Chabil Mar - Luxury Villas in Placencia, Belize

Placencia Village –"Barefoot Perfect"

Recently GQ Magazine called Placencia Village "a quaint town that seems to have forgotten about mass tourism."

At the tip of a 16–mile peninsula, sits the quaint seaside Village of Placencia. The only place on mainland Belize that offers unspoiled white sand beaches, Plancencia is locally known as "Barefoot Perfect."

Miles of natural sandy beach, a virgin mangrove–fringed lagoon, a wonderland of coral–studded cayes just off-shore, nearby jungle rivers (home to the howler monkey) and pristine rainforests, Garifuna, Creole and Maya cultures and ancient ruins, all within a short tour away, make Placencia the ideal location for the adventure traveler.

Adding to the charm of this traditional fishing village is a host of local eateries, beach bars, art galleries and shops that provide an authentic Belizean experience and while mingling with the locals in this Village of just over 1200 full time residents, experience the day to day life of Belize!

And while it's easy to drift gently into the laid back atmosphere, adventure is always nearby. Like most ideal vacation destinations, location is paramount to a truly unique experience. And Placencia is no exception. Situated on the mainland and located on the Caribbean Sea, Placencia is the doorway to Belize's most sought after activities on land and sea.

As Active as You Want to Be

The unique setting of Placencia provides the perfect blend of activities from flats and deep water fishing to exploring Maya archaeological sites, from world–class diving and snorkeling to a one–of–a–kind 100,000+ acre wildlife preserve–all from one central location.

Or, perhaps a more relaxed stay is in order. Then take a leisurely stroll down the Placencia sidewalk–once called the world's narrowest main street–and follow the curve of the beach where you'll find many of the village's restaurants, art galleries, bakeries and shops. The gently lapping waves of Placencia beach are never far off, where it's easy to find a spot to sit back, relax and enjoy the view.
