Maya Alux Beach House - 6BR Beachfront, Pool & Gym

Welcome to Maya Alux Beach House! A 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom beachfront villa with private chef included.

Brand new and built for the ultimate luxury group escape, Maya Alux Beach House is a stunning split-level beachfront retreat that seamlessly blends modern sophistication with tropical warmth. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, custom hand-painted murals, and high-end finishes throughout set the tone from the moment you walk in — this is not your average vacation rental. Whether you're gathering for a family reunion, a milestone celebration, or a group getaway, Maya Alux offers the perfect balance of shared communal spaces and private retreats for everyone in your group.

The main floor centers around a gourmet kitchen with a massive waterfall island and commercial-grade appliances, overlooking a spacious open-plan living and dining area. Fitness enthusiasts will love the private indoor gym, fully equipped with a weight machine, free weights, and yoga mats. Step outside to your private beachfront playground featuring a freshwater pool, a covered beach bar complete with a pizza oven, a king-size beach bed, and an outdoor shower. When you're ready for the best view on the property, head up to the rooftop lounge — a fully furnished open-air living room in the sky with a large sectional sofa, dining table for eight, ceiling fans, and yoga mats for morning stretching as the sun rises over the Caribbean.

The villa is thoughtfully divided between the main residence and a private second-floor apartment, making it ideal for multi-generational groups or those who simply want a little extra space and privacy.

Maya Alux Beach House is managed by Gecko Vacation Rentals.

**CHEF SERVICE**
Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed. Each chef day includes 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared fresh for your group. For example: a 6-night stay includes 3 chef days; an 8-night stay includes 4 chef days. You will only need to reimburse the chef directly for the cost of groceries. Nothing is marked up, and the chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions, and copies of all receipts. Food costs typically run $45–$50 per person per day based on the preset menu. Need the chef more often? Additional chef days can be added for $125 per day.

Grocery stocking service is also included with your stay. There is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive. The chef will purchase your groceries, and you only reimburse the items bought.

(+) Want to take it a step further? Enhance your chef service with our All-Inclusive Food Package for $75 per person per chef service day. The package covers all 3 meals, a fruit bowl, limited non-alcoholic beverages, and one lobster meal (in season) — with no additional grocery reimbursement required. Alcohol packages are also available. Ask our team for full details when booking.

**CONCIERGE SERVICE**
Concierge service is included with your stay. Your dedicated Gecko concierge is available to assist with all pre-arrival arrangements and will reach out after your reservation is confirmed to begin planning your trip.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is one of the country's most beloved destinations — and for good reason. Situated on a stunning 16-mile-long peninsula flanked by the Caribbean Sea on one side and a serene lagoon on the other, Placencia offers the perfect blend of laid-back Caribbean charm and easy access to adventure. Unlike the busier island destinations to the north, Placencia is relaxed, uncrowded, and refreshingly authentic. From here, you're perfectly positioned to explore ancient Mayan ruins, hidden waterfalls, zip lines, cave tubing, world-class snorkeling, and some of the best sportfishing in Central America. Back on the peninsula, you'll find great restaurants, local shops, beachside bars, and the famous Placencia sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!

**GETTING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO THE PROPERTY**
