Hotel Esencia was originally built as the private getaway home for Italian duchess Rosa de Ferrari, a majestic 50-acre estate located at the midpoint between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, on the white powdery bay of Xpu-Ha, a natural haven where marine turtles nest. This secluded gem is currently owned by Hollywood player and media entrepreneur, Kevin Wendle, who transformed it into what The Sunday Times of London has referred to as “the most heavenly hotel on Earth.”
