The Best Resort in Placencia

Placencia is one of the top vacation destinations in Belize. Often called “the island you can walk to,” Placencia is just half a mile wide and 16 miles north to south. Located on the beautiful Caribbean coast of southern Belize, Placencia is home to some of the most beautiful golden sand beaches in a country that is chock full of beaches.

When it comes time to choose from amongst all the Belize beach resorts, visitors need to carefully sort through offerings in order to find the best one. With so many Placencia Belize resorts to choose from, though, deciding can be difficult. Luckily, one resort really stands out head and shoulders above the rest.

A perennial TripAdvisor winner and the winner of multiple hospitality awards, Chabil Mar is located right on the beach just a short, five-minute walk from Placencia Village. Chabil Mar has its own private span of beach as well as two freshwater infinity pools, a lush tropical garden, a private sea pier ideal for open-air dining, and an on-site gourmet restaurant.

At Chabil Mar, service and the comfort of guests always comes first. Chabil Mar has luxuriously appointed villas, each with air conditioning, high-speed wireless internet, and a full range of modern amenities, making it an ideal choice for anyone searching for lodging in Placencia, Belize. Although there are several Placencia Belize hotels nearby, only Chabil Mar is a true oasis of comfort and luxury.

Guests of Chabil Mar can also take advantage of free bicycle and Hobie cat (sailboat) rentals. The resort also offers Belize vacation packages that include transportation, lodging, and guided tours to all of the top destinations in the country for one convenient price. The name “Chabil Mar” means “Beautiful Sea” in the local Mayan language and offers guests far more comfort and privacy than nearby Placencia hotels.

The Placencia Peninsula is located close to a lot of great attractions, including hiking through the vast Cockcomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary (home to more than 200 jaguars!), ancient Maya ruins, and boat tours along the well-named Monkey River. But there’s also lots to see on Placencia itself, including the “capital,” Placencia Village, holder of the Guinness Book of World Records for the smallest “main street,” in reality, a four-foot wide pedestrian-only sidewalk lined with colorful murals, boutique shops, restaurants, and cafes.

For all of your Belize travel needs, book your vacation with Chabil Mar.
