Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa

Nestled on the stunning Riviera Maya, just 30 miles south of Cancún, Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa offers a unique blend of luxury and natural beauty. Designed by renowned architect Jose Luis Moreno, the resort features buildings crafted from local materials like palm and stone, seamlessly integrated into the lush jungle landscape. Opened in 1995, the resort's design process was unconventional, with Moreno sketching his ideas in the sand. Over the years, it has evolved under the ownership of Belmond Ltd., which has enhanced the property with oceanfront spa villas, expanded dining options, and new pools, all while maintaining a connection to local craftsmanship. This idyllic retreat is perfect for tourists seeking relaxation and researchers interested in sustainable architecture and local culture.
