MATACHICA RESORT AND SPA

Peppered across a beautiful stretch of Ambergris Caye in Belize is a village-like collection of thatched casitas and villas. At Matachica Resort- enjoy stunning views of the Caribbean Sea from the hammock on your private veranda. Dipping your toe in the calm blue waters could lead to sea kayaking- snorkelling or scuba diving over one of the biggest reefs on the planet - a UNESCO-protected underwater playground. Back on dry land- Matachica can arrange everything from bicycles to helicopter rides- with excursions taking you on Mayan temple tours- swimming expeditions at Shark Ray Alley or day trips to scale the epic Angel Falls. When it comes to downtime- settle in for a massage at Jade Spa. With all treatments inspired by the beautiful Belizean landscape- the spa menu includes exotic papaya facials as well as the signature Mayan Coffee Scrub and Chocolate Wrap. Meanwhile over at Mambo and Mambo Bistro- the hotel chefs continue the celebration of tropical ingredients- serving dishes such as tuna tartare- lobster ravioli- and a deep blue seasonal seafood medley in the open-air restaurant. Best enjoyed with a refreshing cocktail from Danny s Tree Bar and a side of sunset views from the picture-perfect pier- Matachica serves up Belizean bliss every time. Matachica Resort and Spa is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
