Breezy Caribbean Resort with Eco-Tours and Private Island

Near the tiny fishing town of Monkey Village, the howler monkeys' low, throaty growl can be heard for up to 3 miles through mangrove forests and across lagoon waters. Along The Placencia's 12-mile-long Monkey River Tour you might even spot one of the dark-brown primates–thought to be the loudest land animal– swinging by its tail in the forest canopy overhead. The Monkey River Tour, like many of the eco-tours hosted by The Placencia, brings you face-to-face with the exotic wildlife and sprawling forests of Belize. Set in a 6,500-acre gated community, the resort presents a striking contrast to its untamed jungle surroundings with upscale amenities and a stretch of idyllic beaches along the Caribbean Sea.

Master suites and sea-view villas boast jacuzzi tubs and views of the ocean. A short water-taxi ride away, the hotel’s 15-acre private island provides a secluded spot to sunbathe, snorkel, or carve coconut cell phones.

In addition to the swim-up Pool Bar and Lounge at the hotel’s infinity pool, the resort offers three onsite restaurants. At Capriccio, chefs spice up traditional Italian dishes with Belizean creole recipes and vegetables, herbs, and organic fruits harvested from The Placencia's own garden. From the restaurant's 9,000-bottle cellar, you'll have no trouble finding a glass of white that pairs perfectly with a sautéed fillet of local, fresh-caught fish.

Placencia, Belize: Resort Town in an Unspoiled Forest

Belize has designated more than 40% of the country as protected parks and wildlife reserves. This unspoiled land presents opportunities for a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and diving. Along the coast, the Belize Barrier Reef, the longest reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second largest in the world, spans 185 miles and brims with reef sharks, loggerhead turtles, and moray eels.

A day trip to Dangriga, the second-largest town in southern Belize and about 90 minutes north of Placencia, will help to demystify traditional Creole, Mestizo, and Mayan cultures. Dangriga is the birthplace of punta rock, a lively percussion-heavy musical style with some calypso influence. Ask around town about the few dance clubs where you might catch a live show, or at the very least, a cold Belikin beer. Because the official language of the country is English, you'll have no problem communicating along the way.

Our Recommendations for Your Getaway

  • Above Grounds Coffee

    This treehouse-like coffee shop would be hidden by the surrounding palms if not for its bright yellow exterior and the smell of fresh java wafting out the windows.

  • Rumfish y vino

    A second-story patio overlooks a cricket field at this gastrobar with a full bar featuring local draft beers and Belizean tapas.

  • Gladden Spit

    Attracted by the snappers that come to lay eggs, enormous whale sharks—some as long as 60 feet—gather at this coastal marine reserve to eat.

  • Town of Dangriga

    The second-largest town in southern Belize rewards those who visit its cultural museums and wildlife sanctuaries filled with chirping scarlet macaws.
