About Esencia Estate
The 50-acre Riviera MayaEstate, located on Playa Xpu-Ha on a two mile stretch of fine white-sand beach 46 miles south of Cancun, is the essence of simplicity, elegance and beauty.

The Dining Room
Our dinner menu specializes in Meso-American cuisine, using traditional Yucatecan methods such as banana-wrapped fish and meat cooked in a pib (an earth oven). The menu showcases the freshest local seafood as well as dishes from the rest of Mexico, all flavored with organic herbs and fresh fruits and vegetables. The ambience combines Mexican flair and rustic simplicity, with its palapa roof and view of a cenote, an illuminated underground fresh water pool.
The Duchess's Spiritual and Relaxation Area
Fully organic from its architecture to its products, the Duchess's oasis harvests its own lush herb garden for indigenous fruits, plants and herbs to use in treatments such as the lemon ritual for energy, honey ritual for relaxation and chocolate ritual for stress-reduction. Five treatment rooms, four Jacuzzis, two Mayan-style domed steam rooms and a beachside Temazcal Mayan Sauna are also available. Complimentary group yoga and meditation classes are offered with an instructor in the main house terrace or garden area.
