Esencia

Sited on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, Esencia is a small boutique hotel and a perfect example of how elegance and simplicity excels in such a perfect setting as Xpu-Ha beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Latin America. The heart of Esencia is the beautiful beachfront ‘Casa Grande’, with its unusual Catalan dome roof, that encompasses several of the guest rooms, suites and restaurant, and overlooks two miles of white beach and crystal blue water. Esencia is a member of ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World’.

Accommodation
Choose from 29 air-conditioned suites and rooms, each individually designed, with options of sea or garden views, private plunge pools, in-room baths and lush gardens, terraces and hammocks. Décor is all in white, simple and elegant and all rooms have television, DVD and CD players, personal bar, black-out shades and Molton Brown amenities. The ‘Casa Grande’ houses nine suites, while further suites and cottages are dotted around the garden, where the emphasis is on privacy. Two of the cottages are perfect for families.
