Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun destination wedding specialists at 10kWedding.
Secrets Maroma Beach sits on a shoreline recognized by the Travel Channel as one of the best beaches in the world — pure white sand, crystalline water, and 500 acres of protected jungle at the southern edge of the Riviera Maya. That setting isn’t incidental to the wedding experience here. It’s the whole point. Ceremony locations directly on the sand, a pool gazebo nestled into the grounds, an oceanside terrace — each venue puts the beach front and center.
For a Secrets Maroma Beach destination wedding, the property’s adults-only, Unlimited-Luxury® format means your guests spend the week without wristbands, without reservation lines at the bar, and without any surprise charges. Six à la carte restaurants, eight bars, 14 pools, a 13,000 sq ft spa, and concierge service in every building are all part of one seamless stay. The Beach, Pool Gazebo, Oceana Terrace, Seaside Garden, and Ballroom give your group five distinct settings — from an intimate 80-guest ceremony at the gazebo to a 300-guest beach reception as the sun sets over the Caribbean.
10kWedding works directly with the Secrets Maroma Beach wedding team. We secure your room block, negotiate group rates, build your guests a dedicated wedding website, and coordinate every moving piece — so the week runs the way you planned it.

Secrets Maroma Beach sits at Km 306.5 on Federal Highway 307 — roughly 35 minutes south of Cancun International Airport along the Riviera Maya coast. The property borders Punta Maroma, a protected stretch where the jungle meets the sea, with no through-traffic and no neighboring development immediately adjacent.
Playa del Carmen is 15 minutes to the south, making it an easy evening option for guests who want to explore the Fifth Avenue restaurant and bar scene. Puerto Morelos, known for its laid-back beachfront restaurants, is a 20-minute drive north. The cenotes and eco-parks of the Riviera Maya — Xcaret, Xel-Há, and the underground river systems — are all within 30–60 minutes.
Cancun International Airport is the primary gateway for most U.S. and international guests — a straightforward highway drive to the resort.
The Riviera Maya’s most walkable town — Fifth Avenue shops, restaurants, and nightlife for guests who want an evening off the resort.
A small fishing village with a protected coral reef ideal for snorkeling. Quieter than Playa, with excellent local seafood restaurants.
Underground river snorkeling, Mayan cultural shows, sea turtle programs, and more — a full-day excursion option for the wedding group.
The tallest pyramid in the Yucatán, deep in the jungle. A striking half-day excursion for guests who want something beyond the beach.
One of the New Seven Wonders of the World. A full-day excursion for guests who want to experience the Maya heartland.
Maroma Beach is a protected stretch of coastline — there are no vendors on the sand, no jet-ski rentals, and no crowds from neighboring properties. For wedding groups, that translates to a ceremony backdrop that looks exactly like the photographs. The water stays clear, the sand stays white, and the 500-acre property means guests can spread out without feeling on top of each other.
The adults-only format removes a layer of logistics that family-friendly resorts require. Every guest who checks in is there for the same reason: a week with friends celebrating something important. The Unlimited-Luxury® model — no wristbands, no gratuities, no reservation lines — keeps things relaxed throughout the week and removes the small frustrations that add up over a multi-day event.
From a travel standpoint, the 35-minute transfer from Cancun International is fast enough that guests landing on a Friday evening are at the resort in time for a welcome dinner the same night. The highway route is direct and well-serviced by private transfers.
No wristbands. No gratuities. Everything your Secrets Maroma Beach destination wedding guests need for a remarkable week on one of the world’s best beaches.
Six à la carte restaurants — Bordeaux (French), El Patio (Mexican), Himitsu (Pan-Asian with teppanyaki), Oceana (seafood), Portofino (Italian), and Seaside Grill — plus World Café buffet, Barefoot Grill poolside, and Coco Café open 24 hours. No reservations required for most dining.

We are destination wedding specialists — it’s the only thing we do. We know how the room block process works at Secrets Maroma Beach specifically: how group inventory gets allocated, which venue configurations work for which guest counts, and what the wedding coordinator needs from you at each stage of the planning process.

We build your group a dedicated wedding website so your guests have a single place to reserve rooms, access travel details, and find event schedules. When something needs to move quickly during the planning process or during the wedding week itself, we have direct lines to the people on property who can make it happen.
We combine the technology of a modern booking platform with the expertise and personal care of a dedicated travel specialist who has been inside these resorts, knows the coordinators, and understands what matters when wedding day arrives.
