Rent this new private coral island located off the coast of Belize
If the idea of staying at an exclusive private island appeals to you, you might be interested in hiring Kanu Island, a newly-opened hideaway located off the coast of Placencia in Belize.
The beautiful 2.5-acre coral island has five 1000-square-foot villas, and it accommodates up to to 14 adults and six children, making it perfect for family reunions and group stays. Each villa contains an air-conditioned master bedroom suite, high bamboo ceilings, large bathrooms with outdoor showers and custom local furniture. Some villas also have large soaking tubs and one has a loft for children.
The island comes complete with a white sand beach, private chef, maid service, concierge and laundry service. There's a huge palm-thatched central area that contains the living room, dining room, large bar and kitchen, flanked by the freshwater swimming pool, complete with swim-up bar.
The design palette incorporates coral stone and rosewood flooring, and entertainment options include Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, kayaks and paddle boards, a ping pong table, pool table and lawn games.
The underwater sights include a fish-filled house coral reef just off the island, and 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. A boat with a captain is available for local fishing and snorkeling close to the island, and a massage therapist is also available.
Kanu Island is available to rent from Vrbo and you can check it out here .
