Golden Sands Villa | 1BR Beachfront Getaway

Stay in a place where adventure meets relaxation. The Placencia offers the best of Belize with all the comforts of home. Nestled on Maya Beach, the resort is just a short ride away from Placencia Village, where you can enjoy beach bars and local shopping.

Step outside to unwind on the white sand beach. Spend the day at the beach and work on your tan with sun loungers (chaise lounges) or relax in the shade with umbrellas. At The Placencia Resort, pamper yourself with a treatment at the full-service spa or have fun in the sun with activities like kayaking and volleyball. Guests can unwind with a drink at one of the resort's three bars.

The Placencia Resort provides the amenities of a resort coupled with exhilarating adventures that can be enjoyed by couples, friends and families. The resort boasts one of the largest pools in Belize and a beautiful private beach. Take a dip or simply lay by the pool for a perfect day of relaxing. Utilize the complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, and other beach toys for a day of fun in the sun.

When you're ready to see more of Belize, our concierge is ready to assist! The Placencia is perfectly situated for easy access to jungle adventures, ancient Maya sites, and ocean adventures (don't forget about the fishing!). We offer every bucket list activity you can think of!
