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.

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.
