What it’s good at

Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set just off the mainland, the island puts saltwater flats fly-fishing and the Belize Barrier Reef within easy boating reach.
The rooms
Light-filled Inn suites look toward the sea, while standalone villas feature hand-carved mahogany doors and private infinity plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An oceanfront pool borders the sandy shoreline, where kayaks and paddleboards rest ready for the water.
The spa
Top-floor treatment rooms look over the Caribbean, with body rituals using Belizean seaweed, aloe vera, and rainforest cacao.
At the table
The Grove serves fresh reef seafood and organic greenhouse greens, and a thatched palapa bar pours beachside cocktails.
How it began
Founders Steve Hall and David Keener acquired this isolated tract of Placencia Caye to build an eco-minded island sanctuary.
