About This Island

A rare coral island of unparalleled beauty is located only 15 minutes off the coast of Placencia, Belize, with its white sands gently descending into the Caribbean Sea. Kanu’s 2.5 acres guarantee privacy with five 1,000-square-foot villas, each with a breezy stylish master bedroom suite, high bamboo ceilings, enormous resort bathrooms with outdoor showers, high-end finish out, and custom local furnishings. Additionally, some villas have large soaking baths, and one has a loft for children. At the center of the island is a large, palm-thatched central area with a living room, dining room, large bar, and kitchen that is flanked by a large, in-ground, fresh-water swimming pool with a swim-up bar. The calming color scheme consists of coral stone and stunning rose wood flooring, complemented by sea and sun-inspired accent hues.

The Caribbean hurricane belt sits north of 12°N latitude. Southern Caribbean (Aruba, Curaçao, Trinidad, Grenada) lies below this line and historically sees less than one major storm per decade — about 1/10th the risk of Bahamas or Cayman.
