Welcome to My Estate

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 Mayan 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.

Esencia also offers opportunities for adventure and exploration that broaden your horizons and leave you with knowledge and understanding, not just great vacation photos.

Located along a mile long stretch of Mexico's best beach, Esencia Estate is a quiet, sea side refuge in the Riviera Maya just 20 minutes south of Mayakoba & Playa del Carmen, and 25 minutes north of Tulum.
