  • Unique Design and Intimate Ambiance: Belmond Maroma stands out as a gem among Riviera Maya resorts. Designed by the renowned Tara Bernerd, the resort exudes elegance and sophistication in every detail. From the layout of the property to the artisanal craftsmanship found in every room, Belmond Maroma offers a one-of-a-kind experience that sets it apart from the rest. Each room invites you first into a private patio, before you enter the main room itself. It is hands-down one of my favorite features of this property and the level of service this thoughtful layout invites you to experience.

  • Personalized Service and Attention to Detail: Picture this: as you step into your private room at Belmond Maroma, you're greeted by a unique layout that includes a private patio before the main room. This thoughtful design ensures privacy and tranquility. Imagine waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee delivered to your private patio each morning by your personal host in locally made talavera. With its thoughtful design and attentive staff, Belmond Maroma ensures that every moment of your stay is filled with comfort and luxury, allowing you to enjoy moments like the delivery of freshly brewed coffee each morning without any disturbance to your morning routine or meditation. Your personal host discreetly leaves the locally crafted coffee on your patio, with your choice of creamer/milk, and honey made from their own bees, allowing you to savor every sip as you soak in the sounds of the crashing waves and the salty sea air.

  • Stunning Beach Venues: Belmond Maroma Resort offers an array of breathtaking venues for your dream wedding ceremony and reception. Begin your journey together with a picturesque ceremony on the soft sands of Pescados Beach, framed by the sparkling waters of the Caribbean Sea. Imagine exchanging vows as the gentle ocean breeze rustles through your hair, creating an unforgettable backdrop for your special day. Of all the properties we have had the pleasure of visiting, Maroma’s beaches have been the best. The resort addresses the challenge of sargassum, a type of seaweed, by implementing effective mitigation strategies to maintain pristine sands and clear turquoise waters. This attention to detail is crucial for couples seeking an idyllic backdrop for their wedding celebrations, ensuring a visually appealing environment free from unsightly distractions that unfortunately many other resorts have constructed as their solution to the sargassum.

  • Air-Conditioned Indoor/Outdoor Palapa: For couples seeking a blend of elegance and comfort, the resort's newly renovated air-conditioned indoor/outdoor Palapa provides the perfect setting. Say "I do" beneath its traditional thatched roof, or in the nearby Rana’s courtyard surrounded by lush tropical foliage and the soothing sounds of nature. Whether you prefer an open-air ceremony or the sheltered intimacy of indoor seating, the Palapa offers flexibility to accommodate your vision.

  • Cilantro's Terrace: For those looking for a sophisticated restaurant style reception, or to start your wedding celebrations with a rehearsal dinner or conclude with a send-off brunch, Cilantro's Terrace is a beautiful option. Perched atop a scenic vantage point, this charming outdoor space offers panoramic views of the resort grounds and the azure waters beyond. Toast to your love story surrounded by the beauty of Riviera Maya, as the sun sets over the horizon or rises to greet a new day.

  • Ideal Size for Your Celebration: Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger affair, our personal recommendation for Belmond Maroma Resort would be to stick around 100-150 guests for ease. From welcome dinners on Cilantro's Terrace to send-off brunches overlooking the ocean, the resort offers versatile venues to suit your every need. With 72 rooms on property, this would also be the ideal number to offer a full property buyout for your wedding guests and the ultimate wedding weekend experience.

Your wedding weekend in Mexico should be nothing short of extraordinary, and Belmond Maroma offers the perfect blend of luxury, romance, and natural beauty for your Riviera Maya celebration. Let us help guide you on this journey to saying, “I Do” in Mexico!
