A jungle and beach estate on the Riviera Maya that can be booked whole for up to 168 guests.
The Setting
Maroma, A Belmond Hotel (formerly Belmond Maroma Resort and Spa) sits on the Riviera Maya coast between Cancún and Tulum, backed by 200 acres of jungle and facing a reef rich stretch of the Mexican Caribbean. Cancún airport is about 30 minutes away and Playa del Carmen about 20.
The resort is a manageable size: 19 rooms, 50 suites and three villas, recently redesigned by Tara Bernerd. There are three outdoor pools, a Guerlain spa with a temazcal, and four places to eat and drink, including Casa Mayor for Mexican cooking and Woodend by Curtis Stone for the open fire grill. It is listed in The 50 Best Hotels, and its scale is what makes a full buyout realistic.
The day itself
Belmond lists eight event spaces for between 40 and 250 guests. Pescados Beach and Las Ranas Courtyard each take up to 250, Palapa Tolok up to 200, Ka'ax Garden in the jungle up to 175, and Coronas Garden and Cilantro Terrace up to 150. Acuarios Pool suits 60 and the indoor Violoncello room 40.
The hotel hosts symbolic, non-denominational religious, Mayan, Jewish, LGBTQ+ and civil ceremonies, with an in house events team and private dining menus built for you. Legal requirements apply to a civil ceremony, so ask the team about the paperwork, plus timings for music on the beach.
Where your guests stay
With 72 rooms, suites and villas, a mid sized wedding can stay together, and the whole resort can be taken for up to 168 guests. For a bigger list, ask the team about hotels nearby along the coast.
The team suggests easy extras around the wedding: a taco night with mariachis, a beach barbecue for the families or tequila tasting in private. Guests can snorkel the reef, swim in cenotes, join beach yoga or use the kids' club. Tulum is about an hour away and Chichén Itzá about two and a half.
Take the welcome night down to the beach for the barbecue, then save Ka'ax Garden in the jungle for the ceremony. Guests get two completely different sides of Maroma in two days.
