Belize’s First Eco-Friendly Resort Designed Green from the Ground Up

Placencia, Belize  (May 1, 2008)—Ravenspur Investments Inc. today unveiled plans for Palmetto Bay Resort at Maya Beach, a secluded tropical hideaway in Southern Belize situated on 16-miles of white sand beaches and complemented by stunning scenery of the Maya Mountains. Palmetto Bay will introduce unprecedented luxury beachfront real estate and Four Star amenities to the Placencia Peninsula of Southern Belize, and will be the first development in the Caribbean designed ‘green’ from inception.
The first phase of the gated resort, which is currently under construction, will be comprised of 36 whole ownership, luxury beachfront condominiums ranging from approximately 1,100 to 4,500 square feet, each with unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea and extensive outdoor living space. Prices will start in the low $300,000s USD.  The international sales and marketing campaign for Palmetto Bay Resort commences today.
The elegantly designed turnkey one- two- and three-bedroom residences are spread through two buildings.  Interiors are inspired by the rich Caribbean heritage while the resort’s outdoors encapsulates the area’s natural beauty, including a lush rainforest and exotic flora.  Designer Julieanne Dobson—renown work on Francis Ford Coppola’s Turtle Inn— will create the interiors and intimate outdoor settings with use of the finest natural materials, including warm woods and natural stone, vibrant contemporary textiles, and niche lit Mayan and African inspired art.
Ownership at Palmetto Bay Resort will include world-class amenities such as fitness facilities, conference rooms with wireless internet; 24-hour reception and security; fully equipped luxury kitchens with gourmet utensils and stainless steel appliances; balcony barbecues; and lush, mature landscaping with use of indigenous fruit trees and plants.
