In the beating heart of the Riviera Maya, a secret haven awaits. Maroma, a Belmond Hotel, blends Mayan mystique with refined vitality. Here is where the true spirit of the Riviera Maya was born, between the labyrinthine jungle and the wide-open Caribbean Sea.
The recently transformed hideaway boasts light, airy, art-filled rooms created by acclaimed designer Tara Bernerd. The majority of accommodation offers sea views and refined interiors rich in natural, local materials. Originally built by believers in Sacred Geometry, the architecture and artisanal features blend with the energy of the surrounding nature. Here, mind, senses and soul are in harmony. Days can be as relaxing or action-packed as wished, from lounging on the beach or pedaling off on a bike ride to parasailing, horse riding and diving over the magnificent reef. Tailor-made activities to explore the Yucatan Peninsula range from snorkeling in long-worshipped cenotes to exploring Mayan pyramids.
Beachfront restaurants offer zingingly fresh, mouthwatering cuisine focusing on local ingredients such as shellfish and succulent fruits. The exciting bars serve up artisanal mezcals, rare Mexican wines and a convivial, sociable atmosphere. Children are welcomed with family-friendly accommodation and a host of organized activities. This is a place to feel more alive than anywhere else.
Though concealed and enveloped in nature, Maroma is easily accessed from Cancun Airport, gateway to Mexico. It is close to prominent archaeological ruins such as Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum, as well as one of the world's best dive sites, Cozumel.

Local Area Attractions
Explore One of the Wonders of the World
Chichén Itzá, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, served as a political, economic and ceremonial center of the Mayan civilization. This is probably the most important example of Mayan culture in the Yucatan Peninsula and home to the most impressive buildings of any ancient Mayan civilization. If you only do one day trip during your vacation, this should be the one. Complement this tour with a visit to Valladolid, a picturesque colonial town. Chichén Itzá is located 124 miles (200 kilometers) west of our resort.
Valladolid & Ek' Balam
Expect to be charmed by this colonial city followed by a visit to Ek' Balam, one of the major Mayan archaeological sites in the Yucatán. Prepare to be immersed in the breathtaking beauty from the top after climbing the main temple of this enchanted place.
Valladolid is deeply Mayan, from the guttural consonants of the language heard on its streets, to the many women still wearing the traditional huipil (white cotton dresses adorned with bright, flowered embroidery). Expect to be charmed by this colonial city, which was once a capital under the Spanish supremacy. Ornate architecture, vibrant markets, and a Franciscan convent are all worth exploring. Around 30km north of Valladolid is the major Mayan archaeological site of Ek’ Balam, meaning ‘black jaguar’. Enter through a magnificent arch and let the mysticism and energy of this ancient city captivate you while discovering ceremonial buildings, the Oval Palace, an acropolis featuring fascinating wall paintings and a fair-sized ballgame pitch.

Tulum is located 51 miles (80 kilometers) south of our resort. Make it exclusive and visit Tulum after hours, when the crowds have gone home. Besides the breathtaking Mayan ruins, Tulum offers hippie-chic hangouts, jungle-shrouded restaurants and white sand beaches.
