A real escape

El Matuy was perfect for a real escape. Situated on a pristine beach, disconnected from the world, with no electricity or wifi for distractions. So close to the beach, you have only the sound of the waves to help you relax, or to enjoy one of the hammocks. The food was delicious, fresh and enjoyed in a wonderfully relaxed environment.

Entspannung pur

Fantastisches Resort am Ende von Palomino. Ruhe und Einsamkeit pur. Die Cabañas sind sehr hübsch eingerichtet mit großer Veranda und verfügen über ein Bad im Freien. Strom und wifi gibt es nur an der Rezeption. Ein wunderbarer Rückzugsort zum Entspannen.
