Placencia's character comes from the people who've called it home for generations — Creole and Garifuna fishing families, and the wider mix of cultures that make up southern Belize. Itz'ana's connection to that culture runs through its team, its table and its community partnerships.
GARIFUNA HERITAGE
Southern Belize, including Placencia, is home to a vibrant Garifuna culture. Itz'ana connects guests to it directly through experiences like the Garifuna Drums dinner, which pairs traditional Garinagu cuisine with live drumming.
Placencia's sidewalk village, local markets and family-run restaurants offer an entirely different rhythm from the resort — an easy afternoon away from the villa.
Guests can experience the culture of southern Belize through experiences such as the Garifuna Drums dinner and visits to Placencia Village, with its local markets and family-run restaurants.
