TRAVEL SPOTLIGHT

Hotel Esencia

Quintana Roo, Mexico

Nestled between the verdant jungle and white sand shores of the Yucatan Peninsula, this boutique hotel—once the private home of an Italian duchess—is the ultimate escape for rest and relaxation. The setting is idyllic: Xpu-Ha Beach is one of the last undeveloped shores in Riviera Maya. Yet, Hotel Esencia offers as much substance as style. Recently awarded Three Michelin Keys, the highest distinction indicating an extraordinary stay, the hotel’s organic spa helps set it apart from the rest. This wellness sanctuary, tucked into the jungle, is designed to echo Mayan sacred geometry with traditional elements like thatched palapa roofs. At the heart of Esencia Spa is a Mayan organic kitchen crafting bespoke balms and scrubs from local herbs, delivering visitors a holistic sensory experience. Guests can explore steam rooms, an infrared sauna, an ice chamber, a cold plunge pool, and innovative treatments such as the Temazcal sweat lodge, sensory deprivation tank, and NuEra Tight sculpting technology—a transformative journey for body, mind, and soul.
