Esencia is not a typical hotel, though it certainly offers the personal service and pampering facilities you’d expect at a refined world-class resort. It is not a condo, though it has the privacy, luxury and personal touches that you’d want in your own residence.
Esencia is a 50-acre private estate, with an awe-inspiring beachfront, two swimming pools, day spa, gourmet restaurant, and an indulgent atmosphere fitting of royalty. In fact, the property and many of the buildings once served as the exclusive beach-side retreat of an actual Italian duchess. Though friendly, warm and generous, the duchess demands the very best and Esencia still benefits from her superior taste, her impeccable style and her zest for life.
Guests of Esencia aren’t looking for a vacation experience – they’re looking for a life experience. What they find here touches them deeply. It introduces them to the Maya world and its deep connection to the earth, to the spirit of nature and the luxury of simplicity. It provides comfort that leads to relaxation and personal attention that leads to a heightened sense of optimism and peace.
Aroma is the first organic spa in the whole Riviera Maya to offer an array of face and body treatments incorporating pure indigenous fruits, plants and herbs, many of which are grown in an herb garden located near the entrance. There are five treatment rooms, four Jacuzzis and two Mayan-style domed steam rooms. Featured treatments include massage, herbal saunas and facials – all performed with traditional organic methods. Guests can enjoy complimentary teas and the juice during their treatments. Complimentary group yoga and meditation classes with an instructor in the garden area are also part of Esencia's exclusive experiences.
Dining at Esencia is the essence of gourmet cuisine. The chef combines his innovative and sophisticated preparation skills with fresh local ingredients, indigenous cooking methods and home-grown herbs to create dishes that are simple, yet inspired.
When guests choose Esencia, they reach an exceptional place in earth, their home at Mexican Caribbean… but Esencia is glad with the opportunity to host them at paradise. The impeccable staff team does their best for accomplishing so they have a memorable experience ever…
