Exotica EcoLodge, Just 20 Minutes Away from the Placencia Peninsula
Placencia has long been one of Belize’s most sought-after destinations. With its golden beaches, lively village atmosphere, and easy access to snorkeling, diving, and island-hopping, it’s no surprise travelers flock here year-round. But what if you could enjoy all of Placencia’s amenities while retreating to a quiet luxury hideaway in the jungle?
That’s exactly what you’ll find at Exotica EcoLodge, a boutique property set 20 minutes outside the Placencia Peninsula. Here, guests trade the busy beachfront crowds for serene jungle mornings, bird calls, and personalized experiences—without ever being far from the coast.
Why Stay Just Outside Placencia?
Many travelers choose to base themselves in Placencia for its restaurants, shops, and tours. But staying beyond the village offers an entirely different kind of Belize experience:
1. Tranquility & Privacy

3. Best of Both Worlds
Spend your days exploring Placencia’s beaches and nightlife, then return to a peaceful, luxury retreat in the jungle.
