Feel like you’ve gotten your fill of sand and sea for a while? We get it. A change of scenery is always great, even when it comes to vacation. Luckily we’ve got just the destination for you—though it may come as a surprise. Here’s why you should head to the Placencia Peninsula’s Umaya Resort & Adventures for a different kind of Belize vacation.
A Different Kind of Waterfront View

It’s true. Belize’s Placencia Peninsula is known for its beautiful beaches. From Riversdale right down to Placencia Village, the golden sands of the 16-mile stretch of land are beloved by travelers near and far. But Placencia offers far more than just beach days and adventures at sea. After all, the Peninsula is bordered by a vast and tranquil lagoon, too. And beyond that, Belize’s Maya Mountains beckon to anyone craving a healthy dose of all things green. Found in the Maya Beach area of the Peninsula, Umaya Resort offers its guests spectacular views of both—and much, much more. With one-half of the resort facing the Caribbean Sea and the other half facing the Placencia Resort, Umaya is a true reflection of Belize’s duality.

On the lagoon side of things, Umaya’s Restaurante Laguna offers waterfront dining to anyone in search of charming and unique settings. Savor delectable dishes with the tranquil lagoon in plain view. And in the evening time, marvel at the sight of the sun setting behind rolling mountains. The resort even has a lagoon-side deck that is perfect for intimate, private dinners overlooking the water.
And When You’re Craving the Sea

When you do start craving some sand and sunshine, rest easy knowing that the beach is just steps away. Take advantage of the many shaded hammocks and loungers dotting the property. Or, grab a kayak or paddleboard and head out to sea. Plus, be sure to stop by Fyah Beach Bar, the perfect setting for making new connections.
No matter your travel tastes, Umaya promises the best of both worlds on the Placencia Peninsula.
