Worlds Leading Sustainable Destination

Destination of the Year 2013-2014




Belize’s regional distinction lures visitors annually.

Travel to the southern coast of Placencia Peninsula and be absorbed by its tranquility and pristine nature, not to mention some of the friendliest people and excellent cultural cuisines.

Annual Visitation on the Rise:
Placencia possesses a unique environment with a combination of an island and village-feel, amidst the backdrop of the forest, where foodies can excite their palates and enjoy a barefooted nightlife…

Is it any-wonder why the Belize Tourism Board awarded Placencia “Destination of the Year 2013-14”?

The spike in visitors can be attributed to many elements in this little “fisherman village.” Experience top attractions, such as: the bar and grills along the beachside, foodie-spots, local crafts, nightlife, snorkeling, diving, deep-sea fishing, river-boating, wildlife tours, or just relaxing.

With its growing popularity, villagers are reporting an almost non-existent “Low Tourist Season”.

One main road, endless possibilities.
From this main paved road, you can access the golden sands leading to beach entertainment. You can savor the unique flavors at the tastiest gelato shop in Belize. Take a stroll from the end of the main road to the “Smallest Street in the World” that is filled with discoveries.

Travel to the Placencia Peninsula and adopt a new way of life… To learn more about planning your perfect vacation, let us help you! Call us toll free at: 1-800-624-0686 or via email: info@travelbelize.org.
