The rooms at Matachica are uniquely decorated with hints of Central American motifs and original art collected from around the world including several pieces from Belgian artist Peter Terrin. We wanted to ensure an intimate and local feel in the villas, which are vibrantly colored and topped with authentic thatched roofs. Each villa features mosaic bathrooms, Frette linens and duvets, hammocks from Guatemala and private patios with DEDON furniture and Tucci umbrellas. Each room is screen-free to encourage guests to completely unplug, unwind and re-connect to what matters most in life.
For an even more indulgent stay, guests can stay in the new Luxury Beachfront Villas, complete with a private Jacuzzi overlooking the beach.
From the moment visitors arrive at Matachica’s private pier, they will instantly begin to unplug and unwind as they take in the white-sand beach, lush tropical greenery and the unique beauty of the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Whether seeking underwater adventures, the pampering of a full-service spa, or an intimate getaway with someone you cherish, Matachica Resort & Spa is the ultimate escape.
