is leading the restoration, working closely with local artisans to honor the Mexican heritage. Maroma is expected to feature new spaces that blend contemporary elements with carefully sourced indigenous materials. Curved lines and organic forms inspired by the property’s tropical surroundings will also be factored into the indoor-outdoor flow of its 72 accommodating rooms, suites and villas. Its original design, however, will be preserved to include its white stucco buildings.
Mexican-born executive chef Daniel Camacho will continue to highlight his country’s colorful culinary offerings at Maroma’s Casa Mayor restaurant. According to the hotel, 90 percent of its ingredients will be sourced fromand almost half from the Yucatan peninsula. The dishes will range from Michoacan corundas to Jalisco-style birria, as well as Oaxacan black mole.
Belmond is launching a new partnership with Guerlain to amplify Maroma’s longstanding commitment to the local environment. The partnership will expand resident beehives, unveil a new bee sanctuary for guests and introduce Guerlain’s Bee School and “Women for Bees” initiatives into Yucatan communities. Lastly, the hotel will spotlight local creatives in a photography series dubbed Fotografia Maroma, made in partnership with curators Fariba Farshad and Patricia Conde.
