Placencia: The Ultimate Belize Base For Your Lobsterfest Adventure

Belize Laru Beya Resort Placencia Peninsula

If a beauty contest for crustaceans was held today, odds that a lobster would be named most attractive are very low. Lobsters don’t produce pearls like their oyster cousins, but they do have a distinction that makes them unique, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): “researchers have discovered that lobsters [aren’t scavengers]. They catch mainly fresh food (except for bait) which includes fish, crabs, clams, mussels, sea urchins, and sometimes even other lobsters!”

Of course, if you’re a lobster lover, you don’t care what lobsters eat because your goal is to be the consumer of the tender meat that is prized by global gourmands, and while heart-stopping prices at restaurants and sea food shops in your area may not always fit your budget, there is a place and a time you’ll want to know more about: Belize’s annual Lobsterfest.

Should you devote an entire vacation to satisfying your craving for the tender meat of hefty lobsters prepared to perfection by expert chefs? The answer is yes…because you can headquarter on Belize’s Placencia Peninsula where Lobsterfest 2025 is expected to be so well attended, making plans right now means you won’t be left out.

Stay where you feast, lobster lover

Laru Beya Resort, located on the Placencia Peninsula shoreline, morphs into a lobster paradise between July 4th and 6th, and folks are already breaking out their lobster bibs in anticipation of what’s expected to be the best festival in years. While there are three major celebration hubs, “Placencia’s reputation for hosting a unique lobster bacchanal is so widespread, residents won’t go elsewhere,” according to Belize Hub, the online publication that covers the heart of all things fascinating throughout Belize.

Staying at Laru Beya gives you the advantage of proximity, so every event—from concerts and dancing to water sports and competitions—will be just a short walk away from your digs, including the crowning of Miss Lobster Festival 2025. Witness awards are given to fishermen landing the largest specimens, and since chefs pull out all stops to prepare innovative lobster recipes, you can indulge your inner lobster fanatic nonstop.

Leave the details to your resort host

Because Laru Beya staffers want you to have an opportunity to focus on your consumption objective, the resort’s all-inclusive package covers every aspect of your stay, and given the time of year, rates are especially low.
