Rated one of the world’s top beaches, Punta Maroma is a smaller but beautiful upcoming tourist destination that is worth a visit. Maroma Beach is an exclusive Riviera Maya Beach that is only accessed by either having lunch at a local restaurant with a reservation or by staying in one of the small beachfront boutique hotels.
Up until modern times most of the landscape remained untouched well into the 1970s, the sole exception being a coconut plantation to the west of the beach. There was a jungle between the highway and the beach, so the only way to access the beach was by boat. Today the beach is still intact, and there are no resorts or hotels built on the strip of land. There are, however, resorts and hotels that use the name Maroma, but they are actually not located on the private beach attributed to the original Punta Maroma or ‘Maroma Beach’, but they are a short distance from it.
This is a small paradise, hidden away from other popular Rivera Maya destinations, and known to only a few. You will feel worlds away from daily live when sitting on Maroma Beach, and witness the true tranquility of the Caribbean Ocean, pristine white sandy beaches with a backdrop of a tropical landscape. You will be surprised by some of the unique things to do and places you can explore at this hidden destination.
