Welcome to Esencia

On the immaculate white sand beach of Xpu-Ha on Mexico?s Riviera Maya, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Hotel Esencia is a secluded 50 acre estate where sea turtles come to nest and thousands of butterflies make their home. Once the exquisite private hideaway of an Italian Duchess, the hotel is constantly rated 5 stars for its spectacular setting, acclaimed ?farm to table? cuisine, and mid-century decor featuring authentic works by Charles ?Le Corbusier? Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, Pablo Picasso and others. In the heart of this Edenic location is Hotel Esencia?s all-organic Spa where the purest ingredients harvested from the soil of the surrounding Mayan jungles are the basis of every treatment. Next to the Spa is an all-new Technogym including weight-training and Pilates. An on-staff personal fitness concierge offers complimentary yoga aside the beach every morning. ## Location Hotel Esencia is located Carretera Cancun - Tulum km 265 Xpu-Ha.
