Chabil Mar: The All-Villa Resort To Stay for Luxury and Location in Placencia

by Larry Waight

If you have shopped for precious gems, you know that jewelers like to educate clients, emphasizing the importance of the “4C’s”: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat. These four traits are more than evaluative measures; they determine price, too.
If the $70,000 price differential caused your jaw to drop, you understand how important classification can be, so you won’t be surprised to learn that experts suggest veteran travelers also employ 5 distinct criteria when luxury travel is your objective. “As global wealth expands…the hospitality industry has been forced to redefine both the definition of luxury and its role as a service,” say industry experts. Today, luxury is defined by these 5 Cs: Culture, Cuisine, Curated lodgings, Content, and Customization.

Where to find luxury so close to home, you’ll barely have time to split a bottle of champagne before you touch down? The answer is Belize where a new standard of elegance, borne of the nation’s growing reputation as the Western Hemisphere’s most fascinating vacation hub, can be found. Make your final destination the Placencia peninsula and specifically, Chabil Mar where extravagances are commonplace.

Culture

Did you know that 27% of all international travelers see themselves as sophisticated explorers? Learning new things and exploring new cultures is a primary motivation that determines their destinations, and no Central American country compares to Belize’s cultural and ethnic mix.

By selecting Chabil Mar, guests not only have access to Caribbean delights but towns like Riversdale, Maya Beach, and Seine Bight Village. These destinations are so close to each other along this 16-mile-long peninsula, guests can walk to them all if they don’t want to borrow a resort bicycle. Each town has its own personality and is filled with coffee shops, pubs, boutiques, and cultural venues owned and operated by local Creole, Garifuna, Maya, and Mestizo shopkeepers.

Cuisine

According to researchers at the Culinary Travel Guide website, local sourcing is not just expected by sophisticated travelers but is demanded by luxury travelers with discriminating palates. At Chabil Mar, the master chef is a major reason guests come to this beachside resort. His claim to fame is taking a “modern approach to traditionally inspired Belize culture.” He knows where to find the freshest, tastiest local produce, herbs, meat cuts, and freshly caught seafood and he demands the best. The atmosphere at the resort’s Café Mar? “Chic; elegant,” one guest raved – and there are several other onsite eateries for diners who like to switch up the view.

Curated Accommodations

Robert Mackasek, CEO of Valera Global, likes to say that “Luxury is defined by attention to the details. Meticulous workmanship, sumptuous atmosphere, and discerning good taste.” His words perfectly describe the luxury accommodations guests discover during their Placencia peninsula sojourns at Chabil Mar.

Lush interiors within ocean-facing villas are breathtaking. Each is filled with furnishings crafted of local hardwoods, original art, and artifacts that reflect the essence of Belize elegance. Accommodations are surrounded by greenery and flowers that bring the essence of the tropics indoors. Villas feature every modern amenity high-end guests demand and the size of each lodging offers guests between 925- to 2000-square feet of living space!

“Real-time event or travel programming is a highlight of luxury travel,” declared Co-Star website newsletter staffers. Guests want their itineraries to be coordinated by others. For this reason, travelers flock to carefully curated packages that relieve them of the planning it takes to coordinate the holiday of their dreams. Each Chabil Mar package includes meals, accommodations, local transport to and from the resort, amenities, and itineraries that deliver unique experiences designed for guests of every stripe.

Whether you’re a sports enthusiast, can’t get enough culture, you’re focused on health and wellness, or nature and wildlife are passions, you’ve come to the right place. You won’t be the first traveler who finds that there are way too many options on the Chabil Mar package menu, where money-saving specials are also described should you seek one.
