Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia Lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye / San Pedro. Being on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

All international flights coming into Belize land at the Belize City Airport (BZE). Our full time concierge will work with you to arrange transportation from BZE to the property.

Getting from BZE to The Enclave is easy with 2 options available.

Option 1 is to take a short (approximately 30 minute) local commuter flight from BZE to the Placencia Airstrip where you will be met by the island's staff that will pick you in our custom limo golf cart to take the short 1 minute ride to our marina where the boat will be waiting to take you on the short ride out to the island. Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.

Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the Gecko Marina where the island's staff will be waiting on you to take you in the boat to take you to the island. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to our marina is around 3 hours. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked.

We have a large family, and celebrated our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It was hands down the best trip and experience. I highly recommend Enclave - the staff went above and beyond, the location was gorgeous, and we had everything we needed for a stress free trip. I typically like to try new places but I’d rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our trip such a fantastic experience.

The Enclave at Placencia Caye was like a little piece of heaven. The crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches were breathtaking. The lush greenery surrounding the enclave provided a sense of tranquility that was unmatched. It was the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax. I could spend hours just lounging on the beach and reading a book. I absolutely loved our villas! The rooms were so comfortable and well-decorated. Every time I walked in, it felt like I was stepping into a luxurious spa. I could really relax and unwind in such a beautiful space. Several couples in my group were celebrating milestone anniversaries. When we checked in, the rooms had adorable "Happy Anniversary" messages written out with flowers on the beds. It was such a sweet surprise. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. Oz, our concierge, ensured that our group was cared for every step of the way. And let me tell you, Oscar, the chef, was a culinary genius! He cooked up some of the most delicious meals I've ever tasted. One morning, a few guys went fishing and caught some barracuda. Oscar cooked it up for dinner, and it was absolutely delicious! This place was truly a paradise on earth.

Truly a unique property!
Truly a unique property!
We stumbled upon this property while looking for a unique place for a family of 17 to vacation together. It provided each couple with their own private bungalow and one for the teens which gave privacy but allowed us to come together for meals and excursions, along with friends fly games of volleyball, pool, etc. The staff was extraordinarily attentive and provided professional and friendly service. The chef was spectacular and the meals for truly wonderful opportunities to experience some of the best Belizian cuisines. Though there were 17 of us, it never seemed crowded rather the Enclave provided us the opportunity to relax, connect and not worry about a single detail!

From the moment you arrive in Placencia to the moment you board the plane you are treated like a king returning home from a long trip. The level of concierge service provided by the staff is better than anyone could ask for, the island itself is beautiful and peaceful and the city of Placencia is a safe, fun place to hang out and shop around. The staff are accommodating to any request big or small and the chef is very careful to adjust the menu for any dietary restrictions. The alternative meals are just as good, if not better than the main dishes! Everyone there working on the island is happy to see you and goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The island itself is magical with incredible sunsets/sunrises and beautiful flora/fauna everywhere you look. From the iguanas that live on the island to the dolphins that swim by the dock in the mornings, every day is a new experience with something to remember for a lifetime. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone and suggest you book your stay immediately.
