This accommodation offers the privacy of your very own plunge pool, you’ll feel like a member of the rich and famous crowd. Further, share the expense of a stay with family members or friends and your budget won’t take a hit.
And speaking of your budget…
No matter which villa you select, you are invited to include a package upgrade add-on that customizes your sojourn, and Manta’s a la carte menu of tours is packed with options. The ultimate indulgences? Spa services and the resort’s yoga deck where practicing yoga positions by the sea delivers a meditative, waterfront experience that has no equal.
Given this largess, you might think that liquidating your stock portfolio would be necessary to afford a short stay at Manta, but by taking advantage of a current special offer, you could qualify for discounts on villas that range between $460 and $560 per night. This offer expires soon, but you can vacation any time there’s availability until December 19, 2025. Sound great? if you’ve encountered an indulgent island getaway offering savings this dramatic, we would love to know about it!
