Elegant 2 Bedroom Beachfront Villa with Stunning Ocean Views

Welcome to Mayatai Beach Villa! A breathtaking 2-story beachfront retreat located on the serene coastline of Placencia, Belize. Offering an intimate yet luxurious escape, this villa boasts two elegantly designed bedrooms, each featuring a California king bed for ultimate comfort. The master bedroom provides the added indulgence of an outdoor shower, allowing you to soak in the tropical ambiance in complete privacy. Both ensuite bathrooms are thoughtfully equipped with standing showers and bidets, blending modern sophistication with a spa-like experience.

The villa’s open-concept living space is bathed in natural light, with large windows and glass doors framing picturesque ocean views. The contemporary design is accentuated by high-end finishes and handcrafted furnishings, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance. Two fully equipped kitchens, one on each floor, offers everything you need to prepare gourmet meals, while the spacious dining and living areas provide ample room for relaxation and entertainment.

Step outside, and you'll find yourself just steps from the pristine beach. Sea turtles have been known to nest beneath the villa, providing guests the rare opportunity to witness the hatching of baby turtles as they make their way to the ocean. From the villa’s front deck, you can sometimes spot manatees gliding gracefully through the waters. The spacious back deck is perfect for viewing the sunrise with your morning coffee.

Mayatai Beach Villa is the ultimate destination for those seeking a harmonious blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Mango, coconut, and cashew trees can be found on the property, offering not only natural beauty but also the occasional chance to enjoy freshly picked fruit.

Our full-time concierge will assist you in planning every detail of your trip from arranging transportation from/to the Belize City Airport, booking tours and activities, golf cart rental as well spa services and chef services at the property.

ABOUT PLACENCIA
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is the second most popular tourist destination in the country. It is situated on a 16-mile-long peninsula that is surrounded by a lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye/San Pedro. Being inland, Placencia provides easy access to many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, ziplining and cave tubing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops, bars and the famous Placencia Sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!

GETTING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO THE PROPERTY
All international flights into and out of Belize are serviced through the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE), located northwest of Belize City. Your concierge will assist with the first options to arrange domestic transportation from BZE to Placencia:
- Travel by plane on a local commuter flight from the airport (BZE) to the Placencia Airstrip (PLJ). Flight time is approximately 30 minutes. Once in Placencia, our staff will pick you up and take you to the villa. Our concierge will work with you to book the local flights as soon as you have your international flights ready.
- Travel by private shuttle van from BZE, where the driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive time is approximately 2 hours. You’ll be taken directly to the villa. Our concierge will work with you to book the shuttle van as soon as you have your international flights ready.
- Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the condo yourself. There are numerous rental car agencies right across the parking lot from baggage claim including Hertz Avis and Crystal Car Rental a larger local car rental company. You would just need to go online to book and secure a vehicle prior to arrival.

One of the best vacations we have had
The property was absolutely as beautiful as it was advertised. 3 en-suite bedrooms. The house has lots of space for 3 people. The best part was the chef and the maid service. The maid laundered our clothes daily and the chef cook healthy meals 3 days per week. The house came with a golf cart that made everything in the village accessible. The view was amazing and the neighborhood was very quite and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this property for an absolutely fabulous carefree vacation!

Perfect Vacation Getaway!
Our 4-night stay at Merry Gecko was heavenly. The beds were very comfortable and the house came with many amenities, such as bikes, kayaks, a golf cart (we didn’t use since we had a car) and even a local cell phone (extremely useful). The best part was the chef, who made 3 delicious meals a day for two days. Not having to even think about meals made this vacation a true vacation. Our family of 6 spent many hours in and around the pool, relaxing and talking. The linens were clean and of good quality. The house itself was spacious and cleaned every day. They even did our laundry! This was a true vacation for us. The only drawback is that it’s about a 25-30 minute drive into the heart of Placencia. Nonetheless, we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Best Vacation of My Life!
Perfect in every way! The home was beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. We enjoyed watching the sunsets over the lagoon in the evenings. The meals from the chef were so delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Placencia village is a laid back town perfect for families. There are plenty of resturants, bars, gift shops and even a gelateria. We cant't wait to return!

Relaxing adventure!
Wonderful home, with friendly staff! Our entire trip was coordinated with their attentive concierge from booking to departure with every detail attended to. The chef prepared our breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 3 days and we believe it was the best meals we had while in Placencia. We celebrated a birthday and they surprised us with a birthday cake, balloons, and sweet thoughtful decorations. Speaking of decorations, we had fresh tropical flowers in every room when we arrived and they stayed throughout our entire stay. Loved the small touches around this property. We will be back!!

Great location and value.
This home was a great value with 4 bedrooms. Plenty or room for our group of 7. The location is nice in a secure neighborhood close to Maya Beach for fantastic restaurants and grocery store. The daily housekeeping and chef service made the vacation completely stress free. I was a little concerned about being on the lagoon instead of the beach but the sunsets over the mountains across the lagoon were amazing; unexpected bonus! We had plenty of beach time on our snorkeling trip and across the street and at the resort. I highly recommend this property.
