Tucked away on a serene stretch of the Placencia Peninsula, Villas at Playa de Coco offers an exclusive retreat where luxury meets the natural beauty of Belize’s Caribbean coast. Designed for travelers seeking privacy, elegance, and unforgettable experiences, our boutique resort blends world-class amenities with the charm of barefoot beach living.
Set along a private white sand beach lined with swaying coconut palms, the resort features 14 thoughtfully designed guest accommodations, including two stunning 4-bedroom beachfront villas, each with a private infinity pool. These villas are perfect for families or groups seeking space, privacy, and direct beach access. For a more intimate stay, we offer a two-bedroom villa and four one-bedroom studios—each crafted with modern comfort, natural textures, and indoor-outdoor living in mind.
Our guests enjoy access to three inviting swimming pools, including a resort-style common pool with a vibrant Tiki Bar, perfect for relaxing with tropical cocktails under the Belizean sun. For dining with a view, ascend to The View Rooftop Restaurant, Placencia’s largest oceanfront rooftop dining experience, offering fresh local cuisine and panoramic vistas of the Caribbean Sea. The rooftop features two bars connected by an illuminated glass sky bridge, creating a magical setting for sunset dinners, celebrations, or romantic evenings under the stars.
Beyond the luxurious accommodations and gourmet dining, Villas at Playa de Coco offers a unique collection of amenities designed to elevate every stay. Enjoy complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles to explore the area, relax in beach hammocks or seaside palapas, or take photos at Placencia’s only walk-through waterfall and our one-of-a-kind glass bridge.
Our spacious suites and villas come equipped with modern smart home features—including high-speed Wi-Fi, smart lighting, window shades, HVAC systems, large LED flat-screen TVs, and built-in Russound audio systems—ensuring comfort, convenience, and seamless living throughout your stay.
The resort is the vision of Dr. Frederick T. Work, a renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon from Atlanta, who transformed his dream of a tranquil seaside haven into a stunning architectural and lifestyle destination. What began as his retirement home evolved into a resort that celebrates nature, design, and hospitality—offering a place where guests can relax, reconnect, and be inspired.
Whether you're planning a romantic escape, family vacation, or private group retreat, Villas at Playa de Coco is your gateway to unspoiled beaches, vibrant local culture, and personalized luxury in the heart of Belize.
