In a much-anticipated return in the summer of 2023, Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya, unveiled its newly reimagined property, now featuring the first-ever spa by Guerlain in Latin America. The Maroma Spa by Guerlain introduces a transformative haven that blends French Maison’s wellness expertise with a profound connection to nature, marking a milestone in the region’s spa offerings.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Riviera Maya, Maroma Spa by Guerlain draws inspiration from the Mayan culture, seamlessly integrating ancient practices and the essence of the natural elements. The spa, a temple for transformative spirituality, introduces an exclusive menu of innovative Guerlain treatments, including the renowned “Bee Healing Ritual,” which harnesses the healing powers of honey from Guerlain’s Abeille Royale collection.

Rooted in the principles of nature and vitality, the spa’s offerings are a symphony of exclusive destination-inspired treatments. Guests can indulge in the refreshing and moisturizing “Purifying Cenote” treatment, inspired by the mystical cenotes of the Riviera Maya, or experience the holistic “Talisman of Immunity,” a ritual combining the Black Orchid and the revered Mexican sacred stone, black obsidian.

Holistic well-being experiences at Maroma Spa by Guerlain extend to the buzzing frequency of bees and the healing vibrations of sound therapy. Guests can partake in “Underwater Meditation,” an immersive Temazcal ceremony, or a constellation massage aligned with the cosmos. The spa also offers daily workshops in mindfulness, movement, and yoga, along with an apothecary where guests can learn to identify and incorporate healing herbs into therapies.

Federico Echaiz, Area Managing Director and General Manager of Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya, expressed excitement about the partnership with Guerlain, stating, “Maroma Spa by Guerlain is the perfect synergy of healing experiences celebrating Mayan culture alongside Guerlain’s unparalleled expertise in well-being for body, mind, and soul.”

Internationally renowned design studio Tara Bernerd & Partners led the transformation of the space, ensuring harmony with nature. The nine treatment rooms feature local design elements, geometric shapes, and artisanal objects. The reception area provides an instant sense of relaxation with timber screens, hand-painted Saltillo tiles, and traditional Mayan patterns.

Post-treatment, guests can relax in tranquil spaces such as the calming steam room and a serene garden filled with spiritual trees. The spa’s apothecary, abundant with healing plants, offers guests the opportunity to learn about herbs and prepare natural balms and scrubs.

Maroma Spa by Guerlain emerges as a sanctuary of spiritual healing, where the union of Mayan culture, Guerlain’s expertise, and a harmonious design come together to create an unparalleled wellness experience in the heart of the Riviera Maya.
