Set to open in December 2024, Prana Maya Island Resort is the latest luxury destination in Belize, offering a unique blend of seclusion, wellness, and natural beauty. Located on Placencia Caye, a private island just five minutes by boat from the mainland. Whether you’re seeking a quiet retreat or an adventurous escape, Prana Maya delivers an exclusive, sustainable experience.
A Vision Turned Reality
Prana Maya Island Resort is the culmination of a dream from real estate entrepreneur Steve Hall and developer David Keener. What began as an inspiring trip to Belize soon evolved into the creation of an exclusive wellness-focused sanctuary. Located on the private Placencia Caye, just minutes by boat from the mainland, the resort offers a tranquil escape where guests can reconnect with nature while indulging in luxurious comforts. After two and a half years of meticulous planning and construction, Prana Maya is now ready to welcome those seeking an unparalleled, nature-driven getaway.
Private Villas and Wellness-Focused Luxury
Designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, Prana Maya features seven exclusive villas and ten suites at The Inn. Each villa offers three- to four-bedroom accommodations with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, the island’s lagoon, and the Maya Mountains. Designed with privacy and serenity in mind, each villa includes a private plunge pool and spacious living areas. Guests of The Inn will enjoy natural light-filled suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic ocean views. A dedicated butler attends to each guest’s needs, while custom grounding mats in every bed enhance the connection to nature, supporting both mental and physical well-being. Prana Maya’s wellness offerings are designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. The resort’s spa, located on the top floor of The Inn, offers sweeping 360-degree views of the Caribbean and the Maya Mountains. The spa features a yoga studio, private treatment rooms, and a sound therapy room to promote holistic wellness. Guests can unwind on the island’s exclusive private beach, the only one on Placencia Caye not shared with another property, enjoying beachside service in complete privacy.
Outdoor Adventures and Culinary Delights
For those seeking adventure, Prana Maya offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Guests can explore the island’s diverse ecosystems through exclusive excursions like sportfishing, where seasoned guides from High Adventure Company will help them catch the Grand Slam—permit, tarpon, and bonefish—in a single day. Additionally, the resort offers exhilarating activities like cave tubing, jungle trekking, zip-lining, and diving, allowing guests to experience Belize’s rich natural beauty up close. Dining at Prana Maya is an extraordinary experience, with Executive Chef Liesel Kirste at the helm, creating exceptional dishes from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Many of the ingredients are harvested from the resort’s 10-acre farm. Guests can enjoy gourmet meals at The Grill or more casual fare at The Island Club, which includes an outdoor kitchen and soon-to-be-added pickleball courts. The culinary team also offers bespoke menus catering to individual dietary preferences, ensuring that each guest’s nutritional needs are met with creativity and flair.
The Ultimate Getaway
Prana Maya Island Resort is the epitome of luxury and sustainability, seamlessly blending modern comforts with the natural splendour of Belize. Whether seeking a private, all-inclusive retreat for family gatherings, weddings, or corporate events, or simply a peaceful getaway to unwind and reconnect with nature, Prana Maya promises an unforgettable experience. With world-class accommodations, top-tier wellness facilities, and a rich array of activities, it is set to become a must-visit destination for those looking to escape to paradise.
