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.

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 one of the Gecko Properties staff and taken directly to your villa. 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 villa. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to the villa is around 2.5 hours. The roads are all paved and a good portion of the drive is on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway that goes through the Maya Mountains. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked
Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the villa yourself.
