Description
Mata Chica is located 5 miles north of San Pedro surrounded by lush tropics and marine wildlife and within easy reach of Belize's Great Barrier Reef, one of the finest diving spots in the world.
Mata Chica has a very individual Caribbean style and is made up of 14 brightly coloured thatched roof villas with contemporary rustic-style furnishings, spacious bathrooms, air conditioning and hammocks. This intimate hideaway is so secluded that it can only be reached by boat from the town of San Pedro.
The atmosphere is very relaxed with large open living areas and a lovely award-winning restaurant serving fresh seafood, amongst other dishes. The beachfront bar offers the perfect place to unwind or why not watch a film in the Cinema-Martini lounge.
Indulge in a rejuvenating massage and spa treatments at Mata Chica’s Jade Spa, swim with nurse sharks, turtles, and stingrays or enjoy a variety of day excursions including snorkelling, scuba diving, river trips to the Mayan ruins and fishing.

When to travel
Ambergris Caye, like most of Belize, has a sub-tropical climate. There are two seasons in Belize- winter (Mild and relatively dry) and summer (Warm and occasionally hot and humid. The official monsoon rainy season is June through August). Summers in San Pedro Town and the other Cayes strung out along the Barrier Reef are much milder than on the Belizean mainland, due to the proximity to the Sea and the cooling effects of the easterly trade winds and cloud cover which hold temperatures in the high 20's/ low 30's.
The busier time of the year for travellers to Belize is November to May, which are the winter months of the Northern Hemisphere. Still, many visitors prefer the more quiet days of the summer months from June to October for their vacation in Belize. Both times of the year have their own unique attractions.
