Placencia is an altogether outstanding choice for a vacation destination. Situated in the southern part of Belize, it is a coastal village surrounded by the crystalline Caribbean Sea and placid Placencia Lagoon, but connected to the mainland by a slim, 16-mile-long peninsula. It is picturesque, unpretentious, and utterly laid-back. Romance meets relaxation meets adventure in this charming little hamlet, making it the perfect place for vacationing couples. Here’s why you and your significant other should plan a trip to Placencia and where you can stay and play while visiting.
Head to Placencia for a Dreamy Couples Getaway
Placencia Village is located at the southern tip of the larger Placencia Peninsula and boasts all the cute and quirky character that you would expect from a tiny beachside town in the Caribbean. Plenty of palm trees, colorful houses, lively beach bars, and hand-painted signs speckle the sandy shores. North of the village you’ll find peace and quiet and easy access to inland adventures such as touring Maya Temples or trekking through caves. Placencia is a best-of-both-worlds location where you can experience sea and mountain, coral reef and jungle canopy, all in one vacation.
Where to Stay on the Peninsula: Chabil Mar Villas
