No neighbours, no noise—on Gladden Private Island there is nothing but you, your loved one(s), a luxurious contemporary 3,000-square-foot villa and spectacular views. Located 20 miles off the coast of Placencia, Belize, Gladden is the furthest island from the mainland and closest to the protected side of the reef where the water is calmer and clearer than you'll find anywhere else.  

A dedicated team of staff, who stay on a nearby island behind Gladden, are on call 24/7 to ensure every comfort and craving is met. Meals can be served poolside, on the roof terrace, or directly on the beach and feature organic produce grown in Gladdens Garden, as well as fresh fish caught from surrounding waters.
