Imagine a tropical destination that never requires you to board a boat, positioned alongside the Caribbean Sea in a country less than two hours from the United States. That’s the Placencia Peninsula. This thin strip of land stretches a full 16 miles from north to south, though it rarely extends beyond a half-mile in width. The beach is always in reach — along with excursions out to the Belize Barrier Reef, journeys into the interior to explore the wild jungle and the food and culture of the various villages up the coast.
Yet despite all this, Placencia Peninsula — and the town of Placencia Village which is its major cultural and commercial hub — manages to maintain a sleepy and inviting vibe. The tourist industry has developed enough to offer all the comforts and amenities you could want, but the area has yet to lose its rustic charm or become overwhelmed with foreigners and tourist traps. Placencia Village’s main street has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest in the world, and you’re more likely to see people navigating the peninsula in a golf cart than you are to see them in a conventional car.
In other words, it’s the perfect place to unplug and forget about life back home — and the perfect place to attune yourself to that special someone. Fortunately, it’s a philosophy that the locals understand well. Because while Placencia has yet to be overwhelmed by the tourist industry, the area still has a reputation for both its friendly residents and its thoughtful hospitality industry. It’s also a region that’s proud of its ecological tourism. It’s a movement that Belize has been proactive in fostering, so that each new generation can let their love blossom into full bloom here.
The region’s most romantic resort is arguably Chabil Mar. Positioned directly on the beach, this boutique resort is small enough to offer you a personalized Belize honeymoon experience — and our seasoned and knowledgeable local staff can make sure that all the little details fall perfectly into place. Fortunately, you don’t have to do any planning if you don’t want to. Chabil Mar’s Belize honeymoon packages are distinct and varied enough to suit just about any couple — from the outdoor adventurers hoping to venture into the Stann Creek District to the beach bums who would like to spend a full week island hopping. Belize may not be an especially big country, but the opportunities for adventure are huge. Can you imagine a more promising way to begin the adventure called marriage?
