Lounging on the beach or snorkeling in the Caribbean Sea? Exploring all things food and cuisine or getting immersed in all things culture? The perfect Belize vacation looks different to every traveler. Luckily though, there are plenty of places in this dually Caribbean and Central American nation where you can opt to do it all or do nothing at all. One such place is a tiny finger of land set in the southern district of Stann Creek. Just 16 miles long, the Placencia Peninsula is a destination within a destination—one that offers plenty of options for both fun and relaxation. And as far as accommodations go, there’s perhaps none as all-encompassing as Sirenian Bay Resort.
