The rooms are outfitted in an understated Mexican style, with tile floors, exposed beams, and touches of stucco.
“its rooms are filled with the best of Mexican craftsmanship, featuring earthy textiles and splashes of colour inspired by swaying palm fronds and the cerulean of the nearby pools and ocean.”
“the reimagined hotel retains the free-flowing, white-stucco aesthetic of Moreno’s original vision.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds sit buffered by coastal mangroves, with the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef resting just offshore for diving and snorkeling.
The rooms
Hand-painted clay tiles and woven textiles run throughout the rooms, and select beachfront suites add private plunge pools.
The pools and yoga studio
Bring a swimsuit.
Three outdoor pools are lined with green volcanic Sukabumi tiles, and the movement studio hosts daily yoga classes.
The spa
Treatment cabins open onto private garden terraces, and an on-site herbal apothecary prepares custom botanical balms.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Woodend by Curtis Stone
Curtis Stone cooks fresh seafood over open embers in an oceanfront dining room opening right onto the beach.
With an unassuming, tucked-away entrance, Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya is a quiet gem obscured by lush foliage and giant coconut palms.
At the table
Bambuco serves cocktails and mezcal beside geometric tilework, and Freddy’s Bar pours drinks under an open-air beach palapa.
How it began
Architect José Luis Moreno first spotted the shoreline from a helicopter in 1976, building a private home before welcoming guests.
“Rooms are generous in size and are filled with sunlight, let in through large windows.”
