A Couples Photoshoot at Secrets Maroma Beach: Spots, Times and Prices

In short

Secrets Maroma Beach is adults-only on one of the widest, softest beaches of the coast. For couples, the hour before sunset at the water's edge is ideal. Sessions start at 245 USD.

A wide, quiet beach and an adults-only resort make Secrets Maroma Beach one of the easiest places on the coast for a beautiful couples session. Here is our plan.

How the Photographer Gets In

Access is simple for guests of Secrets Maroma Beach. Put the photographer's name on your reservation at the front desk with the time of the session, and we meet you in the lobby. Resorts usually reserve their outside vendor fee for weddings, so a private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged, though we always confirm the current rule in writing first. Visitors who are not staying at the resort normally need a day pass; this guide explains how it works.

Collections and Prices

Every collection includes editing and a private 4K gallery delivered in one to three business days.
