Island Getaway
Belize Experiences
Prana Maya offers the privacy of an island stay without putting Belize out of reach. Placencia Village sits just across the water, the reef lies offshore, and rainforest, rivers, Maya sites, and mountain landscapes are all within a day’s exploration.

Placencia Village
Just across the water from Prana Maya, Placencia Village is the cultural and social heart of the peninsula. Once a quiet fishing community, it remains easygoing and distinctly local, with small restaurants, beach bars, galleries, shops, and daily life unfolding along the shore.
