Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya

Striking the perfect balance between jungle retreat and beachside escape, this Belmond hotel on the Riviera Maya promises fun and relaxation. Spot coatis in the swaying palm trees, see iguanas roaming the resort, and say hello to Adelita, the resident macaw. The atmosphere is laidback luxury and distinctly Mexican, with local artwork on display and top-notch Mexican fare being cooked up at the Casa Mayor restaurant. Fill your days with visits to Mayan sites, relaxing at the Guerlain spa, cenote snorkelling, scuba diving or swimming with dolphins.
