Imagine this: you wake to the hush of waves, the sun lifts over the Caribbean, and your first coffee is sipped on a balcony kissed by sea breeze. That feeling, calm and unhurried, is Placencia. At Flowers Vacation Rentals, we pair that feeling with space, comfort, and friendly, local hospitality. Barefoot luxury, without the fuss.
Why Placencia works for every traveler
Walkable village with cafés, shops, and beach all close together
Two coasts in one: Caribbean Sea in front, lagoon and mountains behind
Easy adventure: reef, jungle, rivers, and waterfalls within day-trip reach
Real Belizean culture: Garifuna, Mestizo, Maya, and Creole influences
Laid-back vibe that helps you slow down and actually rest
Foodie paradise, from fry jacks to fine dining
Belize gets a lot of love for its food, and Placencia adds its own twist. Start simple with fresh fry jacks and tropical fruit. Break for gelato or a cold Belikin on the beach. End with seafood and craft cocktails under string lights. From casual beachfront grills to date-night restaurants, you are close to it all when you stay with us.
Pro tip: Ask our team for a personalized “eat and repeat” list based on your taste. We will map it so you can stroll, snack, and smile.
Adventures that feel effortless
Placencia is a comfort base with wild edges. Pick your pace.
Snorkel or dive the Belize Barrier Reef. Calm water, bright coral, friendly guides.
Kayak mangroves at sunset. Watch for dolphins and gentle manatees.
Island hop to cays with picnic lunches and shallow sandbars.
Jungle day trips to Cockscomb Basin for waterfalls and wildlife.
Zipline or river-tube for a burst of fun between beach naps.

Placencia Sidewalk Arts & Music Festival, local art, live performances, good vibes
September Celebrations across Belize, including Independence Day on September 21 with parades, music, and plenty of national pride felt right here in Placencia
Any week of the year, you will find drumming nights, pop-up markets, and friendly conversation. Our team can point you to the best nights to get a true taste of the village.
Easy ways to get around the Peninsula
The Placencia Peninsula stretches 17 miles long, and Flowers Vacation Rentals has homes, villas, and apartments sprinkled throughout... from Maya Beach to Seine Bight to Placencia Village. Getting around is part of the fun:
Golf cart rentals are popular and breezy
Bicycles keep you moving at a relaxed pace
Taxis and rental cars are always available
Walking is a joy thanks to the famous Placencia Sidewalk, and even bigger news: the Government of Belize is currently extending a new sidewalk from Maya Beach to Placencia Village (progress has already reached Seine Bight).
And here’s the best part: with our Green Season Deals… 20% off stays until November 15, 2025, plus extra savings for last‑minute bookings and longer stays… you can explore every corner of the peninsula at a fraction of the price. Stay longer, see more, and save while you do it.
