About Naia Resort & Spa

Escape to a place where your closest neighbor may be a diving pelican, lumbering manatee or hundred-year-old mango tree. Located on a stretch of palm-studded beach on the Placencia Peninsula in Belize, Naia Resort & Spa is an idyllic getaway centered around wellness and relaxation. From the very first moment you set foot on the winding pathways and footbridges of the lilypad-covered lagoon, you already feel a gentle sense of calm. The resort comprises 35 beautifully appointed bungalows all of which come equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea, a kitchenette and an outdoor garden shower.

Wellness

What We Love

From the very first moment you set foot on the winding pathways and footbridges enclosed within a jungle canopy, you may already feel a gentle shift, your senses stimulated by the lush green and pops of color of the surrounding forest. Here, where the life-giving energy of water is abundant in the freshwater lagoons, the breathtaking scenery and its watery reflections give you time, inspiration and space to slow down. Stay in your own private beach bungalow which features floor-to-ceiling windows, a kitchenette and a stunning outdoor garden shower that brings you closer to Belize's magnificent flora and fauna. And while there's enough to keep you busy at the resort what with pools, the beach and watersports, you may just want to explore inland and discover a country full of mystery and adventure. The concierge team is more than happy to recommend the best spots for ziplining, river tubing, waterfall hiking and scarlet macaw watching. The resort is also a proud member of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows guests to make a lasting impact in the community. If you save just a few pounds of space in your suitcase and take supplies for the projects in need they support, you’ll make a priceless impact on the lives of local children and families.

Spa

At the heart of the resort lies Naia Spa, a breathtaking retreat spread over a collection of small islands dotting an enchanting freshwater lagoon. Within the natural sanctuary of the spa, five individual treatment suites extend over enchanting lily-covered lagoons providing a truly personal escape. There's also a beautiful couple’s suite positioned on its own intimate island for the ultimate in privacy. All of the treatments feature products crafted from indigenous ingredients and made by local artisans and traditional healers.
