One of the world’s great hideaways, Hotel Esencia occupies a pristine stretch of beach halfway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum
The elegant mansion was originally built as a private home for the Italian Duchess Rosa di Ferrari. Today, the estate occupies 50 acres of landscaped garden and lush tropical jungle, with 38 suites and three villas. The brand-new Esencia Mansion has 4 bedrooms, a gym, office, dressing room, and cinema. It also comes with its very own butler.
What we love about Hotel Esencia
- All accommodations have private terraces with views of the sea or gardens and are accessible by a stone path that snakes around the property
- Crisp white-washed interiors give way to Mayan jungle and Caribbean coast
- Owner Kevin Wendle has blended mid-century furnishings with a mix of classic pieces and Mexican crafts.
- Spot originals by Pablo Picasso and Le Corbusier from Wendle’s own private art collection around the property
- Contrasting white with dark wood furniture, rooms are cool and calming
- Hotel Esencia has several newly available penthouse suites that overlook the treetops
