Placencia

This haven is somewhat of a secret in the Caribbean… Seventeen miles of the most beautiful, vacant, white sandy beaches… Dazzling turquoise blue water, teaming with fish… Cooling trade winds gently caress the palm trees, and white beaches that offer perfect launching grounds for excursions to the myriad of cayes that abound around this little peninsula of paradise…  

Nested between the rainforest draped Maya Mountains and the most spectacular barrier reef in the world is this thin finger of golden sand: Placencia. 

Formerly the site of Mayan civilizations, pirate hideaways, and puritan settlers, its current name comes from the derivation of the colonial Spanish name “Point Pleasant.” Today, this sleepy little village is finally coming into its own. With reliable road access, quality developments, and a great community atmosphere, Placencia might be the piece of paradise you didn’t know you were missing.  

Sailing, diving, snorkeling, fishing, and rain forest hiking aren’t too far away. Or maybe you’ll just be having fun hanging out with friends in this tropical retreat.  

However you choose to spend your time, Placencia could be your perfect new Caribbean home.
