Belize’s Placencia Peninsula is renowned for a peaceful and quiet atmosphere that makes days on its pristine beaches all the more enjoyable. For persons seeking to refresh and hit the reset button, that might come as glorious news. With soft sands and twisting palm trees, Placencia invites visitors to leave their perturbations behind as they stroll barefoot along the country’s longest stretch of coastline. And at Naïa Resort and Spa, that invitation is practically irresistible. Nestled inside the private 224-acre CocoPlum Community, this luxe Belize resort beckons to world-weary travelers, promising complete immersion in seclusion, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

Barefoot Perfect: two words often used to describe the small village of Placencia and the 18 miles of beach running along its coast. With a laid-back atmosphere and welcoming residents, it’s much more than just the perfect base for offshore and inland adventures. Quaint restaurants with sandy floors populate the central road. And along the Placencia sidewalk, once named the world’s narrowest main street, colorful wooden buildings line both sides. Meanwhile, just a few steps away, the white sand beach sits beside the gentle Caribbean sea.
