Description: Kinan. "spirit; solar force; higher spiritual energy." (Maya) / k'in ["sun"] + an ["to be"]. [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 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, 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.

Treatments and Programs: Temazcal, Massage (Body Oil Ceremony, Hot Poultice Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Four Hands Massage, Reiki), Yoga, Body Treatments (Exotico Body Polish, Purifying Body Kinku (Ritual), Oceano Nourishing Wrap) Facial Treatments (TAN ICH –Face - Kich Pam Face, Profound Splendor, Deep Cleansing Facial), Spa Packages, Jantzu, Manicure, Pedicure, Waxing.

Healthy Yucatan-inspired spa cuisine can be enjoyed poolside or in the privacy of your treatment room. The menu includes: Aquarius salad; spinach, artichoke harts, chaya leaves, string beans, citrus fruits and home dried tomatoes; spiced beetroot soup over jicama and yogurt slaw; false cauliflower couscous with grilled langoustines and a hibiscus flower reduction, guajillo stuffed with buckwheat and shrimp brochettes, and carpaccio of zucchini, melon ravioli with crab and ginger and a tamarind sauce.

Spa Facilities: 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. 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 oceans breezes and bird songs from the jungle. There are three treatment rooms – each with its own shower, bathroom, and treatment tub, two wet/dry sauna and cold plunge pool treatment rooms, a manicure/pedicure room, one Massage tower with 360 degree views capturing both jungle and sea ecosystems, three beach palapas for massage, two Relaxation Rooms, one Roof top yoga and meditation pavilion and a Jantzu garden pool. There is a 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.

The 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.

Additionally you will find a Spa Boutique, Kinan treatment consultation room and Ladies and men’s changing room.

Other Facilities: Maroma has 58 rooms and suites tucked among lush gardens, cooled and shaded by coconut palms on one side, open to the dazzle of sun and sea on the other. Rooms glow with mahogany and bamboo-filtered light. A rainbow hammock beckons from the open-air terrace. Handpainted tile, soft wool rugs, original art and furniture from our own workshops make each unique. King-size bed and luxury bath with sunken tub provide delicious comfort just steps away from the sparkling beach, exquisite pool, beachfront jacuzzi, dining pleasures and voluptuous gardens populated with exotic birds and iguanas.

Maroma offers a variety of choices on and off-site. Enjoy the use of the three swimming pools, Jacuzzi and Multimedia Theatre, or for something a little more active why not try diving, sport fishing, kayaking, parasailing, windsurfing, sailing, swimming with dolphins, golf or horse back riding.
