A feel-good place that lets every guest experience luxury

From banning single-use plastic to using reef-safe sunscreen, The Placencia is committed to environmental conservation. The Placencia celebrates the beautiful diversity and history of Belize by offering unparalleled excursions. Philanthropy is a founding value: For every night a guest stays at The Placencia or another Muy’Ono Resort, a donation is made to a local charitable organization.  The beneficiary organizations are different for each resort and change every month, ensuring that Muy’Ono Resorts help as many organizations as possible throughout the year.  The Placencia’s luxurious on-site pool is one of the largest in the country, with plenty of space for laps or lounging. When you’re ready to explore the surrounding waters, the resort offers complimentary kayak and paddle boards. Bicycles are also free to borrow, and the private beach offers 430 feet of unspoiled access. The fitness center is open 24 hours per day.

Capriccio Restaurant serves all three meals as well as late-night cocktails, all with a generous side of beautiful beach views. Palm Terrace is a great spot to dine beachside with the same menu and a more casual outdoor atmosphere. Guests and locals love the fact that Capriccio is the only air-conditioned restaurant on the peninsula. Here, you’ll have a relaxing and uniquely Belize dining experience, enjoying traditional Italian dishes with a distinctive Belizean touch. Over 70% of the ingredients come directly from the sea or Muy'Ono farms straight to your table, ensuring the highest level of authenticity. The Pier Lounge Restaurant is located over the water with views of the beach and resort. It serves delicious tropical cocktails and light bites throughout the day. Finally, the swim-up Azure Pool Bar serves refreshing drinks and tasty snacks all day. You won’t even have to leave the water to order or enjoy. Be sure to try the resort’s signature drink, the Ginger My Lime.
