Two great houses in Placencia, Belize.

The locals call it "barefoot perfect". Sixteen miles of white sand beach stretching from one end of the Placencia Peninsula where it touches the mainland, to the other end, simply known as the "Point". This is where the colorful and laid back village of Placencia rests, at the meeting place between the blue lagoon and the warm Caribbean Sea in a postcard image of tropical beauty.

Placencia village is also where you will find two wonderful places to stay - Blue Garden House, perched on the edge of the large Placencia lagoon, where sunsets take your breath away and you can paddle a kayak right from the house into hidden mangrove waterways that are home to Manatees and other exotic wildlife. 

A short walk to the ocean side of the peninsula is Colibri House, located right on the white sand beach and only steps away from the water.  Both houses offer the perfect place to stay in Placencia and are within easy walking distance of all the village attractions.

Blue Garden House
Right on the water along a small marina, Blue Garden House offers the best of both worlds - your own tropical retreat where brilliant sunsets cast golden light through windows all around the house and capture the sea breeze no matter which way it blows. At the same time, you are just five minutes walk away from the beautiful ocean and white sand beach of Placencia.

Blue Garden House captures the essence of Caribbean-style tropical living with a large living room and kitchen area, two spacious verandas overlooking the water and modern comforts. Click here to learn more...

 

 

Colibri House
Shaded by palm trees and facing the sea, this octagonal open-space bungalow includes one large double bed and a single divan bed, and is perfect for couples or friends seeking the ideal beachfront getaway. 

Relax while swinging in a hammock on its verandah as you enjoy your morning coffee or take an afternoon stroll down the beach. Its handmade wood furniture and Mediterranean ambience offer "European living at a reasonable price". Click here to learn more...

 

Placencia Attractions and Adventures...
What to do in Placencia? Placencia offers a wide diversity of activities to explore and savor, from active and energetic to relaxing and laid back.

Take time to explore the village of Placencia, with its colorful shops, small restaurants, world’s longest sidewalk, and popular beach bars. Be sure to sample Tutti Frutti ice cream at The Point, for world-class Italian gelato with a Belizean flavor twist.

Spin-casting or fly-fishing for such species as permit, tarpon and bonefish is among the best in the world (you can also fish right from the dock at Blue Garden House or take a kayak out to fish for snappers and other species). You can organize half-day or day-long fishing trips for flats fishing or deep-sea fishing with different guides in the village.
