BELMOND MAROMA RESORT & SPA

Days take on a leisurely rhythm, relaxing by the three swimming pools, sunbathing on the almost-deserted beach or diving just off the shore to explore deep-water shipwrecks and the kaleidoscopic colours of the area's spectacular coral reefs. Wander along the resort's forested pathways, spotting parrots, butterflies and snoozing iguanas, venture further afield to explore the local cenotes (freshwater swimming holes) or head into Tulum, one of Mexico's hippest beach towns.
