Getting Here: Your Journey To Remote Beachfront Luxury

Itz'ana is situated in southern Belize on the Placencia Peninsula and is only a 20-minute drive from Placencia Village itself. The narrow main street of the village is scattered with award winning restaurants, resorts, cafes, local artisans and gift shops! This small village is full of character and charm. Placencia is bursting at the seams with culture and adventure with activities such as fishing, snorkeling, diving and so much more. The year-round warm weather makes for perfect beach days and endless fun in the Belizean sun! Itz'ana presents luxury accommodations between manicured indigenous sea gardens, and ensures a classic Belizean affair through its cuisine, hospitality, and hands-on experiences, all while social distancing.

Land Travel to Itz'ana 

A personal driver will be sent to receive guests and whisk them away on a 3 ½ hour drive through the majestic Maya mountains. The scenery is sure to take one's breath away, fog covered mountain tops, jungle around each bend and the coastal road teasing as to what awaits at Itz'ana. Belize's diverse ecosystems take a person on a journey through what are many awe inspiring moments which are quite easily shown off to all its visitors.

Air Travel to Itz'ana

A timesaving choice is to book a direct flight from Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport to the Placencia airstrip via Tropic Air or Maya Island. A 14-seater plane will take passengers to new heights on this 40-minute flight. Soak in the aerial view of the inland mountains, an untouched coastline of every colour of blue and the uninhabited cayes placed so delicately in the beckoning Caribbean Sea. From the local airstrip to Itz'ana is a brief 7-minute drive. 

Our guest's health and safety are of utmost importance to us! Prior to leaving the airport, temperatures will be checked, as well as a briefing of procedures by our drivers. Before and after each trip our vehicles are thoroughly cleaned, and before entering vehicles we supply hand sanitation. Masks will be worn in the vehicle by staff and guests, as per GOB mandate. Our vehicle capacity is limited to avoid crowding and for your safety. We are all doing our part to stop the spread of Covid-19, and Itz'ana is committed to making socially distanced vacations not only safe, but enjoyable and an unforgettable experience!
