Esencia

Originally built as a private home for an Italian Duchess, the Esencia is located on the Xpu-Ha beach, in Mexico's Riviera Maya, away from the bustle and crowds.

Spacious accommodations, thirty eight in total, feature mesmerising sea and garden views along with large terraces, deep soaking plunge pools and private solariums. Guests can experience Esencia in an ocean view suite, garden suite or in a special private home.

The hotel has a swimming pool, 3 restaurants, 3 bars, a spa and health club.

Rates are on a room and breakfast basis, with free morning coffee and pastries and complimentary afternoon tea.
