Accommodation
To experience the Caribbean with a Mayan twist, look no further than Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa, in Mexico. Idyllically situated in a coconut grove between the Rivera Maya’s famous golden sands and lush jungle, the feeling in this luxurious enclave is that of being a privileged guest in a beautiful private home – exquisitely finished with indigenous art, handcrafted furnishings beautifully evoke Mexican living with intimate and romantic colourful gardens and palapa thatched dwellings. Accommodations blend contemporary elegance with Mayan flair featuring unique Mexican tiles; the signature Sian Nah Suites offering a plunge pool, fitness room and panoramic ocean views. Two restaurants ensure a range of cuisine including traditional Mexican dishes, fresh seafood and ceviches which can be paired with one of over a hundred tequilas; learn all about the traditional spirit at La Cantina bar. Relax by one of the three pools, snorkel on the nearby reef or head to the excellent Kinan Spa where there’s a mud bar with four different types of remedies, offering you the chance to make the most of authentic local healing techniques. Head to the resort at the end of May to observe the Sacred Mayan Journey in nearby Xcaret – watch traditionally-dressed locals honour their ancestors by making the pilgrimage over to Cozumel Island by boat.
Riviera Maya is enjoyable year-round, but October to May is generally the most pleasant time to visit. Humidity is at its highest from July to September, with occasional showers more likely to occur on the Gulf Coast. November to May are the most popular months to visit Baja Peninsula, characterised by warm, generally dry days, whilst July to October tends to be hotter and more humid with the possibility of tropical storms. Mexico City is best visited between March to May; winter brings cool temperatures, whilst June to October can be more humid with a daily short burst of showers.
