About this property

Kanu Private Island Belize

Kanu is an extraordinary all-inclusive private island surrounded by the crystal clear Caribbean Sea. Situated only 15 minutes off the coast of Placencia, Belize sits this rare coral island of incomparable beauty; surrounded by its own live coral reef with amazing coral, its white sandy beaches slopes gently into the lapping waves and clear water. Kanu's 2.2 acres ensures privacy with five 1,000+ square-foot villas, each containing a breezily chic master bedroom suite, high bamboo ceilings, huge resort bathrooms with outdoor showers, high end finish out and custom local furniture. Each of the 5 detached villas are placed to take advantage of the amazing ocean views with privacy.

Kanu guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire island. The all-inclusive rate includes all transfers to and from the Belize International Airport, all accommodations, all meals prepared by your personal chef, all local beverage, including local beer and spirits, personal concierge services, personal boat captain to take your fishing and snorkeling around the island, on-site massages, housekeeping, Internet/Wifi, unlimited use of kayaks, paddle boards, catamaran, snorkeling gear and all other sporting equipment.

Kanu’s massive thatch roofed central palapa is flanked by a large swimming pool and sun loungers. Housing a communal kitchen, bar, and large living and dining areas to bring everyone together. The soothing design palette incorporates coral stone and reclaimed wood, complemented with accent shades of the sea and sun.

The real star of Kanu is the dazzling ocean, visible at every turn. The underwater sights are equally impressive, thanks to fish-filled coral heads just offshore. A 20-minute boat ride transports visitors to the Belize Barrier Reef for an even more expansive look at the region’s famous aquatic ecosystem.

Kanu is a certified Gold Standard Property by the Belize Tourism Board and managed by a highly respected company that manages four exclusive private island and numerous luxury waterfront villas in Placencia.

Magical Vacation

We spent 4 days on Kanu as part of the surf and turf promotion. There were 6 of us celebrating a 20th anniversary. The only way to describe this island is magical. Everything was clean and well taken care of, the island is stunning, the creatures were fun to see, plenty of activities for all. And THE STAFF! They should write a book on how it’s done. Every detail and need was tended to. Jesse (sp) prepared the most delicious and beautifully presented meals. Anna and Nick took very good care of serving us and getting everything we could want taken care of. Patti was one of the best massage therapists we have had and simply spoiled us rotten. Cory took care of boating us around and teaching is to fish. And Pete was sure everything was in working order and on point! Literally not a detail overlooked. We will definitely be back!!
