Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya is a storied hideaway nestled between 200-acres of lush tropical jungle and the secluded white sands of Mexico’s Caribbean coast. The legendary property entered a new era in August 2023 as the beating heart of the Riviera Maya, following a complete redesign by the internationally renowned design studio Tara Bernerd & Partners, with Mayan culture at its core. Home to the first Spa by Guerlain in Latin America, the new chapter of Maroma promises a pioneering wellness experience, with nature as its focus. The property has 72 rooms, suites and oceanfront villas, each brought to life by a blend of local materials, artisanal patterns and traditional craftsmanship. Four dining destinations include Woodend by Curtis Stone, centered around exceptional, wood-fired grill cuisine; Casa Mayor, where authentic Mexican cuisine is the main attraction; legendary beach hangout, Freddy’s Bar, showcasing signature cocktails and a locally sourced raw barca; and Bambuco, for creative mixology and an extensive selection of mezcal. Maroma’s celebration of nature and Mexican culture takes form in its exhilarating guest experiences, including Bee Therapy and Sound Healing with the sacred Melipona bee; the ancient, local practice of Mayan stargazing; and a Nixtamal journey, where guests can learn about the artisanal process of cooking corn and hand-making tortillas.
