Placencia Village

Placencia Village sits at the southern tip of the peninsula and is its social and commercial heart, threaded by the famous Sidewalk, once recorded as the world's narrowest main street. Beach bars, seafood shacks, dive shops and a Saturday-market energy give the village an authentic, laid-back Belizean character that draws backpackers, sailors and retirees alike. The village core is the peninsula's best short-term-rental location thanks to walk-in tourist demand: condos run roughly USD 250,000-500,000 with advertised STR gross yields of 8-12% and the area's steady 7-9% appreciation. Walkability and amenity density keep occupancy and resale liquidity strong. Foreigners buy full freehold, pay 8% stamp tax and owe no capital-gains tax on sale.
