OVERVIEW
Maroma Resort And Spa Mexico | Maroma Resort And Spa Playa Del Carmen | Maroma Resort And Spa Reviews
One day an architect flew down the coast in a small
plane and about 30 miles south of Cancun he discovered the loveliest of bays
where a forest of stately coconut palms promenaded toward the turquoise sea. He
fell in love with the place and bought it from a man who made his living drying
and selling the coconut meat, harvested from the 200-acre plantation.
Along with the plantation and a beautiful piece of
jungle and beach, the ranch included the thatched hut of the owner and a
caretaker named Timoteo who stayed for 14 years and whose five sons were born
there without the help of doctor, nurse or midwife.
In 1980 Sally just happened to take a
spur-of-the-moment trip to Cancun for a week of sun before the harsh winter of
Chicago set in, This is where she met the owner and architect named Jose Luis. How's Chicago?? he asked, Cold! she answered, and in that moment both of
their lives changed: He introduced her to his beautiful Maroma where they swam,
drank coconut water and sat in the shade of the old thatched roof.
He showed her the jungle and the reefs, told her he
had come by boat before Timoteo cut the road out of the jungle with his machete,
drew her an image of the house he would build here so he could fish and swim
everyday. Soon his dream became hers and she left Chicago for the warmth of the
tropics.
When they were ready to build, the old thatched hut
seemed the perfect place to start and it became the heart of the house where the
original support poles are still visible in one wall. They planned a simple
weekend cottage which soon grew to a two bedroom, artist's studio and dining
room for ten.
During the following years the house continued to
grow room by room, and Sally and Jos?Luis shared it with many visitors from
around the world, all of whom confirmed by the pleasure of being there that
Maroma is an extraordinary place.
Their next dream began to take shape when a house
they built for sale was damaged by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. They took the
opportunity to use the structure as the seed of a long-dreamed of small Hotel
where they could share Maroma with more friends than could comfortably fit in
their home. The Hotel grew as their house had, the gardens flourished, the
buildings took graceful shape, the kitchen began to whisper delicious messages,
and the Hotel filled with new friends who came to be enchanted by the primal
rhythm of the ocean and the jungle.
Today Maroma is a vibrant reality dedicated to
pampering its guests, each of whom is counted as an honored member of the Maroma
family.

RECREATION
Maroma Resort And Spa Mexico | Maroma Resort And Spa Playa Del Carmen | Maroma Resort And Spa Reviews
Riviera Maya, Mexico -- Kinan [pronounced - keynan]
is the Maya word for "the source of the sun". Similar to the Asian concept of
Chi, Kinan is often referred to as the individual inner energy. Opened in the
fall of 2004, the new spa combines Mayan concepts to offer a full range of spa
services in unique environments including treatment rooms with private gardens,
four outdoor massage palapas (small thatched roof pavilions) and a rooftop tower
treatment room with 360 degree views that capture the two ecological systems of
Maroma the jungle and the sea.
The Spa at over 6,365 square feet was handcrafted by
the same family of Maya masons that have been working with Maroma founder and
architect, Jose Louis Moreno, for over four decades. This long standing creative
collaboration is one of the reasons that guests and photographers rave about the
visual beauty of the resort. In addition, Jose Luis's strong belief in the Maya
study of astrological alignment and energy channels has given the Kinan spa its
spiritual essence -- each building and treatment room has been aligned to the
stars to ensure positive energy flow so the body, mind and spirit are at peace.
Spar:
White and cream stucco finishes, carved niches,
arched windows and doorways, Conchuela (shell) floors from the Yucatan
complimented with loose river stone borders, hand-hewn beams made from the local
Zapote trees and native hard wood furnishings all provide an authentic yet
soothing environment. Strategically placed windows and alfresco corridors
provide sunbeams, fresh ocean breezes and bird songs from the jungle.
Spa Amenities:
Three treatment rooms ? each with its own shower,
bathroom, and treatment tub
Two wet/dry sauna and cold plunge pool treatment rooms
Manicure/Pedicure room
One Massage tower with 360 degree views capturing both jungle and sea ecosystems
Two Relaxation Rooms
One Roof top yoga and meditation pavilion
Jantzu garden pool
Flore de vita (Flower of Life) pool located in front of the floatarium building.
The flower of life symbol is incorporated into the design of the pool and is
considered sacred among many cultures around the world, both ancient and modern.
Within this symbol can be found all the building blocks of the universe and the
symbol is often used as a metaphor for the connectedness of all life and spirit
within the universe.
Wellness centre located in the adjacent Aquarius area of the resort offers
cardio machines as well as free-weights, and spinning classes. A personal
trainer is available for appointments.
