Emerald Blue Villa - Modern 2BR Villa with Rooftop Lounge & Pool

Welcome to Emerald Blue Villa! A 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom modern villa with rooftop and pool.

Emerald Blue is a stylish, brand-new two-bedroom villa in the heart of Placencia Village, combining chic industrial design with high-end comfort. The open-concept living area features polished concrete floors and a unique corrugated metal ceiling balanced by warm wood cabinetry, with a large flat-screen TV flowing seamlessly into a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a large island with bar seating. Both an entrance and rear porch are located on the ground floor, along with a convenient half-bath.

Step outside to your private, sun-drenched pool with vibrant mosaic waterline tiles, bordered by a wooden sun deck with plush lounge chairs. A shaded patio with an outdoor dining table for six and a gas grill makes for the perfect poolside cookout setup, all enclosed by lush green hedges for total privacy. Upstairs, two king suites each open onto private balconies. The primary suite features a spa-like en-suite with double sinks, a shower, and a walk-in closet, while the second king suite's en-suite is finished with marble-style tile, a modern vessel sink, and backlit mirrors.

Ascend to the rooftop for panoramic 360-degree views of the village and the Caribbean Sea in the distance — furnished with a dining table, it's the perfect spot to sunbathe, share an alfresco dinner, or toast the sunset. The beach is just a 2-minute walk away. Located conveniently in Placencia, you are just moments away from the village's best restaurants, beaches, and adventures. Emerald Blue Villa is your perfect home base for a luxurious and unforgettable Belizean escape.
