Gladden Private Island

19 Miles Offshore, Placencia, Stann Creek District

About us

A swirl of turquoise and aquamarine lagoons cradle Gladden, an island fringed with coral and white sand in the heart of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System.

This island jewel harbors your own private sanctuary, a casually elegant villa designed for just one couple, with the all-inclusive service of a luxury resort. There is a second master suite should you wish to share Gladden with friends or family. Our staff resides unseen on the smaller island across the Gladden lagoon, ready to respond to any request at a moment’s notice. A “privacy meter” indicates if a member of the team is on the main island for any reason, because we want our guests to feel free to be themselves.

While most private island experiences require jetting to the far reaches of the globe, Gladden delivers the natural beauty and tranquility of a Polynesian atoll with a minute travel time of less than four hours from Miami.
