The luxurious Laru Beya Resort is located on the golden sands of the Placencia Peninsula on Belize’s southern Caribbean coast. Measuring 16 miles from north to south, Placencia is the gateway to the Belize Barrier Reef, a collection of over 1,000 islands split into seven different national parks and marine reserves.
Placencia is the ideal place for a great summer vacation for families, newlyweds, and adventure travelers. On the mainland, you can enjoy hiking through the Cockscomb Basin Nature Reserve (home to some of Central America’s last remaining jaguars living in the wild), take a boat expedition up the well-named Monkey River, or tour mysterious ancient Maya sites like Nim Li Punit and Xunantunich.
Placencia is a relaxed beach community where the main form of transportation is by bicycle or golf cart. The local motto is “Barefoot Perfect,” and the village at the tip of the peninsula holds a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for its tiny “main street”, actually a 4,000-foot long sidewalk measuring barely four feet across.
During the summer, visitors to Placencia can head out into the Caribbean to enjoy “island hopping” by sea kayak, beach barbecues, or relax aboard a sunset cruise. Other popular activities on the islands include scuba diving and snorkeling. The Belize Barrier Reef is a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to hundreds of colorful bird, reptile, mammal, and marine species.
Your luxurious summer vacation begins at Laru Beya, the resort whose name means “beautiful beach” in the Garifuna language. Laru Beya has gorgeous rooms and deluxe suites, all with unobstructed views of the Caribbean just steps away. Laru Beya is home to the Quarterdeck Restaurant, offering three courses of delicious gourmet food daily, including homemade bread, fresh tropical juices, and seafood caught by local fisherman.
Laru Beya also has a quality conference room, a freshwater pool, and a spa that offers reflexology treatments, wraps, body scrubs, facials, and a variety of massage therapies, including hot stone massages. Guests have complimentary use of kayaks, Hobie Cat sailboats, bicycles, and high-speed wireless internet. There’s also a mini-golf course located on the grounds of the resort, a fun way to relax for both children and adults.
