February 28, 2020

 

Set among verdant jungle beside a white, sandy beach, Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa is one of Mexico’s top luxury hotels. Here you can start the day with yoga and end with a session in a traditional temazcal sauna.

 

Spend lazy days in ocean and poolside restaurants or stroll through flower-filled gardens where parrots and butterflies perch. Explore some of Mexico’s great heritage sites, dive in mysterious underwater caves or shop till you drop in Cancun.

 

Different. Better. Special

 

Staying with Belmond turns a trip to the Riviera Maya into an unforgettably unique escape. Here are just some of their amazing features:

 

Observation Tower

 

Climb the observation tower for a magnificent 360-degree view of this luxury resort. Be serenaded by the sounds of the jungle as you enjoy a private dinner. Or gaze down through the treetops while the sun slips beneath the horizon.

 

Walking Paths

 

A labyrinth of paths wind through the resort’s lush jungle. Take a stroll under leafy palms and red-barked trees, past vibrant foliage. Marvel as brightly colored butterflies dance around, and parrots soar overhead.

 

Boutique

 

Set in a traditional thatched-roof casita, Belmond’s Boutique sells authentic Mexican mementos, art and fashion. Pick up the perfect souvenir, as well as useful items including sunscreen, cameras and sunglasses.

The Bertrand Routine

 

Throughout the resort you’ll find original paintings created by the French artist Bertrand Castelli. Picasso’s former assistant was once our resident artists. Each day he began with an ocean swim before putting paint to canvas. Follow in his daily routine and kickstart your day in artistic style.

 

Cenote Snorkeling

 

Cenotes are freshwater sinkholes carved by underground rivers, believed to be a ‘gateway to the underworld by the Mayans’. Snorkel beneath the emerald waters and along the underground channels through magnificent limestone formations.
