Maroma, Mexico, Overview

MAROMA - REVIEW

Set on the fringes of 300 acres of jungle and coconut plantations, Maroma is surrounded by lush tropical trees and plants and is fronted by one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in the Caribbean (voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world by the Travel Channel). A peaceful haven in an otherwise very developed area of the coast, Maroma feels a million miles away from the fleshpot of Cancun. This is the way to enjoy the Caribbean coast without having to endure the spring breakers and raving masses. Architect Jose Luis Moreno, the brains behind the project, described the development as a 'protest against mediocrity' (only one-tenth of the property on which Maroma is built is developed - the rest is jungle). This may sound pretentious, but it’s nice to know that some people care about the environment.

In our opinion Maroma is the most special luxury beach resort in the Yucatan - perfect for a honeymoon or rejuvenating both body and spirit - you can choose from an array of massages, facials, Reiki, Ayurveda or yoga.
