Set between the Yucatán jungle and the Caribbean Sea, Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, is a masterfully restored sanctuary. Originally built in the 1970s by José Luis Moreno, its soulful architecture has been reinterpreted by Tara Bernerd & Partners, a seamless blend of cultural heritage and modern refinement.

With just 72 rooms, suites, and villas, Maroma feels intimate yet expansive, each space a canvas of local artistry. Think hand-painted tiles by José Noé Suro, earthy Saltillo floors from Guadalajara, and soft, curving forms that mirror the rhythm of the jungle outside. Three volcanic Sukabumi-tiled pools shimmer in cenote-inspired hues, inviting quiet reflection. Culinary direction is equally thoughtful: at Casa Mayor, Daniel Camacho elevates Mexican tradition with bold, seasonal flavors, while Curtis Stone channels familial warmth and Mayan roots at Woodend. Anchoring it all is the Maroma Spa by Guerlain, where native botanicals and time-honored rituals create a deeply grounded wellness journey.
