Balam Beach Villa - Modern 4Bed Oceanfront w/ Pool

Welcome to Balam Beach Villa! A 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom beachfront villa with private chef included.

Balam Beach Villa is a stunning 3-story modern masterpiece set on a spacious private beachfront lot in the heart of Maya Beach — where industrial-chic architecture, clean lines, and an open, light-filled layout create a sophisticated yet deeply relaxed retreat that is impossible not to love. Expansive windows invite natural light and frame seamless views of the beach and Caribbean Sea from virtually every room, while the minimalist aesthetic lets the breathtaking natural surroundings take center stage.

The ground floor sets an impressive tone with an open-concept kitchen, dining area, and living space anchored by a large TV and wide al fresco sliding glass doors that open the entire width of the back of the home — erasing the boundary between indoors and the spectacular pool deck and beach beyond. The large pool with sunbed loungers and a daybed sits directly at the edge of the sand, providing unobstructed views of the Caribbean from morning to sunset. Two beautifully appointed ground floor bedrooms with private en-suite bathrooms complete this level — Bedroom 3 with a king bed overlooking the pool deck, and Bedroom 4 with a cozy queen, ideal for children or a single adult.

Up the stairs to the second floor, two large primary suites with king beds and en-suite bathrooms each enjoy sweeping ocean views and spacious covered private patios — ideal retreats after a day on the water. A cozy lounge area at the top of the stairs offers a quiet reading nook or extra gathering space for the group. The third-floor rooftop deck is the crown jewel — a sprawling open-air terrace with a large sectional sofa, panoramic views of the ocean, lagoon, and Maya Mountains, and the perfect setting for sunset cocktail hour.
Balam Beach Villa is managed by Gecko Vacation Rentals.

**CHEF SERVICE**
Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed. Each chef day includes 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared fresh for your group. For example: a 6-night stay includes 3 chef days; an 8-night stay includes 4 chef days. You will only need to reimburse the chef directly for the cost of groceries. Nothing is marked up, and the chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions, and copies of all receipts. Food costs typically run $45–$50 per person per day based on the preset menu. Need the chef more often? Additional chef days can be added for $125 per day.

Grocery stocking service is also included with your stay. There is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive. The chef will purchase your groceries, and you only reimburse the items bought.

(+) Want to take it a step further? Enhance your chef service with our All-Inclusive Food Package for $75 per person per chef service day. The package covers all 3 meals, a fruit bowl, limited non-alcoholic beverages, and one lobster meal (in season) — with no additional grocery reimbursement required. Alcohol packages are also available. Ask our team for full details when booking.

**CONCIERGE SERVICE**

Placencia is relaxed, uncrowded, and refreshingly authentic — far less congested than Ambergris Caye/San Pedro.
