Discover an Island Resort Just Offshore from Placencia
Some of the best parts of Belize are found beyond the mainland. King Lewey's Island Resort is a privately owned Caribbean island approximately 12 miles offshore from Placencia, Belize.
Watch the video below for a glimpse of the clear Caribbean water and laid-back island atmosphere waiting just a boat ride from Placencia.
From Placencia to a Caribbean Island Escape
Placencia is one of Southern Belize's most popular vacation destinations—and it's also the jumping-off point for an entirely different Belize experience.
Approximately 12 miles offshore sits King Lewey's Island Resort, a small Caribbean island reached by about a 40-minute boat ride from Placencia.
Stay overnight in one of four colorful overwater cabanas or the three-bedroom Purple Octopus Suite, with seven total bedrooms and accommodations for up to 22 overnight guests.
Once on the island, guests can swim and snorkel directly around the island, kayak, paddleboard, relax on the overwater swings, take on the 42-foot waterslide, or enjoy food and tropical drinks at the open-air waterfront restaurant and bar.
King Lewey's welcomes overnight guests as well as travelers looking for a Belize island day trip from Placencia.
For couples, families and groups who want more than a traditional mainland resort stay, heading offshore can add an entirely different dimension to a Placencia vacation.
