Located on a private stretch of soft sand between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Chablé Maroma Our embrace of wellness and spirituality with margaritas and perfect ceviche sets us apart from Riviera Maya’s ever-growing lineup of upscale chain resorts and all-inclusives.
At the heart of the property is an award-winning lush spa rooted in Mayan tradition and a deep belief in the healing powers of nature. Cleanse your mind, body, and soul with a temazcal session with a Mayan shaman or participate in morning restorative yoga on the beach, using herbs harvested from the resort’s own caanche (traditional Mayan gardens). Why not book a treatment with his comfortable body?
Guests can also connect with Mother Earth while exploring the property’s 758 acres of protected jungle. Of course, this visit would not be complete without snorkeling or scuba diving along the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, located in the resort’s backyard. Chablais Maroma also offers other marine activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and catamaran sailing. Relaxing under a coconut tree while counting the shades of blue in the ocean is always an option.
The spiritual aspect of Chablis Maroma does not mean that the resort precludes guests from indulgence. After returning from the water ceremony and coral planting, indulge in a six-course tasting menu created by Mexico City gastronomic darling and World’s 50 Best Chef Jorge Vallejo of Quintonil. Take a dip in your private pool and have an expert mezcal tasting.
