The Gecko Difference: Why These Luxury Vacation Rentals Make for the Ultimate Getaway

by Khaila Gentle

A 5,000 square foot sanctuary in the heart of the rainforest; waterfront villas fit for epic group vacations; and far-flung private islands as exclusive as they are intimate: at first glance, it’s easy to see why Gecko Vacation Rentals has captured the attention of everyone from Elite Traveler to GQ Magazine. According to the Placencia-based company, however, the allure of their properties goes far beyond just one-of-a-kind settings. When it comes to helping travelers realize their ultimate luxury vacation dreams, it’s the Gecko Difference” that makes their villas, islands, and jungle retreats more than just rentals. 

Here’s what you need to know about this collection of luxury vacation rentals, including how you can save on your next idyllic escape to Belize. 

Your 5-Star Getaway Awaits 

Little Harvest Caye

From the uber-secluded Gladden Caye to the picturesque Valley Stream, when it comes to Gecko Vacations, the range of luxury properties to choose from is perhaps as diverse as Belize itself. For the traveler craving the ultimate isolation, choose from 4 private islands found off of the country’s Southern coast – each boasting its own unique appeal. 

While The Enclave on tiny Placencia Caye is perfect for grand group trips and lies a stone’s throw away from all the action on the Placencia Peninsula, Gladden Caye is a secluded bolt-hole outfitted with just one villa. Meanwhile, Little Harvest Caye and Kanu Private Island, both high-end islands in their own right,  were uniquely designed with groups of intrepid travelers in mind. 

On the mainland, a handful of waterfront villas and condos beckon to anyone who has their sights set on exploring the Placencia Peninsula. That includes the Kairos Villa, a beautiful beachfront home in the Maya Beach area.  And for those hoping to get acquainted with Belize’s verdant interior, Valley Stream Private Eden does a fine job of embodying its namesake.
