NEW Modern Ocean Front Villa on Private Island
Welcome to Shadow Sands Villa! A brand new modern ocean front villa on a private island just 2 minutes from Placencia Village. Shadow Sands is an amazing 3 story 6,500 sq. ft. modern villa featuring 5-bedrooms, 6-bathrooms and huge fresh water pool overlooking the ocean located on Placencia Caye. Just a few hundred yards from the center of Placencia Village. The 5 large private air-conditioned bedrooms all have amazing ocean front views, large private patios and ensuite baths some with both indoor and outdoor showers. The home is located on 2 ocean front lots with the front of the home overlooking a private marina, great landscaping, privacy and 160 foot private beach along the calm Caribbean Sea.
You will be picked up at the Placencia Pier by one of our friendly staff in the villas shuttle boat to take the very short 1 minute boat ride (all in smooth protected waters) over to Placencia Caye and the villas private dock in the Placencia Caye Marina.
Step off the shuttle boat and leave all your cares behind and enjoy the meticulously manicured property with large palm trees, manicured landscaping and the privacy and wow factor of staying on a private island. Shadow Sands offers all the coolness of staying on a private island with all the luxuries you want like city power, city water and a boat with driver to take you back and forth to Placencia whenever you would like.
This uniquely designed modern villa offers the utmost in privacy with all rooms being located off an open air hallway, each having an ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning, large private patio and all facing the beach and Caribbean Sea.
When you walk across the elevated dock entrance into the home the large living room is to your left with one of the 5 private bedroom suits located to your right. When you enter the spacious air-conditioned open living room, dinning room and kitchen portion of the house that over looks, through the floor to ceiling glass, the massive pool, beach and Caribbean Sea you can not help but be impressed with the clean modern design and open feel that sets the tone for the rest of this large villa. The entire villa is tastefully decorated with pieces of local art and custom-built Belizean hardwood furniture. As you make your way through the living room you enter the large indoor dinning area and spacious well appointed chef kitchen complete with large eat in island and all stainless steel appliances.
Proceeding from the main area of the home you have a large covered outdoor living area over looking the pool and the ocean, complete with bar, beautiful landscaped courtyard, stainless steel gas grill and comfortable lounge area. A large covered outdoor dinning area, is also connected with the outdoor living area, which also overlooks the pool, beach and Caribbean Sea. This incredible outdoor living space makes for the perfect place to view the Maya Mountains and magical sunsets over the water.
As you pass through the open air living area you enter into the the other private primary bedroom located on the ground floor. Both of the primary bedrooms located on the ground floor are air-conditioned and have both indoor and out door showers in the large ensuite bathrooms.
Take the lovely covered open air stair case and you find your self on the second floor of the villa where you will find three private air-conditioned bedrooms (with private ensuite bathrooms), each off the light and bright covered open air hall overlooking the marina.
Located in the center of the 2nd floor is a huge covered open air living room complete with large walk around bar, flat screen smart TV, pool table and comfortable lounge chairs and furniture. This is perfect place to enjoy the refreshing trade wind breeze and watch the sunset over the beach and ocean.
Take the stairs on up to the 3rd floor where you will find a covered roof top terrace complete with relaxing lounge furniture. The panoramic views in all directions and consistent breezes makes this the perfect place to relax and see all the surrounding area and Placencia Village.
Your stay at the villa includes the dedicated services of a team of seasoned professionals. The onsite caretakers that live in the detached staff quarters will take care of your every need. From the skill of our personal chefs to the daily housekeeping and laundry service, our goal is to make your vacation effortless so you can simply savor every moment of your well-deserved escape.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is the second most popular tourist destination in the country. It is situated on a 16-mile-long peninsula that is surrounded by a 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 inland, Placencia provides easy access to many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, ziplining and cave tubing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops, bars and the famous Placencia Sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!
