Description
Hotel Esencia is a serene beachfront estate set on a secluded bay along Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Originally built as a private retreat for a duchess, the property today offers understated luxury and a deep connection to nature in an intimate, low-key setting.
The hotel features 47 rooms, suites, and villas, all surrounded by lush gardens or overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Interiors are bright and spacious, with natural materials, local artisan touches, and a clean, elegant design. Inhouse amenities include a wellness-focused spa, a fitness studio, two swimming pools, and a curated selection of activities from snorkeling to cooking classes. The experience is personal, peaceful, and refined.

• Taiyo – A Japanese restaurant offering sushi, sashimi, and grilled specialties made with local ingredients and fresh catch of the day
• Beefbar – A casual-chic steakhouse serving premium cuts and signature sides in an open-air tropical setting
