Ocean View Three Bedroom Villa - Prana Maya Island Resort

About Prana Maya Island Resort

Prana Maya Island Resort is an intimate luxury retreat set on five acres of a private, mangrove-fringed island — Placencia Caye — just off the coast of southern Belize. Opened in 2025, the resort pairs ten oceanfront suites at The Inn with seven multi-bedroom villas, each framed by panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the island lagoon. Eco-conscious design, indigenous woodwork, and handcrafted Belizean art run throughout, creating a serene, wellness-centered sanctuary that feels wholly at one with its surroundings. As the first resort in Belize welcomed into Relais & Châteaux, Prana Maya offers a rare blend of barefoot luxury, personalized service, and authentic sense of place.

The resort experience & amenities

Life on the island moves at your pace. Dine at The Grove on Belizean-influenced cuisine sustainably sourced from land and sea, and unwind over inventive cocktails at The Breeze Bar. The Island Club is headquarters for watersports and pickleball and the gathering place for afternoon beverages and light fare. Restore at The Spa at Prana Maya with therapies for mind, body, and spirit, or begin the morning with yoga and sound baths on the Yoga Terrace. Days are yours to fill — snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding right off the island; fly and deep-sea fishing with The High Adventure Company; and concierge-curated excursions to the Belize Barrier Reef, ancient Maya ruins, jungle ziplines, and hidden caves.

About Belize

Belize is Central America's only English-speaking country, and U.S. dollars are widely accepted — making it one of the easiest Caribbean escapes for travelers from North America. It is home to the Belize Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef system in the Western Hemisphere and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with world-renowned saltwater flats, lush rainforest, and ancient Maya sites. Direct flights arrive from major U.S. and Canadian cities, with easy onward connections south to Placencia.

About Placencia

Prana Maya sits just off the southern tip of the 16-mile Placencia Peninsula, with the colorful village of Placencia only a short boat ride away. Once a sleepy fishing village, Placencia is now the cultural and social heart of the region — a laid-back stretch of boutiques, beachfront bars, cafés, and one of Belize's most beloved beaches. The resort's complimentary piloted boats run to the mainland throughout the day, so the village's Caribbean energy is always within easy reach.

Getting here

Getting to the island is part of the escape. Fly into Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE) near Belize City — a short, direct flight from many U.S. and Canadian cities. From there it is roughly a 35-minute domestic flight to Placencia, or a scenic drive down the peninsula. The resort coordinates the final leg: a brief transfer to the Placencia pier, then a private boat across the lagoon that reaches the island in about five minutes.

Relais & Châteaux

Prana Maya Island Resort is proud to be the first property in Belize welcomed into Relais & Châteaux. Established in 1954, Relais & Châteaux is a global association of 580 hotels and restaurants operated by independent owners — most often families — united by a passion for exceptional hospitality and a deep sense of place. Membership reflects Prana Maya's commitment to thoughtful, personalized service and meaningful connection with guests and community.
