Matachica Resort and Spa completes multi-million dollar redesign
Long considered the hidden jewel of Belize, Matachica, the exquisite, award-winning beach resort has announced the completion of a multi-million dollar redesign and expansion. Heralded as the anti-generic beach resort, Matachica now offers an even more spectacular Caribbean getaway with a signature relaxed attitude and barefoot elegance.Matachica’s impeccably chic overall décor draws upon the owner’s passion for both the island’s native heritage and his extensive global travel. “When I first arrived on the island, I was instantly hooked by the effortless, laid-back way of life” explains proprietor Daniel Lighter. “This resort could not exist anywhere else in the world, because every aspect of your experience is drawn from, and a reflection of, the unique character of this beachfront paradise.”
Though only a short water-taxi ride from the lively shops and restaurants of San Pedro, Matachica is located on the secluded island of Ambergris Caye. From the moment you step onto our private dock, you will discover the breathtaking way Matachica has integrated itself into the lush azure surroundings. The resort itself sits on miles of natural white sand beach overlooking the crystal blue sea. If you are feeling adventurous, paddle one of the resort’s kayaks for a fifteen-minute ride to the second-longest living barrier reef on this planet. While these and scores of other activities, from scuba diving and snorkeling, to fishing, trekking and historic site excursions, are easily accessible, you may also choose to find a secluded hammock for quiet contemplation and to soak in the island rays.
Recent additions to the resort include 12 brand new and even larger casitas, as well as full upgrades to all existing rooms. In all, Matachica features 25 single casitas, and 1 two-bedroom villa, named our Luxury Caribbean Villa. Each villa is thatched roof, vibrantly-painted and feature private patios, fully updated bathrooms and original art. Though entirely air conditioned, many choose to throw open their windows, in order to experience the panoramic seafront views and enjoy the warm tropical breeze. Moreover, Matachica has added a spectacular infinity pool, a fleet of new kayaks and sailboats, and new equipment for day-trips and local adventures.
If you seek the ultimate indulgence, visit our Jade Spa for a rejuvenating massage and treatments using natural ingredients sourced locally from the Belizean jungles and sea. From banana and papaya body wraps, to traditional deep tissue massages, the spa is sure to offer you a unique experience with our own Belizean twist. Matachica resort also boasts Mambo, an acclaimed restaurant that offers local flavors and surprising combinations that will excite even the most seasoned palate. Enjoy the sunset and a cocktail from our Beachfront Bar or sit back and enjoy your favorite film from our extensive film library in our Cinema lounge.
Though Matachica possesses all of the comforts to enchant a cosmopolitan traveler – from Frette robes and Matouk linens, to Apple computer terminals and wireless internet access – the greatest gift the resort offers is the ability to make you forget. Forget city life, forget worries, and even forget what day it is. Our team of expertly trained staff provides impeccable service, unique local knowledge and an unparalleled attention-to detail, making every trip a personalized and perfect escape.
