Little Harvest Caye - Your Own Private Island
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 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.
