Little Harvest Caye - Your Own Private Island

Your own private custom, high-end island! Only your group and the onsite staff, who have separate detached housing, will be on the island during your stay. This uniquely designed island includes 5 private suites with their own large open air thatch roof bathrooms, specifically laid out to take advantage of the amazing sea, mountain views and the cool trade winds.

Little Harvest Caye is a 1.5 acre private resort island that is located just 3/4 of a mile from the center of Placencia Village which is just a short 5 minute boat ride all in protected smooth waters. The Little Harvest Caye boat stays out on the island along with its captain and is available to take you back and fourth from Placencia based on your schedule. The island is uniquely situated to have panoramic views in all directions of the Maya Mountains, open ocean and Placencia Village.

Little Harvest Caye 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.

Little Harvest Caye offers an experience like no other in Belize. During your stay at Little Harvest Caye you have a chef to prepare all your meals (cost of food not included), daily housekeeping along with a boat and captain at your disposal to go any time for dinner, bar hopping, shopping, or taking in the many other sites and attractions of Placencia Village.

Guests of Little Harvest Caye truly have the best of both worlds; the privacy, exclusivity and uniqueness of being on a private island, all the comforts of home (a/c in all bedrooms, wifi, cable tv etc.) and the convenience and ability to take the Little Harvest Caye private boat from the island to the village anytime to enjoy all that Placencia has to offer.

Some resorts talk about being green, Little Harvest Caye is as green as any property can be. Little Harvest Caye is powered by a state of the art 45,000 watt solar system, with a room full of batteries to power the island when the sun is not out making it truly off-grid. The island does have a back-up generator to provide power to the island during extended periods of rain or heavy clouds; its use is not required under normal circumstances and with reasonable use of the air conditioners in each of the bedrooms. A very thoughtful effort went into the building design and details including the latest in LED technology, all butane cooking, water heating and even refrigeration. Efficient DC technology ceiling fans and the extremely efficient and quiet in room solar mini split AC systems truly make it where Little Harvest Caye can satisfy 100% of its electric needs from its solar system.
Placencia itself also is an ideal location to explore all Belize has to offer. In Placencia you have access to both land and sea tours and excursions, most less than 1 hour away. Our concierge will assist in planning and booking your activities to enable you to get the most out of your trip.

Placencia and the area around Little Harvest Caye is home to some of the best saltwater fly fishing for Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon in the world as well as amazing snook, snapper and other fishing literally right off of the island.

Placencia is also known for amazing diving and snorkeling, including an annual visit each year of the amazing and elusive Whale Shark, usully frm March to June.

The Little Harvest Caye concierge can arrange for diving and fishing tours to be picked up and dropped off at the island dock.
Whether you want explore Belize to the fullest or relax by the pool Little Harvest Caye will provide a vacation like no other.

Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia Lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye / San Pedro. Being on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

All international flights coming into Belize land at the Belize City Airport (BZE). Our full time concierge will work with you to arrange transportation from BZE to the property.

Getting from BZE to LHC is easy with 2 options available.

Option 1 is to take a short (approximately 30 minute) local commuter flight from BZE to the Placencia Airstrip where you will be met by the island's staff that will pick you in our custom limo golf cart to take the short 1 minute ride to our marina where the boat will be waiting to take you on the short ride out to the island. Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.

Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the Gecko Marina where the island's staff will be waiting on you to take you in the boat to take you to the island. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to our marina is around 3 hours. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked.

BOOKING FEES & CANCELLATION POLICY
A full refund minus a non-refundable booking fee of $450, will be issued when Guest elects to cancel the booking at least 120 days prior to check-in date. If the booking is canceled at any point after the 120 days, all payments made will be retained.

Our recent family stay at Little Harvest Caye was amazing!
The grounds, privacy, service, and amenities left absolutely nothing to be desired. The owners/management included so many thoughtful touches that everyone in our multi-generation trip was entertained at all times and able to enjoy our week-long vacation. Bedrooms were large, clean, and well-equipped. Grounds were impeccable maintained. Common areas, pool, furniture, entertainment were stellar. Food was unbelievably delicious, healthy, and satisfying. Service was OUTSTANDING - every single request or inquiry we had was handled seamlessly. Truly a special property for making lifetime memories. Thank you!

Absolute paradise
An indescribable experience in actual paradise. Everything from the location, accommodations, food and the lovely and attentive staff made this stay a trip of a lifetime. The island has all the amenities to support a respite of comfort and peace while also providing fun activities like boating, kayaking, and swimming with easy access to the mainland where you can find plenty of restaurants, bars and amazing site seeing. Can’t recommend this unforgettable experience enough

Paradise Island!
This was our family's 2nd stay at Little Harvest Caye, and we're already planning our 3rd! Pictures and words don't do justice to the island, the accommodations and the amazing staff. We felt welcomed from the first minute, and our time flew by. The staff were unfailingly kind and thoughtful, our meals were impeccable, and we never got tired of the island's natural beauty. We passed our days with epic games of cornhole & bocce, swimming, lounging in the many comfortable seating areas, and just enjoying the 360-degree views. It's the trip of a lifetime, and we can't wait to come back!

Refreshing Private Paradise
We really enjoyed the blend of total Privacy and relaxation with the option (not always exercised) to go into town if one could be bothered. Lovely accommodation and the food was delicious.There was plenty to do on the island (kayaking,swimming,fishing) and lots to do on the mainland. The local town is charming and has good food and bars and all the shops to make this stay a really memorable one. We loved the actual Island, really nice to have one to yourselves, obviously the views were sublime , but so relaxing to sit on your own beach and watch the Small boats and local fisherman go about their daily Iives,just felt very natural…. Would we do it again?A resounding yes…..

Wanna relax??? This is EVERYTHING!!! We had the nicest week at LHC. So relaxing. The most stressful decision we had to make was what time we wanted our meals served to us. And let’s talk about meals….. Homemade everything! Ernesto was a superstar. We even had a picky few that he catered to perfectly. I love an outdoor shower, and LHC had all outdoor BATHROOMS!! Amazing!! Highly recommend this for the most relaxing week. Turn your phone off, decompress , and disconnect. ????????️

We love love love this little island. I can’t say enough about the staff they are top notch!!! The only negative I have is the parent company does not provide necessary equipment or funds to make necessary repairs. The poor staff struggle no lawn mower, ping pong table put together with duct tape, refrigerator is in disrepair. The cart for luggage has a homemade wood tire on it.

Slice of heaven in Belize
Words cannot describe the perfection of LHC. Our family spent a week on the island, with ages ranging from 9 to 65. Every moment was sheer bliss. The views, the beautiful villas, the huge common area where we spent almost all of our time, the pool, the ocean etc. We did a couple of local excursions and almost daily trips to the mainland for ice cream, but mostly we wanted to just stay put on our island paradise. Michael, Jose, George & Kendra took incredible care of us, and they felt like family by the end of the week! Martha kept our villas squeaky clean and did extra laundry for our kids, and she couldn't have been nicer. We all agreed that this was the vacation of a lifetime--except that it is just too good to only do once in a lifetime, so we need to go back!

Luxury in the Tropics, Perfect place to relax with a good book.
Little Harvest Caye is a wonderful, private island retreat a short boat ride from the town of Placencia. With 5 bedrooms it is a great gathering spot for families or a group of friends. The food is delicious and creatively prepared, the staff is wonderful and accommodating. It is a self-contained tropical paradise, with its own beach and pool. Multiple activities can be scheduled in advance, and some excursions will even launch from the island. You will feel safe and isolated from the crowds. The town of Placencia had several restaurants, bars and shopping, but did not seem overly touristy. You should spend some time identifying activities and excursions that interest you in advance. The tradeoff with all the privacy is that you lose the ability to walk out your door and into town. Although, the shuttle by boat is quick, my cell carrier did not have coverage, so I could not summon the boat when I was ready to return. You lose some spontaneity in exchange for your privacy. There are five private bungalows so you can have privacy within your group, but since the island is 1.5 acres, there will not be a mystery as to where you are. All-in-all, a first-class luxurious experience, perfect if you’re looking to get away from the crowds.

Amazing stay
If you're looking for an incredible island paradise getaway with family or friends, look no further than Little Harvest Caye in Placencia, Belize. This private island is an absolute gem, boasting pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. From the moment you arrive on Little Harvest Caye, you'll be transported to a world of relaxation and indulgence. The staff (Enersto, Jorge, Jose, Jazz and Cindy) were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure your every need is taken care of throughout your stay. The accommodations on Little Harvest Caye are simply stunning. The island features a collection of beautiful villas, all equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. But the real highlight of the villas is their breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and the surrounding islands. By far one of the best things about Little Harvest Caye is the incredible food. The island has its own private chefs (Enersto and Jorge), who prepare a delicious array of dishes using locally-sourced ingredients. From fresh seafood, often caught fishing from the island, to decadent desserts, every meal is a unique treat for the senses. But what really sets Little Harvest Caye apart is its sense of exclusivity and privacy. With only a handful of villas on the island, you have the entire place to yourself. Whether you're lounging on the beach, taking a dip in the pool, fishing off the dock or exploring the surrounding waters, you'll

Can't say enough, highly recommend
Still feeling the afterglow of this amazing trip! Let's begin with Evelyn and Heidy, the amazing ladies who managed our reservation - from the start they made every step of the process easy and always followed-up in a timely manner. We had several special requests that they accommodated flawlessly and we really appreciate the amount of coordination it took to make this trip stress free and enjoyable from beginning to end. Once we got to the island we were greeted by the amazing staff - we are blown away by the level of service we received day in and day out. Let's start with Ernesto: every meal was executed perfectly, all special requests were handled with professionalism, and every dish he prepared was beyond delicious. We really want to thank him for all the love he put into everything! Up next is our girl Kendra - so wonderful! She took such great care of us and always had our rooms looking neat and tidy - she's such a hard worker and a lovely person. Next, we have to give a big shoutout to Jorge! Whatever we needed he was our man. Whether it was suggestions about which restaurants to go to or making pina coladas by the pool he was always ready for our next question or request. He really made us feel welcome! Lastly, our valiant ferrymen, Michael and Jazz! It would not have been the same trip without these two - we were always met with the same kindness whether it was 6am or 1am. They really took care of us and we can't thank them enough! Until we meet again!

You Really Can’t Imagine…
We read the reviews, we all thought it would be amazing…we had high expectations. Hell, we even decided to have our very simple, no frills wedding ceremony on the beach. We were not prepared… No matter what you read about the island, the staff, the beauty…YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY. Think the island is gorgeous…it’s better. Think the staff will be friendly and accommodating…they will be your family. Think the food will be great…it’s phenomenal. There is not an expectation that you could have that LHC will not exceed. This was the trip and wedding of a lifetime. We opted for no wedding package, and yet the staff insisted on making it special for us in every way. Decor made by their own hands, a special feast to meet the culture of our crowd, we even convinced them to take a little break dance with us for a bit. To Kendra, Oscar, Michael, Jose, and even Kempton who came over to help w the wedding feast…we love you. We appreciate everything you did for us and the love and passion with which you did it. Kendra…we’re waiting for you in San Diego whenever you’re ready for a visit. Special shout-out to Heidy who dealt with my Type-A, ultra planning self, every day for almost 6 months. None of it would have happened without you. To all you potential LHC’ers. Don’t hesitate. Get 12 of you together, split the cost, and go spend a week unlike anything you can imagine. LHC…WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

Check this one off the Bucket List!
Where do I begin? – Which is not a typical response when writing a review. Like most who think when renting a private island your expectations are high but never having the experience before, I’m not sure what criteria am I grading against? Well, for me it was a series of firsts (all good btw), upon our small plane landing in Placencia we were driven to a location dockside dropped off to be picked up by valet to take us to the island. Simple enough but in this case the valet service is nautical where you’re picked up by a friendly crew piloting a small comfortable boat, where you then take a leisurely voyage away from civilization gliding toward your private island maybe 10 minutes away but those last 5 minutes you see YOUR island, LHC grows bigger and bigger as you approach as the excitement builds. We disembark and our luggage is taken care of and delivered to your individual cabana. Now all I must do is walk 25 feet to enter into the beautiful, spacious palm frond covered roof’s central communal entertainment area which comprises of a beautifully wooden carved bar, freshwater pool, comfortable lounge area with couches and hanging chairs, pool table and large dining table where your meals will be served with your fellow guests. This area is open throughout our stay and available to all guests, so I was able to mingle as much or as little as I wanted. The cabanas were all that I could ask for, clean, comfortable beds. All cabanas are located with the ocean literally just feet from your patio door. If an ocean view is your thing, you can’t escape it. Like the others, my cabana had an ocean view from my interior room, a view from the bathroom, shower, and sink while shaving – all firsts! The proximity to everything made the trip effortless. A walk from my cabana to: breakfast, lunch, dinner, to the pool, to the beach all only meters away. My peeve with most resorts is the distance from room to the pool or beach is a milestone marker on my Fitbit, and if I forget something in my room – UGH! Not here, my cabana is only meters away. Yes, the food and staff is fantastic so my description is a little different from most reviews sharing details not usually referenced which I think makes LHC unique in the small ways that can make a vacation not just enjoyable but different in the best-est of ways!

Paradise
My business partner and I took 8 of our employees to Little Harvest Caye for a weeklong retreat and we just can't say enough how perfect it was! This little island is immaculate. The beds were comfortable, the food and drinks were amazing (thank you Oscar!), and the staff was incredible! Our concierge, Heidy had everything planned out for us and made everything so easy and convenient for us. There was so much to do there that we were never bored and only went to the mainland just a couple times to shop. If I had to come up with one negative, it would be that the beach wasn't really swimmable (lots of seagrass), but the pool made made up for that. We would all highly recommend this property!
