Hotel Esencia

Hotel Esencia sits on a 50-acre estate along the white sand of Xpu-Ha Bay between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The Main House remains the center of the hotel, with paths disappearing through dense tropical gardens toward just 47 suites and four villas. Even entry accommodations are suite-like, while higher categories add private terraces, rooftop decks, outdoor showers and plunge pools.
