Overview
Join us for three weeks in our HQ, Belize. Bring your job, we will do the rest. Expect group events like family dinners, nights out in the local towns and game nights. On the weekends we explore the ocean with catamaran trips, island hopping, snorkelling and diving, as well as waterfall chasing, mayan ruin exploration and many more. All of this, fitting around your work day. Belize is one of the last remaining ‘undiscovered’ gems of the Caribbean and we think it’s time you discovered it! The Resort consists of several 1,000 sqft two bedroom apartments and condos spread across 13 acres of land stretching from the sandy white beach to the Placencia lagoon. Being surrounded by water on both sides and home to an Olympic-sized swimming pool, gives Umaya a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere; perfectly suited to the laid-back lifestyle of the Caribbean. Plus more water means more water sports and we offer kayaks, paddle boarding and boat trips. The local area is teeming with stunning wildlife; see if you can spot gibnuts, coatimundis, manatees and even dolphins from your balcony! On-site there is plenty to do and be involved in. We have a volleyball pitch, an incredible pool, perfectly located palapas for relaxing under, two restaurants, docks on both the lagoon and ocean and so much more. If you’re looking for that perfect work-life balance, Noma Collective Belize is the place to find it!

Trip tips
Bring a go with the flow attitude
Belize has a wonderful island life mentality and a motto in much of the country is 'Go Slow'. Things might not always go to plan, but we can assure you, you will have more beautiful experiences by learning to let loose and enjoy it for what it is.
Have heavy bandwidth requirements? Bring an ethernet cable
With Placencia being on a peninsular, sometimes we experience power outages. Due to this, we always provide personal data hotspots to ensure you're covered in the case of dropouts. If you have heavy bandwith requirement and need a strong direct line from the modem to your laptop we recommend bringing an ethernet cable and adaptor for your laptop.
