At Chablé Maroma, the experience goes far beyond elegant spaces and refined hospitality. Here, the true essence lies in harmony — between nature, wellbeing, and purpose. In response to one of the most talked-about natural phenomena in the region — the arrival of sargassum — this sanctuary nestled between jungle and sea has taken a clear stance: to act with respect, science, and responsibility.
Sargassum, a free-floating marine macroalgae, has increasingly reached the shores of the Mexican Caribbean over the past decade. While it plays an important role in ocean ecosystems, its presence on the beach presents a range of environmental and logistical challenges. The scientific community attributes the phenomenon to a combination of factors: nutrient enrichment in the Atlantic, rising ocean temperatures, and shifts in wind patterns — many of which are linked to climate change.
In this context, Chablé Maroma has implemented a daily beach-cleaning protocol that honors both official guidelines and the natural contours of its coastline. Starting at 7:00 a.m., a dedicated team collects sargassum by hand. This method ensures the beach remains pristine for guests, while protecting the delicate balance of the coastal environment. Rather than relying on heavy machinery, a specially designed sargassum rake pulled by a small tractor is used — carefully removing the algae without disturbing the sand, and thereby helping to prevent erosion.
This approach aligns with technical guidelines set by environmental authorities, which emphasize the importance of non-invasive methods, biodiversity protection, sediment recovery, and the reduction of emissions caused by sargassum decomposition.
Chablé Maroma’s privileged location — sheltered by reef formations from the Mesoamerican Reef System — also contributes to lower concentrations of sargassum compared to other beaches in the area. This natural barrier is more than a visual gift; it offers a unique advantage in managing the phenomenon with greater effectiveness.
But Chablé Maroma’s environmental commitment goes far beyond the shoreline. The resort actively participates in local community efforts and collaborative initiatives, joining regional monitoring networks and shared strategies that aim to transform this challenge into an opportunity for continuous improvement.
So whether guests are enjoying a seaside dinner or sipping a signature cocktail at RAYO BAR, they can rest assured that every detail — even the unseen — has been considered with care, precision, and a forward-looking vision rooted in respect for the present and the planet.
