Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya Reopens in May!
Nestled between 200 acres of lush tropical jungle and secluded white sands of Mexico's Caribbean coast, the legendary property has been completely reimagined with Mayan culture at its core - and is the first extensive transformation within Belmond's North America portfolio under LVMH ownership. This new chapter of Maroma reveals ten new waterfront suites, a nature-focused wellness experience, ground-breaking sustainability initiatives, and a new gastronomic era under Mexican-born Executive Chef Daniel Camacho.
Accommodations
Beautifully renovated and fully reimagined, the resort boasts light, airy, art-filled rooms by acclaimed designer Tara Bernerd. Villa Maroma, which features four suites and a private pool, is ideal for enjoying luxury seclusion with dearest and nearest. Some of the other 72 rooms and suites feature private plunge pools, terraces, and impressive vistas of the Mexican Caribbean.
A Wellness Destination with International Acclaim
Founded on the principles of nature and vitality, wellness at Maroma will take on a new dimension with the launch of the first Guerlain Spa in Latin America. Guests will feel the vital flow of healing energies from the jungle oasis and wide open sea in the newly renovated biophilic space. A temple for rejuvenation and a place of deep spirituality, treatment rooms will look out onto the jungle, while local design elements will be incorporated throughout geometric shapes and artisanal objects. Healing rituals are born from the power of nature, ancient practices, and that of the sacred Melipona bee, revered by the Mayans for over 3,000 years as a symbol of spiritual resonance. Centered around balance and harmony, Guerlain creates a unique spa menu with its iconic face and body treatments and exclusive experiences designed around the Mayan wellness philosophy, sound and healing rituals. A true holistic wellness retreat, including a selection of daily workshops in meditation, movement, and yoga to resynchronize body, mind, and spirit.
Colorful and Contemporary Cuisine
Mexican-born Executive Chef Daniel Camacho will continue his legacy of celebrating his country’s rich culinary diversity at Casa Mayor restaurant. Working on a sustainable provenance approach, 90% of ingredients will be sourced from Mexico and almost half from the Yucatán peninsula. A proud member of #PescaConFuturo, promoting sustainable fishery and aquaculture, freshly caught seafood will be sourced from Amigos de Sian Ka’an. Reinventing traditional Mexican cuisine, colorful dishes will range from seafood towers and Michoacan corundas, to Jalisco-style Birria and chocolate cake with Oaxacan black mole, flamed with house mezcal.
For the perfect sundowner, Bambuco offers a more casual affair, where seasonal herbal drinks made fresh from the garden sit alongside Mexican wines, tequila cocktails, and an extensive selection of Mezcal. The legendary beach hangout, Freddy’s Bar will continue to channel the vibrant spirit of the Riviera Maya, filled with live music and DJ sets, fresh seafood, and cocktails.
Biodiversity: it Begins with a Bee
Maroma has a long history of working with local organizations and will continue with Fundación Selva Maya and Mayahuum, to protect the endangered Melipona bee – fundamentally important to the ecology of the Yucatán peninsula. In an effort to go even further, a new partnership with Guerlain generates a project bold in vision and ground-breaking in its scope, that will amplify this commitment. Combining a legacy of caring, research, and community programs, the collaboration will include expanding resident hives, unveiling a new Melipona sanctuary for educational guest experiences, and introducing Guerlain's Bee School and "Women for Bees" initiatives into Yucatán communities. As well as forming part of the wellness experience, Melipona and other types of honey will be showcased on the culinary and mixology menus. Caring for the environment is a priority woven into every aspect of Maroma, with further initiatives, including turtle conservation and preserving the local flora and fauna, integrated into guest programming.
