Welcome to Mata Chica, our secluded and exquisite Beach Resort, a tropical dream set on a long stretch of pearly white sand. Each of the fourteen private air-conditioned villas, including two Luxury Caribbean Villas and our incredible Beach Mansion, represent a different tropical fruit such as Mango, Papaya, Watermelon or Banana, to name a few. You will feel the delicious taste of color in their murals, hand painted by internationally renown artist Lionel Dumas, enhanced by earthy furniture and colorful blankets derived from Mexico and Guatemala, while the spacious bathrooms with living plants create for you the sensation of taking a shower in the jungle.
Our majestic lobby is designed with elegance and style for your comfort. Sink into one of our exotic, comfortably cushioned sofa beds, draped with the finest fabrics from around the world, and enjoy your selection from our diverse library of books and magazines, or feel like a noble emperor relaxing in a tumble of overstuffed, exotic floor cushions for a game of chess or backgammon.
The new Inter Martini Lounge, in a separate room off our main lobby area, combines space age technology with a chic twist; high speed internet access, and DVD players with a selection of exciting movies, with a sophisticated Martini Lounge. Our guests are able to catch up with the real world while sipping a perfectly chilled martini of their choice.
Our entire bar area has been completely re-designed, incorporating an extension of our trademark thatch roof, large antique Guatemalan pillars, new comfortable bar chairs, and intimate lighting. These changes, together with our amazing collection of ambient house music create an even more memorable experience. For your comfort, bar service is available also at the beach. A new area sheltered from the general bar, with a billiard table provides additional sophisticated entertainment.
Succumb to the temptations of our exotic Jade Spa with its tropical scents and relaxing music, offering a wide range of treatments like Aromatherapy Massages, Hairmask Treatments, Exfoliating Sea Salt and Clay Massages or Ecocalm Essential Facials, all with natural ingredients from our jungles.
Carefully selected music flows from a superior sound system into the vast Mambo dining room, filled with contemporary paintings, candelabras, ceramic treasures, exotic hand crafted Belizean art and Central American mahogany furniture.

The atmosphere at Mata Chica is very much in harmony with the surrounding sea and palms. At the same time it is contemporary and luxurious. The crystal clear waters and the gentle ocean breeze of the Caribbean together with the finest pearly white beach along the coast of Ambergris Caye will fill your soul with a sense of freedom and relaxation.
At our resort, the morning begins with freshly squeezed tropical fruit juice and a steaming cup of Belizean coffee. After breakfast, relax in a lounge chair or hammock, get a spa treatment, or shop in San Pedro’s charming barefoot village where English is the official language. At night, lean back in our giant outdoor Jacuzzi for superior star gazing while sipping a tropical cocktail.
Other options to fill your days are snorkeling off our pier, taking our sea kayaks for a spin, or swimming with an amazing array of beautifully colored fish at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Right next door you will have the unique opportunity to swim with Nurse Sharks and Sting Rays. Click here for our Special Dive Package.
For the adventurous, dive the world famous “Blue Hole”, or experience nature on a wildlife jungle excursion, feel the spirit of Mayan sacrifices while floating through one of the magnificent cave systems of Central Belize, watch the gentle, endangered Manatee in their natural habitat, explore ancient Mayan ruins on river trips, or go on a luminescent night dive. Fish the flats for Tarpon and the elusive Bonefish, or the reef for Snapper. Even deep sea fishing for Marlin and Sailfish is possible. Our Front Office staff will be happy to arrange all this and much more. Please contact our Reservations Staff who will be delighted to answer your questions.
