Known for their natural elegance, comfortable luxury, and exceptional service, Itz’ana Resort & Residences on the Placencia Peninsula also boasts a wonderful year-round lineup of entertainment, activities, and events. One such signature event is the monthly Artisan Market, held among the winding paths and pastoral pool-side garden at the beachside resort.
A carefully curated selection of local vendors presents their products in what is a truly unique shopping experience. Locally made art and crafts, handmade Lionfish jewelry, jungle-sourced organic cacao, and small-batch hair products made from Placencia grown seaweed are just some of the singular and striking offerings you can expect to find at the market. This month’s market promises to be extra special, a Mother’s Day edition! Join Itz’ana Resort on May 14th from 10am to 3 pm for sophisticated shopping and one-of-a-kind finds.

A One-of-a-Kind Experience on the Placencia Peninsula
Browse original paintings, one-of-a-kind clothing and bag designs, custom jewelry, unique handicrafts, pottery, carvings, home décor, and hand-made soaps and lotions. Artisanal consumables such as farm fresh eggs, meats, and cheeses make great gifts that are sure to be used. Local fruit wines or small-batch spirits are an uncommon souvenir. They also pair wonderfully with hand painted glasses or a hand thrown clay mug for a unique present.

From dainty gold designs to subtle sea glass pendants, you’ll see styles for every special lady in your life. Find one-of-a-kind designs in earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Then, spend the day and linger along the beach with a mimosa and freshly baked pastry.
