Matachica Resort and Spa
A Secluded Beach Escape on Ambergris Caye, Belize Ambergris Caye is one of Belize’s most beloved destinations—and it’s easy to see why. With shimmering turquoise waters, soft white sand, and warm tropical breezes, this island paradise invites you to slow down and soak up the Caribbean magic. Whether you’re lounging in a hammock, snorkeling along the Belize Barrier Reef (the second largest in the world), or hopping between nearby cayes, this getaway is all about unwinding and adventure—no schedules, no stress. Disconnect to Reconnect This is your invitation to unplug completely. In the spirit of pure relaxation, the guest rooms here are intentionally technology-free—no Wi-Fi, television, or telephones—so you can fully disconnect and immerse yourself in your surroundings. Choose from a variety of serene accommodations nestled along the beach, each offering a distinct island vibe. No matter which you choose, your stay includes air conditioning, plush Matouk & Frette linens, luxurious Haeckels bath amenities, and a complimentary breakfast to start each day on a delicious note. Savor Coastal Flavors Dining is a highlight here. Enjoy fresh, locally inspired seafood with a Mediterranean twist at the on-site restaurant, or sip cocktails under the palms at the beach bar with stunning Caribbean Sea views. Indulge in signature dishes like caramelized mango shrimp, whole roasted fish, and decadent chocolate soufflé. Dietary needs? Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests are all welcome with ease. Play, Explore, and Unwind — in an Adults-Only Setting This adults-only property welcomes guests ages 16 and up, making it the perfect choice for a peaceful, grown-up retreat. After a restful night’s sleep, take advantage of complimentary bicycles, kayaks, and snorkel gear to explore both land and sea. Swim in the pool, unwind in the hot tub, or take in the gentle rhythm of the waves from the shore.

Chan Chich Lodge
Chan Chich is a lodge in the jungles of northwestern Belize. This is former Maya territory, and you can see traces of Maya civilization on the lodge’s property.
Maya Playgrounds
Clamber around sites like Altun Ha, Caracol, Xunantunich, and Lamanai — the stepped sides of these temples were made for energetic travelers, and the view from the top of a temple is hard to beat. On your hikes to see Maya sites, your naturalist guide will point out fascinating nativen plants and animals along the way.
Easy Adventures
Try tubing to see the rainforest at an easygoing pace. Go to the river that runs through the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve to visit the storied cave of Actun Tunichil Muknal. It’s not guaranteed to see rare animals on a nature hike, so take a trip to the Belize Zoo to see species like tapirs and jaguars. If you stay on Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker you’ll be a short boat ride from whale sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, dolphins, manatees, and tropical reefs.
