Ask a local, a returning traveler, or anyone lucky enough to have spent a few days in this coastal paradise, and they’ll tell you: Placencia isn’t just a beach town—it’s the beach town in Belize. From its laid-back rhythm to its picture-perfect coastline, Placencia blends everything you want in a tropical destination into one colorful, welcoming village.
And when you stay at Chabil Mar Villas Boutique Guest Exclusive Resort, you get the best seat in the house to enjoy it all.
Miles of Real, Walkable Beach
Not all beach towns in Belize are created equal when it comes to sand. Some cayes and coastal spots are beautiful but have limited beachfront or mostly seawalls. Placencia, on the other hand, delivers the goods—16 miles of soft, golden shoreline stretching along the peninsula, perfect for barefoot strolls, sunbathing, or lazy afternoons under a palm tree.
Better yet, the beach here is wide and open, not crowded or overbuilt. You can find your own patch of sand without fighting for space, and the water is calm and swimmable almost year-round. For beach lovers, it’s paradise—pure and simple.
A Village With Soul and Flavor
What makes Placencia stand out isn’t just its beaches—it’s the vibrant community that comes with them. This isn’t a sleepy town built only for tourists. It’s a real, working village full of artists, chefs, musicians, and friendly locals who make you feel like you belong.
The famous Placencia Sidewalk—narrow, colorful, and full of personality—is lined with art galleries, juice bars, seafood shacks, and boutique shops. Want a fresh coconut? A handmade hammock? A live drum performance? It’s all right there, within walking distance.
And then there’s the food. Placencia’s culinary scene punches well above its weight, with everything from beachfront BBQ and Creole classics to upscale seafood and global fusion cuisine.
Easy Access to Reef, Jungle, and Everything In Between
Placencia’s unique location at the tip of a long, narrow peninsula means it’s perfectly positioned for adventure. You’re just a boat ride away from the Belize Barrier Reef and islands like the Silk Cayes, making snorkeling and diving easily accessible.
At the same time, Placencia is your launchpad to inland adventures—exploring Maya ruins, trekking in Cockscomb Basin, or ziplining through the jungle are all within reach. You don’t have to choose between reef and rainforest—you get both.
Why Chabil Mar Is Your Placencia Home Base
To truly enjoy Placencia at its best, you need a place that reflects its charm, warmth, and beauty. Chabil Mar Villas Boutique Guest Exclusive Resort offers just that. Our villas are tucked along the beach in a lush, garden-lined setting, just a short walk or bike ride from the village center.
Here, you get the privacy of your own beachfront villa, the comfort of luxury amenities, and the personal touch of a team that knows how to make every guest feel like family.
