Travelers can step into a world that blends carefree luxury with immersive experiences at Prana Maya Island Resort (www.pranamayaresort.com), a new boutique escape on Placencia Caye in southeastern Belize. Opened in January 2025, the five-acre resort is surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and is only a short, complimentary boat ride from Placencia Village—a colorful beach town known for its local art, restaurants, and the longest public beach in Belize. “Prana is a Sanskrit term meaning breath and sustaining force of life,” says Keith A. Izydore, Managing Partner of the resort. “We have put great attention into weaving vitality and renewal into everything at Prana Maya—whether it’s in the food we serve, the design of our spaces, or the experiences we offer. Our goal is to offer a soulful sanctuary for those seeking more from every moment.” At Prana Maya, the accommodations are as thoughtfully curated as the surroundings. Guests can choose between The Inn, which houses 10 guest rooms of about 800 square feet each, or The Villas, seven expansive, two-story residences that range from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet. All rooms and villas offer sweeping views of the sea, handcrafted Belizean woodwork, luxe linens, air conditioning, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. The villas also include private plunge pools, chef-inspired kitchens, spacious terraces with outdoor kitchens, and some even feature game rooms and wet bars. “We designed our accommodations to blur the line between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty,” adds Izydore. “You’re never far from the sea or sky.”
