History and Story
Our history began with a love story. In 1976, a Mexican architect was flying over the jungle-fringed, powder-white sands of the Riviera Maya when he realized he was smitten. Determined to live there, he bought the unnamed bay from a coconut plantation owner. Four years later, he fell in love again, this time with a visiting American writer. After a whirlwind romance, the couple settled down in a small dwelling by the beach. When, in 1988, Hurricane Gilbert destroyed their original one-room getaway, they took the opportunity to design a new home, working with a family of Mayan masons – true believers of the Sacred Geometry – to align the white stucco buildings with energy fields. This same family continued to work with the couple when they transformed their home into the first luxury boutique hotel in the area. Fittingly, the hotel opened on Valentine’s Day, 1995. Our company took the reins in 2002, creating further enchanting spaces such as the spectacular Kinan Spa, also designed with help from Mayan masons. Explore our resort and you’ll soon succumb to the heavenly setting, just as the architect did. From the moment you awake to a glorious sunrise, there’s undeniable Mayan magic in the air.
2005 saw the opening of the 7,000 square foot Kinan Spa and the Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa has gone on to gain a reputation as one of the best in the world, warmly welcoming loyal repeat guests and newcomers year round.
