About this property

Little Harvest Caye - Your Own Private Island

Your own private custom, high-end island! Only your group and the onsite staff, who have separate detached housing, will be on the island during your stay. This uniquely designed island includes 5 private suites with their own large open air thatch roof bathrooms, specifically laid out to take advantage of the amazing sea, mountain views and the cool trade winds.

Little Harvest Caye is a 1.5 acre private resort island that is located just 3/4 of a mile from the center of Placencia Village which is just a short 5 minute boat ride all in protected smooth waters. The Little Harvest Caye boat stays out on the island along with its captain and is available to take you back and fourth from Placencia based on your schedule. The island is uniquely situated to have panoramic views in all directions of the Maya Mountains, open ocean and Placencia Village.

Little Harvest Caye is a certified Gold Standard Property by the Belize Tourism Board and managed by a highly respected company that manages four exclusive private island and numerous luxury waterfront villas in Placencia.

Little Harvest Caye offers an experience like no other in Belize. During your stay at Little Harvest Caye you have a chef to prepare all your meals (cost of food not included), daily housekeeping along with a boat and captain at your disposal to go any time for dinner, bar hopping, shopping, or taking in the many other sites and attractions of Placencia Village.

Guests of Little Harvest Caye truly have the best of both worlds; the privacy, exclusivity and uniqueness of being on a private island, all the comforts of home (a/c in all bedrooms, wifi, cable tv etc.) and the convenience and ability to take the Little Harvest Caye private boat from the island to the village anytime to enjoy all that Placencia has to offer.

Some resorts talk about being green, Little Harvest Caye is as green as any property can be. Little Harvest Caye is powered by a state of the art 45,000 watt solar system, with a room full of batteries to power the island when the sun is not out making it truly off-grid. The island does have a back-up generator to provide power to the island during extended periods of rain or heavy clouds; its use is not required under normal circumstances and with reasonable use of the air conditioners in each of the bedrooms. A very thoughtful effort went into the building design and details including the latest in LED technology, all butane cooking, water heating and even refrigeration. Efficient DC technology ceiling fans and the extremely efficient and quiet in room solar mini split AC systems truly make it where Little Harvest Caye can satisfy 100% of its electric needs from its solar system.
Placencia itself also is an ideal location to explore all Belize has to offer. In Placencia you have access to both land and sea tours and excursions, most less than 1 hour away. Our concierge will assist in planning and booking your activities to enable you to get the most out of your trip.

Placencia and the area around Little Harvest Caye is home to some of the best saltwater fly fishing for Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon in the world as well as amazing snook, snapper and other fishing literally right off of the island.

Placencia is also known for amazing diving and snorkeling, including an annual visit each year of the amazing and elusive Whale Shark, usully frm March to June.

The Little Harvest Caye concierge can arrange for diving and fishing tours to be picked up and dropped off at the island dock.
Whether you want explore Belize to the fullest or relax by the pool Little Harvest Caye will provide a vacation like no other.

Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia Lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye / San Pedro. Being on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

All international flights coming into Belize land at the Belize City Airport (BZE). Our full time concierge will work with you to arrange transportation from BZE to the property.

Getting from BZE to LHC is easy with 2 options available.

Option 1 is to take a short (approximately 30 minute) local commuter flight from BZE to the Placencia Airstrip where you will be met by the island's staff that will pick you in our custom limo golf cart to take the short 1 minute ride to our marina where the boat will be waiting to take you on the short ride out to the island. Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.

Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the Gecko Marina where the island's staff will be waiting on you to take you in the boat to take you to the island. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to our marina is around 3 hours. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked.

Paradise Island!
This was our family's 2nd stay at Little Harvest Caye, and we're already planning our 3rd! Pictures and words don't do justice to the island, the accommodations and the amazing staff. We felt welcomed from the first minute, and our time flew by. The staff were unfailingly kind and thoughtful, our meals were impeccable, and we never got tired of the island's natural beauty. We passed our days with epic games of cornhole & bocce, swimming, lounging in the many comfortable seating areas, and just enjoying the 360-degree views. It's the trip of a lifetime, and we can't wait to come back!

Little harvest caye
We love love love this little island. I can’t say enough about the staff they are top notch!!! The only negative I have is the parent company does not provide necessary equipment or funds to make necessary repairs. The poor staff struggle no lawn mower, ping pong table put together with duct tape, refrigerator is in disrepair. The cart for luggage has a homemade wood tire on it.

Can't say enough, highly recommend
Still feeling the afterglow of this amazing trip! Let's begin with Evelyn and Heidy, the amazing ladies who managed our reservation - from the start they made every step of the process easy and always followed-up in a timely manner. We had several special requests that they accommodated flawlessly and we really appreciate the amount of coordination it took to make this trip stress free and enjoyable from beginning to end. Once we got to the island we were greeted by the amazing staff - we are blown away by the level of service we received day in and day out. Let's start with Ernesto: every meal was executed perfectly, all special requests were handled with professionalism, and every dish he prepared was beyond delicious. We really want to thank him for all the love he put into everything! Up next is our girl Kendra - so wonderful! She took such great care of us and always had our rooms looking neat and tidy - she's such a hard worker and a lovely person. Next, we have to give a big shoutout to Jorge! Whatever we needed he was our man. Whether it was suggestions about which restaurants to go to or making pina coladas by the pool he was always ready for our next question or request. He really made us feel welcome! Lastly, our valiant ferrymen, Michael and Jazz! It would not have been the same trip without these two - we were always met with the same kindness whether it was 6am or 1am. They really took care of us and we can't thank them enough! Until we meet again!

Host profile image
Property designed, built and managed by Texas couple that have been visiting and building in Placencia since 2001.

On site staff which consist of young Belize couple and chef (all live onsite in very nice separate detached staff house) they are a very friendly, speak great English will and make you feel at home. They are extremely professional and trust worthy.

Why they chose this property

Little Harvest Caye is an island off the Peninsula of Placencia located in heart of some of the best saltwater fly fishing in the world as well as world class diving and snorkeling on the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world. The now fully paved 26 mile Placencia road makes getting on and off the peninsula by car a much more enjoyable and faster experience, thus making access to the rain forest, Mayan ruins, cave tubing and other attractions in the jungle easily accessible or you can just hang on your private island with no worries.

What makes this property unique

On-site staff, daily housekeeping with laundry service, security, chef provided, golf cart on mainland, volleyball pool, kayaks, paddle boards and bikes are all included.
