Welcome to Our Placencia Belize Beach Resort

Take Your Time. Experience Slow Living by the Sea.

At Blue Reef Beach, take time to reconnect in a place where nature becomes your playground for discovery and renewal. Let the Caribbean Sea and the natural beauty of the Placencia Peninsula enliven your senses. Indulge in fresh Central American cuisine infused with international flavors at our waterfront restaurant and bar. Invigorating swims in the sea or pool, relaxing massages, and unhurried moments in a beachside hammock will help melt away stress.

Scuba divers and snorkelers will be captivated by the deep walls, diverse coral reefs, and thriving marine life found inside and outside the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—a true diver’s dream. Avid fishing enthusiasts will be equally thrilled by some of the world’s most exceptional in-shore and reef fishing opportunities.

Moor your boat and refuel at our full-service marina. Dine at our restaurant, stay and play on our incredible beachfront, and enjoy the ease of having everything you need in one place. As a true one-stop destination right at the marina, there’s no need to go anywhere else to plan your ultimate voyage.

Our boutique hotel remains intentionally intimate, offering space to relax and explore at your own pace. With just 19 guest suites set along the beach, Blue Reef Beach is ideal for slow mornings, effortless gatherings, the wedding or event of your dreams, or as a central base from which to discover the jewel that is Belize.

Relax and Revive

in Coastal Style

Fall in love with Placencia all over again. Blue Reef Beach is a Placencian classic rebuilt for the modern traveler and adventurer. Once a road less travelled, Placencia was the destination for divers and adventurers, established before the paved road and foreign influences of today. This much loved resort set in six acres of natural beauty has been brought into the community once more, this time as Blue Reef Beach.

Designed with love, every nuance and amenity has been meticulously and aesthetically considered. Your comfort and ease during your precious stay away with us is our priority. In our extensive design process, we prioritized the needs of the discerning traveller, upgrading the guest experience to reflect the desires of those living in the modern world. It's woven through the fabrics and furnishings throughout, and in every interaction you will have with our team.
