Naia Resort and Spa, Stann Creek District, Belize

Naia Resort and Spa encompass 19 acres of a secluded beach and lush landscapes within the private 200-acre Naia Residences on Belize’s Placencia Peninsula. The property extends along nearly a mile of palm-studded beach, where beautiful beach houses envelop guests in residential-style luxury.

Naia Resort and Spa allows guests to feel like they've stepped into a home away from home and makes it easy to fully embrace beautiful Belizean surroundings. They designed 38 spacious beach houses and tree top villas to offer all the amenities of a private residence while using custom-made, locally produced craft furnishings throughout every accommodation. From their very own citrus nectar scent bath amenities to the fresh coffee beans and French press on your counter, you’ll find the Naia difference is in the details.

The resort's two inviting restaurants invite you to savor an authentic taste of Belize with seasonally-influenced menus and specialty drinks. Explore the beauty of the peninsula with kayaks and paddleboards, enjoy a refreshing swim in the saltwater pool or journey further afield to explore one of many cultural, land or sea tours.

At the heart of the resort lies Naia Spa, named to reflect the free-spirited nature of the resort and the ever-present connection between land and water. This breathtaking retreat is spread over a collection of small islands dotting an enchanting freshwater lagoon where skilled therapists work their restorative magic. The spa also features a fully-equipped fitness center, plus a yoga studio that overlooks a tranquil lagoon.

Getting to Placencia
To get to your resort in Belize you will need to fly into Belize International Airport (BZE). From BZE you will need to book a flight to the destination area of your resort, Placencia.

Your Tropic Air reservation made through Vacation Express will not be available to view on Tropic Air’s website. You do not need to make any arrangements directly with Tropic Air. Your Tropic Air reservation holds a seat for you based on your arrival. Due to the size of the aircraft, seats are not pre-assigned. Upon arrival to BZE, after clearing immigration and customs, someone from Tropic Air will be waiting for you to guide you to the Tropic Air desk where you will check in for your domestic flight and will be placed on the first available flight to Placencia. Your return flight time will also be confirmed at this time. If your international arrival flight to BZE is delayed, Tropic Air will automatically rebook you on the next available flight with open seats. Please note that in some rare circumstances this may be a flight on the following day.
