Placencia is currently witnessing huge interest from both foreign and local investors, with the real estate market continuing to appreciate with several large resorts being constructed both North and South of the home.
With expanding tourism in the country, Placencia is set to see price increases for many years, to eventually match property valuations of that seen in other Caribbean destinations.
Tourism in Belize is increasing by over 20% annually, with Placencia being one of the main attractions. The pristine beach peninsula of Placencia is long and narrow paralleling the southern coastline for nearly 12 Miles. It is separated from the mainland by the Placencia Lagoon. From head to foot, its eastern shoreline is embraced with the country's prettiest stretch of beach. The western shore borders the vibrant lagoon and all of its wildlife.
Placencia has in the last several years quickly become Belize's #2 tourist destination. And with the expected continued growth and all that is has to offer, is on track to become the number 1 tourist destination in Belize.
Pavement of the Placencia Road
The residents of the Placencia Peninsula have
something to cheer about. The 26 mile Placencia Peninsula road is now fully paved. This was a 26 million dollar infrastructure improvement that makes traveling to and from the home a much easier task. The completion of the road certainly shows the dedication of Belize to create a premier tourist destination in Placencia.
Unlike any other destination in Belize, Placencia has two different horizons. One unveils a world of magnificent beaches, crystal-clear waters, spectacular diving, and unspoiled islands; the other reveals wildlife, inland adventures, and a skyline of the Maya Mountains. It is a place that is so peaceful you'll never forget it. Many of the visitors return year after year with their family and friends. Placencia is now one of the country's main tourist destinations, and it is also well visited by Belizeans from across the country on local holidays.
Placencia is reachable by land, sea or air. It has its own airport, with regular flights
traveling to Belize City, a hub for international destinations, taking just 25 minutes.
There are plenty of beautiful islands just off the coast of Placencia. There are professional licensed tour guides within Placencia village. Placencia also offers several dive and snorkel shops along the peninsula.
