From Wellness Rituals to Beachfront Celebrations: Why Belmond Maroma Is the Riviera Maya's Premier Wedding Venue
Experience Unmatched Wellness at Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa:
The Perfect Addition to Your Destination Wedding
When planning your wedding at Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa, the experience goes beyond the ceremony and reception. The resort offers an immersive journey into wellness and luxury, anchored by its world-class Maroma Spa by Guerlain, and a focus on authentic Mexican traditions like the use of Melipona honey and sound healing ceremonies. Here's what makes these experiences unique and why they’re the perfect complement to your special day.
Maroma Spa by Guerlain: A Sanctuary of Healing
The Maroma Spa by Guerlain is the first of its kind in Latin America and embodies a seamless fusion of the French Maison’s expertise with ancient Mayan wellness rituals. Located within the lush jungle, the spa offers a biophilic design that integrates nature at every turn, providing nine treatment rooms that overlook the tropical surroundings.
One of the spa’s most exclusive treatments is the Bee Healing Ritual, which pays homage to the revered Melipona bee, a sacred species in Mayan culture. Known for its healing properties, the honey of this stingless bee is a key component of the ritual, connecting guests with nature while offering rejuvenating benefits. The use of local, sustainably sourced Melipona honey not only reflects the resort’s commitment to the environment but also provides a deep connection to the cultural heritage of the region
Sound Healing and Ancient Rituals: A Spiritual Reawakening
For those seeking spiritual rejuvenation, the spa’s offerings include sound healing sessions that integrate the natural elements of the Riviera Maya. One signature experience is the Under the Sea Wave Meditation, where guests practice mindfulness with singing bowls while being enveloped by the gentle waves of the Caribbean. This practice combines the therapeutic effects of water and sound, promoting deep relaxation and enhancing the connection between body and mind.
In addition, the temazcal ceremony offers a traditional steam bath guided by a Mayan shaman. Using local herbs and the sounds of traditional drums, this ritual purifies both body and soul, making it an enriching experience for couples seeking to prepare spiritually for their wedding day.
Bambuco by Handshake: A Mixology Experience Like No Other
No wedding celebration is complete without a touch of elegance in the form of handcrafted cocktails. Bambuco by Handshake, a collaboration with one of Mexico City’s top speakeasies, brings a sophisticated mixology experience to Maroma. The bar specializes in signature cocktails made from locally sourced ingredients, including a wide selection of mezcals from the Yucatán and beyond.
What sets Bambuco apart is its zero-waste philosophy. The mixologists craft seasonal drinks using herbs and botanicals grown on-site, ensuring that each cocktail is not only delicious but also environmentally conscious. The bar’s design, featuring tropical touches and Mexican-inspired decor, creates an inviting space perfect for pre-wedding celebrations or post-ceremony relaxation.
