Belize all Inclusive Resorts 5 star

On one side stretches the Caribbean Sea, the other, a calm lagoon and the Maya Mountains in the distance. Belize Ocean Club sits right between these two sights on the Placencia peninsula, which was named Mexico & Central America’s Leading Beach Destination by the World Travel Awards in 2015. The 4-star resort’s landscaped tropical gardens only add to the scenery. Here, an infinity pool—described as the second largest in Belize—looks out onto the ocean, which stretches along a well-groomed beach just steps from the resort’s luxury suites.

Placencia, Belize: Remote Town Surrounded by Sandy Beaches

Just off the southeastern coast of Belize, the scenic Placencia Peninsula juts into the Caribbean Sea and runs parallel to the mainland for 16 miles. At its southernmost tip, you’ll find the namesake Placencia village, surrounded by pristine beaches, mangrove-filled lagoons, and tropical rainforests. You can explore the unspoiled land while hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or kayaking—all popular pursuits here. Scuba divers flock to the area for renowned diving along the nearby Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest barrier reef in the world. It spans 185 miles and brims with reef sharks, loggerhead turtles, and moray eel.

A day trip north to Dangriga, one of the largest towns in southern Belize, will immerse you in traditional creole, Mestizo, and Mayan culture. Dangriga is the birthplace of punta rock, a lively percussion-heavy musical style with a calypso influence. Ask around town about the few dance clubs where you might catch a live show, or at the very least a cold Belikin beer.
