'Itzana Resort embodies the soul of Belize, where ancient Mayan heritage meets pristine Caribbean coastline in perfect harmony.'
What's Special?
This boutique beachfront sanctuary sits on 100 acres of untouched coastline where the Placencia Lagoon meets the Caribbean Sea. The resort's name "Itzana" means "gift from heaven" in ancient Mayan, reflecting its position on land once considered sacred. Each villa features floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces overlooking either the turquoise sea or mystical lagoon mangroves.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the lagoon-side villas for incredible sunrise views and easier access to the resort's complimentary kayaks for exploring the mangrove channels where manatees and dolphins often appear.
Don't Miss
The nearby Placencia Village's famous "sidewalk" - actually the world's narrowest main street according to Guinness World Records, measuring just 4 feet wide. Take the resort's complimentary bikes to explore this charming fishing village, where colorful wooden houses on stilts line the shore and local fishermen sell the day's catch directly from their boats.
