Coming Soon: Incredible Private Island Vacation Rental in Placencia, Belize
ABOUT KANU
Off the coast of Placencia, Belize sits a rare coral island of incomparable beauty, its white sands sloping gently into the Caribbean Sea. After creating the ultimate escape for just one or two couples at a time withGladden Private Island, Private Islands CEO Chris Krolow and hisdevelopment partner David Keenerhave returned to this Central American vacation hotspot to deliver another stylish hideaway. Kanu Private Island, opening in the summer of 2019, is only 15 minutes by boat from the mainland, but offers a one-of-a-kind sanctuary.
“We are thrilled with the response to Gladden, but some of our clients also want to share the magic of the Placencia region with their friends and family,” Krolow said. “Kanu is the perfect solution, combining an idyllic private island setting and the ability to accommodate 10 adults plus 10 children in one booking.”
The 2.5-acre island ensures privacy with five individual 1,000-square-foot sleeping structures, each containing a breezily chic master bedroom suite with family-friendly loft and bamboo ceilings. A central palapa flanked by a swimming pool and sun loungers houses the communal kitchen, bar and living area to bring everyone together. The soothing design palette incorporates coral stone and reclaimed wood, complemented with accent shades of the sea and sun.
But the real star at Kanu is the dazzling ocean, visible at every turn. The underwater sights are equally impressive, thanks to fish-filled coral heads just offshore. 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. “We cannot wait to share Kanu and help our guests tailor the perfect experience,” Krolow said. “It truly is one of the most stunning islands we’ve found in Belize.”

The all-inclusive rate includes all transfers to and from the Belize International Airport, all accommodations, all meals prepared by your personal chef, all local beverages including local beer and spirits, personal concierge services, personal boat captain, on-site massages, housekeeping, Internet/Wifi, unlimited use of kayaks, paddle boards, catamaran, snorkeling gear and all other sporting equipment.
