Welcome to a 4-bedroom, 6-bathroom private island villa with private chef included.Situated on Placencia Caye just a few hundred yards from the heart of Placencia Village, this is a stunning 2-story custom waterfront estate that delivers the best of both worlds — the privacy, security, and exclusivity of your own private island, with Placencia Village just a 2-minute boat ride away. Whether you want to spend lazy days on the island soaking in the Caribbean breeze, or hop over to the village for dinner, bar hopping, and exploring, the choice is always yours and always effortless.The ground floor sets an impressive tone with a large game room featuring a full walk-around bar with a commercial ice maker, a pool table, board games, and flat-screen TV — opening directly onto the ground-level freshwater pool, back patio, and beach. Four generously sized king bedrooms are spread across both floors, each with a private en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The master suite on the upper floor is a standout, featuring an outdoor shower and a private outdoor bathtub, a large flat-screen TV, and private balcony doors that open onto one of the most spectacular views on the property.The second floor is the heart of the home — a large open-plan kitchen, dining room, and media lounge with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea and the Maya Mountains, a BBQ grill on the outdoor dining terrace, and sliding glass doors that open to the crown jewel of the villa: the upstairs infinity plunge pool. With trade wind breezes flowing through and panoramic views in every direction, it is one of the finest spots on the island to watch the sun go down.Large, covered patios on every level overlook both the marina and the ocean. The covered pier is a favorite gathering spot at golden hour — keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing in the shallows at sunset, or manatees drifting lazily by. Kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear are right on the beach, where the water on the leeward side is always calm and clear.This is a certified Gold Standard Property by the Belize Tourism Board and managed by Gecko Vacation Rentals.**CHEF SERVICE**Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed.
