Placencia, the Jewel of Belize
The Placencia Peninsula is one of the most beautiful regions in Belize. Just a short domestic flight away from the Belize International Airport, the Placencia region is home to pristine white sugar sand beaches, with ready access to tranquil turquoise waters and gentle sea breezes. Visitors can soak in the sun, or take guided tours of the nearby rivers and dense mangrove forests, untouched natural areas teeming with colorful tropical birds and other exotic wildlife.
The main village of Placencia is home to around 1500 locals, but this once-tiny fishing hamlet now offers a number of world-class amenities for visitors. Bars and seafood restaurants offer a wide variety of entertainment and local delicacies, and the town boasts many festivals and live concerts. Visitors to Placencia can also take advantage of the superior fishing, snorkeling, and diving on offer in the crystal clear waters, and for the more adventurous, guided trips to spot whale sharks are available in the months of March, April, May and June.
Where to Stay in Placencia
Chabil Mar is the premiere destination for visitors to the Placencia Peninsula. With gorgeous accommodations and five-star guest services, Chabil Mar is the perfect destination for newlyweds, honeymooners, and family vacations. A Chabil Mar shuttle van is available to pick up guests at the Belize International Airport, or a short domestic flight with Tropic Air can be booked through to the Placencia Airstrip.
If you are interested in experiencing a true tropical paradise, do not hesitate to contact the friendly staff at Chabil Mar. The resort has a number of Belize vacation packages on offer that include both lodging and air/ground transportation to Chabil Mar.
