Where to stay in La Mata
La Mata is a small beach resort, so staying close to the seafront puts you right in the heart of things. Try Beachfront for easy access to the weekly market and the beach, or look for options around Town Centre if you want to be a short walk from local shops and cafes.
Accommodation here tends to book up in summer, so it's worth reserving ahead if you're visiting during peak season. A mix of apartments and small hotels lines the main strip, giving you plenty of choices whatever your budget.
