"73-room Belmond on Maroma Beach — the Caribbean beach often ranked among the world's best. Reopened December 2023 after a year-long restoration."
Belmond Maroma was originally Maroma Resort & Spa, which opened in 1995 on Maroma Beach — a Riviera Maya beach repeatedly identified by Travel + Leisure and other travel-press surveys as among the world's most beautiful — and was acquired by Belmond (LVMH's heritage-hotel collection) in 2017. A comprehensive year-long restoration closed the property in late 2022, and Belmond reopened in December 2023 with completely refurbished rooms, a redesigned spa, and an updated culinary programme.
The 73 rooms split between Garden View Casitas, Beachfront Casitas, and the multi-bedroom Casitas (one- to four-bedroom configurations). The post-restoration interiors are by Tara Bernerd & Partners — the design firm behind several of the more refined recent luxury hotel restorations — with Maya-influenced materials, hand-carved local stone, and the integrated tropical garden architecture that has been Maroma's identity since 1995. Every room has direct beachfront or garden views.
The grounds — the 8-acre property with the Maroma Beach allocation, the Spa (post-restoration, with new architecture by Bernerd), the gardens, the heated swimming pool, and the boutique — are the property's defining advantage. The post-restoration upgrades to the spa and the dining are particularly substantial, and the property's pre-restoration loyal-returning-guest base has reportedly returned to confirm the maintained character.
Dining is at three main restaurants. El Restaurante is the headline modern Mexican fine-dining. Casa Maroma is the all-day garden-side restaurant. The Beach Bar is the casual lunch and cocktail venue. The wine and tequila programmes are comprehensive. Service is the consistent Belmond standard delivered by a heavily Mexican team that mostly returned to the property after the restoration. Belmond Maroma is the post-restoration Riviera Maya luxury answer for travellers who want the most beautiful Caribbean beach setting and Belmond's heritage-restoration discipline.
The Riviera Maya honeymoon at Maroma Beach. Book a Beachfront Casita. The Maroma Beach is the property's defining advantage — the white sand and turquoise water are exceptional even by Caribbean standards. El Restaurante dinner; Spa Maroma; the beachfront sunrise yoga. The post-restoration polish (December 2023 reopening) delivered the upgrade the property's character needed.
For anniversaries the multi-bedroom Casitas are the right scale. The Maroma Beach setting and the Belmond planning team's discretion produce a particularly polished milestone-anniversary stay.
Spa Maroma's post-restoration architecture and treatment programme combine Maya-influenced wellness traditions with international luxury spa standards. For travellers who want the wellness component to be culturally grounded with the Caribbean-beach setting.
