Hotel Esencia is a supreme luxury boutique hotel set within a 50 acre private reserve on the white sandy beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya.
Hotel Esencia was built for an Italian Duchess as her piece of paradise in Mexico. It no longer belongs to the royal Italian family, but it remains every bit as luxurious.
The style of the entire hotel is white walls, a touch of wood, large plant plots and flashes of bright Mexican colours in the way of tiles from Puebla or weavings from the highland. It is beautiful.
Reached by a taking a short drive through the mangrove you get to this gorgeous boutique hotel where style, minimalism, fantastic location, delicious food and a very friendly and professional atmosphere oozes from what is currently the best luxurious beach hotel in Mexico on every level.
There is a sumptuous spa offering a blend of contemporary therapies mixed with local touches, two large swimming pools, a bar that makes a mean mojito, a delicious evening restaurant that is lit up by candle light and firepits and an air conditioned lounge close to the beach where complementary afternoon tea is served.
Rooms come in a variety of shapes and sizes that become increasingly expensive if you have a sea view or opt for the private villa.
The smallest of the rooms are the garden rooms that are set back around 5 minute easy walk to the pool and beach have private terraces and plunge pools, nespresso machines, large beds, ipod docks, free minibar and hot drinks and pastries are delivered to your terrace every morning.
Being at Esencia is normally about relaxing in the spa, on the quiet beach and in this beautiful pocket of south east Mexico. From the hotel you can also borrow the stand-up paddle boards, take part in the daily yoga classes or flop by one of the two pools. A little further afield you can find ancient historical sites, sink holes for swimming and in the correct season you can go swim with whale sharks.
