This Riviera Maya Luxury Hotel Is Expanding 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - August 26, 2022

The popular Hotel Esencia on the Riviera Maya of Mexico is expanding, Caribbean journal has learned. 

The Hotel Esencia is adding a new villa to the property: the Esencia Mansion, slated to open its doors in September 2022.

The 12,000-square-foot vila will have four interconnected en-suite bedrooms, a fitness studio, three pools, an entertainment terrace, a screening room and even an underground speakeasy. 

The villa is positioned as a second “Main House” for test hotel, designed by New York-based Giancarlo Valle. 

It’s “designed to be shrouded by nature, providing ultimate privacy and seclusion,” the property says, set just steps from the Xpu Ha beach and a sheltered tennis court. 

The Hotel Esencia was initially built as the home of an Italian duchess, with 45 suites on a 50-acre estate between Tulum and Playa del Carmen.
