Private Island Caye close to Placencia

Not published

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Round Caye is a rare opportunity to acquire a strategically located private island within the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System. Situated 16 miles off the coast of Placencia, this caye combines seclusion, accessibility, and strong development potential.

Strategic Location & Market Appeal:

It is 5 minutes from the Belize Barrier Reef, and 10 minutes to Tarpon Caye Fishing Lodge and Gladden Island Resort. Access to Placencia Village, the mainland, and international airport connections is easy and safe. It is located in one of Belize’s fastest-growing tourism and eco-luxury corridors.

Development & Revenue Potential:

This island is ideally suited for a luxury boutique resort, high-end short-term vacation rentals, a private ultra-luxury villa, or an eco-luxury or dive-focused hospitality concept. The island’s size, proximity to Placencia, and existing improvements significantly reduce operational complexity and development risk.

Existing Infrastructure:

A concrete pier with a 20-foot palapa is suitable for boat docking, dining, or guest arrivals. There is a 1,600 sq. ft. two-story residence with panoramic 360-degree ocean views. Unfinished infrastructure is also present, allowing investors to accelerate development timelines.

Scarcity Value:

Private islands in this region are rarely offered to the open market, especially those within close proximity to the reef, near established luxury resorts, and with clear development potential. This scarcity enhances long-term capital appreciation and exit value.
