Exclusive Caribbean hideaway on a secluded white-sand beach in Ambergris Caye, Belize.

Matachica Resort and Spa is a stylish luxury resort with a laidback atmosphere. Each of the 26 thatched cottages and villas is boldly painted in bright colours of tropical fruits.

The interiors, where décor is more subtle with white walls creating a bright, cool and spacious feel, are individually-decorated with hand-painted murals, and furnishings collected from Mexico and Central America. The result is an exceptional comfortable space brimming with character. All have roomy bathrooms with hand-painted Mexican tiles, and a veranda with hammocks.

The large main lobby has a spacious lounge and reading room with comfy sofas and soothing music. The spa offers massages combined with aromatherapy or a body mask and other beauty treatments.

There is also a large freshwater infinity pool and hot tub. The resort can arrange diving, snorkelling and fishing at extra cost, while there are complimentary kayaks, dinghies, surfboards and snorkelling gear. You can also borrow a bike to explore the surroundings.
