Placencia is a beautiful island off south-east Belize with many sandy beaches, cerulean waters, all-inclusive resorts, and gently swaying palm trees you could imagine. Some of the most exquisite wildlife inhabit this region, including whale sharks and manatees. The Placencia lagoon is even home to the incredible saltwater crocodile. Alternatively, head to the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary to get a glimpse of the mysterious and elusive jaguar. If you’re more interested to discover Placencia’s culture than its wildlife, you’ll love wandering through the village by foot to explore its quaint cafes and craft shops or making an expedition to its ancient Mayan ruins. We’ll be your guide when you take a look at our suggested things to do on the island. Above all, you’ll get to experience the genuine hospitality and warmth of the locals. Read on for the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Placencia, Belize, that make for great alternatives to your usual chain hotels.
