About Placencia, Belize
Placencia is a laid-back beach destination on the southern Caribbean coast of Belize. Located at the tip of the Placencia Peninsula, it boasts palm-lined beaches, a vibrant lagoon teeming with manatees, dolphins, and wildlife, and close proximity to the Belize Barrier Reef, ideal for world-class snorkeling and diving.
This culturally rich area is also home to Seine Bight, a Garífuna village known for its traditional drumming, dance, and warm hospitality.
Placencia offers the best of both worlds—adventurous inland activities like zip-lining, hiking, cave tubing, exploring Mayan ruins, and visiting waterfalls, as well as sea-based excursions such as island hopping, sailing, and fishing. It’s a quieter, more relaxed alternative to the busier San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.
Getting Here

• Domestic flight to Placencia

Important Things to Know Before Booking
Noise Expectations
This is a home for relaxing and reconnecting with nature—not a party house. Voices carry across the lagoon, so we ask for quiet outdoor volumes and no amplified music after 8 p.m. Please respect our neighbors and enjoy the sounds of the breeze, birds, and jumping fish.
Environmental Sensors
To ensure a safe and healthy space, we use discreet camera-free environmental monitors (no sound or image recording). They track humidity, temperature, smoke, and noise levels. We’ll only notify you if thresholds are exceeded.
Conservation & Local Systems
A/C Use: Please turn off units when not home. Belize has limited power infrastructure, and energy conservation helps prevent outages.
Septic System: Only flush natural waste—no toilet tissue. Covered waste bins are provided and picked up twice a week.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Heather Chance

Our family resides in Seattle, WA and we love all the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We enjoy hiking, camping, backpacking, flora and fauna identification, and snorkeling/diving. We are an easy going and laid back family that loves to travel, explore, and learn about new cultures.
Why they chose this property
Hi! We are the family behind Ophelia’s Villa. Our love for Belize started in 2008 when we (minus our kids) stumbled upon a small country in Central America. We instantly fell in love with Belize during our weeklong stay on the Caribbean Caye (island) of Caye Caulker. The people, culture, hospitality, food, and beauty hooked us... we knew we found a special place.
In 2016 we set our plan in motion to reach our goal to own our slice of paradise in a country we fell hard for. We knew we wanted a home where we could connect to all the things we love about Belize as well as a place to make memories for years to come. We spent a lot of time researching and visiting different areas of Belize to determine the best spot. In 2018 we visited the Placencia Peninsula. The moment we arrived we instantly knew this was the place for us. We originally set out to buy a vacation home but after a lot of searching, we made the decision to buy a lot and build our dream home. We built our custom-designed villa on a beautiful waterfront lot located on the Placencia Lagoon in Maya Beach, a short distance from the vibrant Placencia Village. While we love the beach, it is appx. 300 yards away, we knew the lagoon has something special to offer. We are delighted to have a home for our family and friends to spend time at, connect, and make memories. Our daughters are quickly developing their own adventurous spirit and enjoy all Belize has to offer. We wish you a memorable visit to Belize filled with adventure, relaxation, and connection.
What makes this property unique
Placencia is a gorgeous emerald peninsula in southern Belize with 16 miles of sandy beaches. The Caribbean Sea is to the east and the charming Placencia lagoon lies to the west looking towards the Maya Mountains on the mainland. The busy part of Placencia lies in the south where visitors will find the greater concentration of coffee shops, bistros, the harbor, guest houses, banks, and local restaurants. Placencia Village, a Creole village is at the southern tip of the peninsula. A long concrete sidewalk runs up the center of the village. The 16 miles or so of beaches on the peninsula are beautiful and offer toast-colored sand. Our villa is located in Maya Beach and is a small and quiet beach community on the Placencia peninsula that consists of a long, clean strip of sand, beach loungers, wooden docks jutting out over the sea, and hammocks strung between palm trees. Visitors who come here do so to relax, sunbathe, and dine on fresh seafood at one of the beachfront restaurants. Out of the three beach towns on the Placencia peninsula, Maya Beach is the most serene. The drive to the vibrant Placencia Village is a short car ride from Maya Beach.
