Welcome to Our Blog

September was a big month of celebration and activities for us in Belize. September 10th was the final battle in the Spaniards attempt to take over Belize in 1798 and September 21st marks the Independence of Belize from Britain in 1981—these markers make the whole month one of celebration!

As we get closer to our Grand Opening later this year, we thought it would be fun to start introducing you to some of the friendly faces you’ll see as you walk around Placencia. Welcome to our “People of Placencia” series!

This is the latest in our ongoing series profiling some of our Itz’ana homeowners. Get to know them all here.

You all loved meeting a few of our homeowners so much last winter we thought – why stop there?! We’ll be spotlighting our owners every few weeks as we get ready for summer and our soft opening!

One of our core values at Itz’ana is our Pioneering Spirit. But what does this mean in tangible terms? Certainly it refers to the spirit that brought us to such an untouched, intrepid destination in the first place and what drove us to create experiential luxury in the jungle at Ka’ana Resort.

If you’ve ever Googled Placencia, you’ve seen the beautiful soft sands, colorful houses, and enticing blue waters of our Caribbean gem. But the beauty of this place goes far beyond what the postcards show.
