If you think that the Covid-19 pandemic has been stressful, imagine how your restless kids feel after months of missing school and their classmates. Life as they knew it has been jarringly interrupted. Even teens admit to feeling stir crazy.

Your kids need a vacation. So do you. And there’s no safer place to take a family vacation than Belize beach resorts where properties are undertaking extraordinary hygiene and sanitizing precautions so guests return home healthier than they were when they arrived.

Nothing brings a family closer than a vacation, and Belize family vacations at Chabil Mar Resort are exceptional. All inclusive package designed for all ages give every member of your family something to remember. That’s why returning families agree that this is the best family beach resort in Placencia Belize.

Kids have no clue this fun vacation is educational

Help them understand more about diversity while visiting the Village of Placencia Belize, a traditional Belizean fishing village. No biology classes can come close to watching the faces of your kids as they experience the Monkey River Howler Monkey Tour or roam the Cockscomb Jaguar Nature Preserve, the only jaguar reserve on Earth.

Teach your youngsters to snorkel, dive and appreciate marine wildlife at the tranquil inner reef waters where even kids afraid of the water find the area shallow enough to enjoy their experience. Families can also borrow Chabil Mar kayaks from the resort’s inventory or just enjoy the property’s 400 feet of private beach. Belize family vacations give everyone a chance to do something each one loves!

It’s okay to let the kids think that this Chabil Mar vacation was planned just for them, but nothing could be further from the truth. Turn the kids loose to explore the resort while you two grab some private time within the walls of your luxurious villa and then meet the kids at one of the two resort swimming pools for a family dip.

Located in the southern part of Belize, Placencia has some of the world’s most beautiful diving spots. The pristine barrier reef off of its coast has become popular with locals and tourists for its shallow, calm, and warm water. Placencia is a short plane ride from Belize City, making it an ideal winter getaway, honeymoon location, or spring break destination for world-class diving at any level.

With year-round temperatures averaging 80 degrees, anytime is a good time to go diving in Placencia. The most popular time of the year is between April and June. This is the peak period when the whale shark, the ocean’s largest fish, migrates to Belize. Divers flock to Gladden Spit Marine Reserve, a small island near Placencia, to swim with these gentle creatures as they display their unique feeding habits.

October and November are the best times to view groupers as they descend on the area by the thousands for mating. The wet season in Belize extends from August to October. The daily rain showers last only a few hours and allow you to dive without the crowds seen during the more popular months. November to July is the dry season in Belize, offering great water visibility and little to no rain to impede your diving experience.

Most of the diving in Placencia at the barrier reef is approximately a 30-minute boat ride from the coast. The inner reef is characterized by a series of shallow coral channels and mazes, excellent visibility, and no current. The area is ideal for beginning divers working on their certifications or for experienced divers looking to hone their skills.

The water is typically less than 80 feet deep and is home to a variety of sea life. Divers may see manta rays, mantis shrimp, barracudas, and stingrays, some of which are recently spawned and are spending their juvenile stages on the reef. On the boat ride to the reef, you may spot manatees and dolphins. One of the most popular dive locations for beginners is the Laughing Bird Caye National Park with its wide variety of ray species.

The outer reef provides the more advanced divers the opportunity to explore deep underwater canyons and experience jaw-dropping dropoffs. On your dive around one of over 40 outer reef islands, you may spot sea turtles, lobsters, and moray eels. Silk Caye and Tarpon Caye are popular dive locations on the outer reef.

Chabil Mar Resort is located in the village of Placencia. Our luxury beach-front property offers access to some of the best diving adventures in the area. You can choose from several of the resorts’ dive packages that include reef diving, inland adventures, or exploring the village center.

Chabil Mar also offers packages for stays up to seven nights and can accommodate couples, families, or large groups. Diving trips may include Glovers Reef Atoll, South Water Caye, and Gladden Spit. After a full day of diving, your package will include meals of your choice in Placencia Village or at the resort, and you will have access to all of the amenities such as the infinity pools, bikes, and kayaks.

If you’re close to someone suffering from Triaphilia (superstitious people always expecting a third negative to strike after two occur), help them think more positively about the number tree by suggesting they become immersed in sun, surf, and serenity. All three are found in abundance by flying less than three hours south from southern U.S. hubs to Belize where three could fast become your lucky number.

Placencia, Belize and you

Choose a vacation elsewhere in Central America and your airplane flight might be longer, not to mention the fact that you could wind up in a nation requiring you to communicate in a language you don’t speak. In Belize, everyone speaks English, and the currency exchange rate couldn’t be easier to master at $1 USD = $2 BZD. That stated, U.S. dollars and plastic are accepted everywhere you go.

Tourists love the entirety of Belize, but today’s hot spot is Placencia, considered the nation’s most idyllic place to sojourn. If you book reservations at Chabil Mar Resort on Placencia, you’ll be ideally situated to enjoy an idyllic stay along the Caribbean coast where access to water sports, shopping and local attractions are a trifecta that make this luxury property stand apart from all others.

Placencia and Chabil Mar: A Match made in heaven

1. Sun. Does it rain in Belize? It does; how else could tropical trees, plants, and flowers flourish year-round in this tropical paradise? When weather gets dark and dreary in North America, September in Belize blesses visitors with 78 hours of sunlight and tourists enjoy an average 161 hours of sunshine in March.
2. Surf. Bring an extra bathing suit and sunscreen so you’re ready to engage in every aquatic activity known to man. Snorkel, scuba dive, kayak, paddle board, fish, sail, swim, and cave tube. Put all of them on your “to-do” list, and Chabil Mar staff can help with your itinerary. After all, the name Chabil Mar is a Mayan language translation of “beautiful sea.”
3. Serenity. Can one Placencia resort deliver on bliss? If that resort happens to be Chabil Mar, the answer is a resounding yes. You’re invited to view this Vimeo for a taste of the lush grounds, sea-facing villas, pristine beaches, and environment that offers rest and relaxation to the weariest traveler amid luxury beyond compare.
