Mexican luxury in stunning Riviera Maya

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

With an unassuming, tucked-away entrance, Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya is a quiet gem obscured by lush foliage and giant coconut palms. Guests take a short drive under a tropical canopy to discover a luxe, colonial-style hacienda with gorgeous manicured gardens surrounding a pool.

Two things make the arrival experience especially sweet — the welcome drink, a housemade margarita infused with licorice and honey-flavored liqueur, and a peek at the white-sand beach and endless blue horizon beyond it.

Located between the sometimes-touristy Cancun and the sleepy bohemian town of Tulum, the newly renovated luxury resort resides on a gorgeous stretch of beach surrounded by tropical jungle.

Our Inspector's Highlights

At 30,000-square-foot Maroma Spa by Guerlain, retreat into one of the nine spa cabins to partake in ancient healing rituals. The spa also offers outdoor wellness activities, an apothecary and a relaxation lounge inspired by Mayan mysticism and its link to the stingless Melipona bee.
With yoga retreats, meditation sessions and a 560-square-foot fitness center, the active set will have no trouble squeezing in the perfect workout.
The resort can arrange sailing expeditions, snorkeling trips to the world’s second-largest barrier reef nearby, golf and even swimming in the region's spectacular cenotes.
Experience Mayan cultural treasures through the filter of Belmond’s signature luxury — a helicopter tour to Chichén Itza starts on the beach and sweeps you off to the ancient ruins.
Designed with privacy in mind, Villa Maroma is the prime accommodation here, offering four suites and its own pool.
