The former private retreat of the heiress to the Ferrari fortune

Originally the private retreat of an Italian duchess and heir to the Ferrari fortune, guests feel like royalty at this intimate, elegant 29-room boutique property. Nestled between the azure Caribbean Sea and the virgin jungle, Hotel Esencia is set on 50-acres of lush, manicured gardens and features the world-class organic Aroma spa, which is virtually unparalleled in incorporating the magical realism of native Mayan rituals and healing traditions. This tranquil retreatÂ’s expansive 50-mile stretch of white sandy beaches were named one of the top ten beaches in the world by Fox News in 2012.
