The Belize Ocean Club rests on Maya Beach in Placencia, a verdant, 18-mile long peninsula in southern Belize. Poised near the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere and near the country’s extensive network of protected areas and parks. Placencia offers endless options for adventure and relaxation. Go diving or snorkeling along the Barrier Reef, explore mangroves and deserted cayes by kayak, spot birds and wildlife on Monkey River or at Cockscomb Nature Sanctuary, try your luck at fly fishing or go sport fishing along the reef. Then again, you could just stretch out with your favorite drink on the silky sands of the most spectacular beaches on the Belize mainland, listening to the waves breaking against the shore.
