Chabil Mar Villas

0 1 2 3 4

Chabil Mar Villas is a laid-back, service-orientated resort set on exclusive soft-sand beach on Belize's Caribbean coast.

This relaxed and informal property is just outside the beach village Placencia on Belize’s unspoilt Caribbean coast. The villas sit right on the beach front or have a view over the sparkling sea, each one embraced by tropical foliage in well managed gardens. The guest rooms are decorated with Belizean works of art, and each has a private veranda or terrace.

Meals are served al fresco at the beach-side dining area while a roaming butler and room service is available so you can choose to enjoy your meal on your veranda, the private pier or poolside.

The resort prides itself on its privacy, with its own stretch of beach and two ‘infinity’ swimming pools. Complimentary paddle boards, bicycles and kayaks are provided and golf carts (small fee) are available to drive around between the resort and the village. Optional activities include snorkelling, diving, fishing, river tours, visits to Mayan ruins and hikes at the Cockscomb Jaguar Reserve.

CT, Horley Dec 2011
We knew nothing about Guatemala and Belize before our trip and had not visited Central America. We relied on JLA understanding our interests and the resulting recommendations proved very successful.
