Nestled within a private 200-acre reserve on the Placencia Peninsula, Naia is an intimate, natural playground that sets the stage for uncommon adventures and personal growth.

Naia Resort and Spa encompasses 19 acres of secluded beachfront and lush landscapes within the private 200-acre Cocoplum Community on Belize’s Placencia Peninsula. The property extends along nearly a mile of palm-studded beach, where 37 beautifully-appointed Beach Houses envelop guests in casual, residential-style luxury.
At the heart of the resort lies Naia Spa, so 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 our skilled and experienced therapists work their restorative magic. The spa also features a fully-equipped fitness center, plus a yoga and movement studio that overlooks our tranquil lagoon.
Our 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 our saltwater pool, or journey further afield to explore one of our many cultural, land or sea tours.
