Naia Resort and Spa

Nestled in a lush 200-acre reserve in the town of Placencia, Belize, Naia Resort and Spa is a relaxing luxury escape with a focus on wellness - no matter where you turn, there’s an opportunity for inspiration, adventure and reflection.

The resort accommodates 35 cottages, which range from studios to three bedrooms, all with beach access. Locally crafted furnishings feature traditional Belizean art, and blooming hibiscus flowers adorn the beds to introduce guests to Belizean culture. The luxurious bathrooms are almost a retreat within themselves, with indoor soaking tubs and an outdoor garden shower.

The spa is undoubtedly the heart of Naia Resort and Spa. Treatments take place in private over-water suites using local botanicals.

There are three restaurants at Naia Resort and Spa, again, all on the beachfront. Featuring locally-sourced seasonal ingredients, they each serve the finest that Belizean cuisine has to offer.

With a book in hand and a cocktail in the other, dip into the resort’s saltwater pool for a refreshing respite. Guests can also choose from a variety of activities such as yoga sessions overlooking the tranquil lagoon, or kayaking. Just minutes away from the resort, peaceful mangroves are home to crocodiles, iguanas, manatees and dolphins.
