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.

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.
