Placencia has earned major international recognition once again, this time from Fodor’s, one of the world’s most respected and influential travel authorities. The village has been officially named a Top Destination to Visit in 2026, landing a coveted spot on the Fodor’s Go List for Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Described by Fodor's as, "A lush corner of Belize with splashes of color and 16 miles of reasons to stay."
Once a scrappy fishing village, this dreamy peninsula in southern Belize has shape-shifted into a low-key Caribbean hideout with world-class snorkeling, paint-splatter sunsets, and exceptional accommodation options including Chabil Mar Villas.
Chabil Mar is widely considered one of Placencia’s top places to stay. Known for its beachfront villas, lush gardens, and guest-exclusive atmosphere, Chabil Mar showcases the beauty, privacy, and hospitality that make Placencia unlike any other destination.”
