South Gull - 5 Bedroom Beachfront Villa w/ Large Pool & Staff
Outdoor living takes center stage at South Gull Villa. Designed to capitalize on the private ocean views and pleasant tropical temperatures, the focal point of this property is the spacious patio and pool deck. Featuring a large outdoor kitchen and comfortable, covered seating area, it is the ideal spot for alfresco dining and entertaining the friends and family. The large swimming pool enjoys unobstructed sunshine much of the day and is mere steps away from the sea. The villa’s interior is perfect for large families or groups of friends to share with enough space for everyone to feel at home. The charming design elements, including exposed beam ceilings and rich wood accents, enhance the villa's warm, inviting atmosphere.
This home offers the privacy and comfort of a personal retreat, complemented by high-end resort amenities. With dedicated on-site caretakers who live in their separate quarters on the property, you will enjoy daily maid service, impeccably kept grounds, and a professional chef available to prepare meals three times a week, allowing you to indulge without any hassle. Fully air-conditioned and equipped with high-end appliances, South Gull Villa provides all the modern comforts you’d expect from a custom-built home. Spend your days relaxing in a hammock, lounging by the pool with a refreshing drink, or exploring the ocean on one of the provided paddle boards or kayaks.
Situated along a quiet and secluded stretch of the northern end of the peninsula, the villa offers a serene beach setting while being just minutes away from fine dining and luxury resorts. It’s a quick 10-minute ride to Maya Beach and only 25 minutes to Placencia Village, accessible via the included 6-seat gas golf cart.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is the second most popular tourist destination in the country. It is situated on a 16-mile-long peninsula that is surrounded by a 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 inland, Placencia provides easy access to many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, ziplining and cave tubing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops, bars and the famous Placencia Sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!
