Set on Placencia Caye — a secluded Caribbean island just offshore from Placencia Village — Prana Maya sits between reef, sea, and mainland Belize. Both a soulful sanctuary and a portal to the culture and natural wonders of the country, the resort blends sustainable luxury with the essence, beauty, tranquility of the island.

“We had high expectations and those expectations were fulfilled at every level… The outdoor living area was large and private. This didn’t feel like a hotel room, but rather a wonderful living space. The “open air” common area of the hotel was exquisite and very inviting. The restaurant was excellent and the bar was a great place to hang out and socialize. The outdoor area includes a beautiful pool and perfectly maintained grounds and beach area… The spa space was spectacular and the spa staff was wonderful… There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy activities on and off the property.”

"A peaceful, luxury retreat with world class hospitality.”

"We loved everything about this property. My husband and I feel so grateful for our recent two-night, adults-only getaway at the beautiful Prana Maya Island Resort in Placencia, Belize. It was a much-needed pause, and the kindness of the team—from the thoughtful room upgrade to the carefully curated touches throughout our property and stay—made it feel truly special. Our beachfront villa with a private pool, the warm hospitality, world class wellness spa, and delicious cuisine created a restorative experience we’ll always remember. A heartfelt thank-you to the wonderful team at Prana Maya for making our stay so memorable. If your travels bring you to Placencia and you’re looking for a peaceful, luxury retreat, this newly opened resort is a lovely option to consider."

“My experience at Prana Maya was incredible in every way but one of the most impactful moments that resonated with me throughout my entire stay was the amazing greeting I received from the staff when I arrived with my family! It had been a long day of traveling on three different flights, delays and more and we were all just tired and ready to get to the resort. But when we boated through the lagoon and saw an impressive group of Prana Maya team members there to welcome and greet us with a smile and a special cocktail, I knew our stay would be fantastic! They all knew our names, and the greeting was incredibly genuine and one I will never forget! Throughout our stay, the same smiling faces to continued to call us by name and truly seem to care about our comfort and wellbeing. The food, the accommodations and the overall quality of the resort was unmatched in my many travels around the world."

“We stayed here for 8 nights celebrating our 30th anniversary. It was our first time in Belize so we were not sure what to expect but Prana Maya was the perfect home for us while we explored part of the beautiful country of Belize. I am not easily impressed but everything about this place was just better than the next. Our driver and deckhand were waiting for us when we stepped off the plane in Placencia and from that moment we were treated like family. Everyone went above and beyond to know us and make sure we had everything we could need or want. The welcome wave from the boat ride in, the absolutely stunning architecture and furnishings, the luxury bedding, the fabulous spa and bath products... not to mention some of the most delicious (healthy) food I have ever eaten... everything was perfect! And the views we experienced every day from all angles of this beautiful property...I will never forget the absolute tranquility."

“Step away from the world and recharge at Prana Maya Amazing week-long experience with our busy family from Miami (2 parents and 2 college-age children). Exclusive resort with tremendous staff and 5-star facilities with service equal or better than any in the world. Friendly, quiet, really allowed us to step out of the world of work and school, completely recharged in peace. We took advantage of private charter fishing multiple times, jungle zip-lining, and most water sports almost every day. 110% recommended - we look forward to returning with extended family in the future."

“We recently hosted our niece's wedding at Prana Maya Island Resort! With about 65 attendees coming from all over the US and Europe, we blocked the entire resort for her wedding weekend. With full access to beach areas and water sports equipment, bar, dining area, and villas, our guests could connect easily, making the ceremony and reception truly memorable. As our guests were leaving, all we heard was what an incredible event it was, as well as compliments about the beauty of the island and resort. Some told us they'd never been to such a unique and special event.”
