An Angling Experience With A Touch of Luxury and Full-Service Marina
Southern Belize’s waters teem with big game: dorado by the school full, sailfish that love live bait, and on the handline, snappers to satisfy any catch-of-the-day cravings. It’s why anglers (and non-anglers alike) are drawn to the Placencia Peninsula, a quieter 16-mile stretch of land that culminates with a charming, culture-ridden namesake village. En route at Mile 20, you’ll find Itz’ana Resort & Residences for travelers drawn to the Central American nation’s array of coral reefs, marine reserves, majestic Maya sites, and—you guessed it—sportfishing in Belize. With a full-service marina and accommodations ranging from rooms to villas and sweeping penthouses, we proudly welcome Itz’ana Resort & Residences as a Platinum Sponsor for the 15th Annual Belikin Blue Water Classic 2024!
BYOB: Bring Your Own Boat
First joining the hospitality industry in Southern Belize as a 48-room hotel that pays homage to its tropical setting with an evocative color palette and locally sourced materials, Itz’ana Resort has since grown to introduce much more to its offerings. Fit for families, solo travelers, or group travel, Itz'ana is the perfect launching pad for fishing, diving, snorkeling, and leisurely sailing through some of the most pristine waters in the world. Not to mention, the full-service marina features a watersports activity center, refueling station, and supply store—servicing the residences that feature boat docks on the lagoon.
With 18 slips ready for boats up to an 8' draft and 65' in length, the Itz'ana Marina will be the home base for your marine explorations. If you’re traveling to Belize just to fish, feel free to BYOB with a place like Itz’ana—Bring Your Own Boat, that is. Phase one of their newly constructed marina features 4 slips with wifi, restrooms, 24/7 security, a concierge, a gift shop, on-boat food service, and even a to-go menu with curated options prepared in-house by their chefs!
