Location: Placencia, Belize, Caribbean (2 Miles South of Placencia Airport Within Placencia Village)

Accommodations:  House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)

Paradise found in laid back fishing village of Placencia, Belize. Feel the soothing sea breezes as you sip your rum punch from your shady tile floored veranda. Watch the colorful sunsets and distant mountain storms from your lookout tower. Relax for your afternoon nap in a hammock overlooking the lagoon or in the comfort of your air-conditioned bedroom.

Rental cars are available but unnecessary as you are within walking/bicycling distance of groceries, airport, shopping, the beach, various tour agencies, and restaurants. Snorkeling, diving, or fishing tours to the incredible undersea world are available daily, weather permitting. You can buy fresh fish and local produce and create your own gourmet meal in your fully equipped kitchen.

Stroll along the beach at sunrise and if you are lucky you may see dolphins frolic in the calm Bay of Honduras. Take breakfast in one of the beachside restaurants while visiting with the locals. Dance the evening away to local music at a beachfront gathering.

Belize is a friendly, English speaking country with British, Caribbean, and Mayan Indian influence. Placencia is a town of a few hundred people on a peninsula of the best beaches in Belize, just a few miles from the Great Barrier Reef. Most people are Creole, Hispanic or Central American with a fairly large group of U.S. expatriates along with Canadians, Europeans, and world travelers in general. Safety should not be a concern as Belizians love visitors to their country and are a treasure in themselves. You will find yourself settling into their leisure island time quickly. And when you get back home you may find it hard to adapt!

  • Loved the Arches and Placencia. The Arches is on the main street on the north end of town within easy walking distance of everything in the village out of the busy and crowded area. Everything in Placencia is accessed from the main street and the sidewalk. The house is very comfortable with rich native woodwork, floors and furnishings. The decor reflects Placencia and Belize. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking fresh seafood and vegetables or making smoothies with the abundant fruit. The tower gives you a great view of both the lagoon sunsets and the ocean sunrises. While not on the beach, it is an easy walk across the road to nice beach access. The property owners and manager willingly supply information in order to make your stay enjoyable from lovely flowers on your arrival to recommendations for outfitters, bread and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay at The Arches and highly recommend it.
