Kanu Island | Placencia, Belize | Private Vacation Island

 

Surrounded by the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea and vibrant coral reefs, Kanu Island is an extraordinary all-inclusive retreat in Belize. Located just 15 minutes off the coast of Placencia, Belize. This rare 2.2-acre coral island offers a uniquely private experience, combining barefoot luxury with the natural beauty of Belize’s famed barrier reef. Enveloped by live coral and shallow turquoise waters, Kanu features soft white-sand beaches that gently slope into the sea, creating the perfect setting for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in total seclusion.

Designed to host up to 20 guests in style and comfort, Kanu features five detached villas, each thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy and uninterrupted ocean views. Villas are spacious and includes a breezy master bedroom suite with high bamboo ceilings, a luxurious ensuite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers, and custom-made local furniture. The villas blend natural textures and contemporary finishes, capturing the essence of tropical chic while ensuring ultimate comfort. At the heart of the island stands a massive thatch-roofed central palapa, the social hub of the property. This expansive structure houses a communal kitchen, bar, and generous living and dining areas, making it ideal for group gatherings, celebrations, or relaxed evenings under the stars. Just outside, a large swimming pool and sun loungers invite guests to unwind against the breathtaking ocean backdrop.

Kanu guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire island. The all-inclusive rate includes all transfers to and from the Belize International Airport, all accommodations, all meals prepared by your personal chef, all local beverage, including local beer and spirits, personal concierge services, personal boat captain to take your fishing and snorkeling around the island, on-site massages, housekeeping, Internet/Wifi, unlimited use of kayaks, paddle boards, catamaran, snorkeling gear and all other sporting equipment.

Guests of the private island can explore the vibrant underwater world of the surrounding coral reef, enjoy sunset cocktails at the dockside palapa, dine al fresco with the sea breeze, or simply relax in one of the shaded lounging areas. With easy boat access to Placencia’s mainland, excursions and cultural experiences are always within reach—yet the island itself feels like an entirely different world.
