Set on a wonderful two mile stretch of white sand beach and surrounded by a 50 acre tropical oasis, Esencia is the most elegant boutique retreat on the Riviera Maya. Formerly the private home of an Italian duchess and now a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, you’ll find that peace and tranquillity reign here. Whilst only an hour from Cancún, you’ll feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Enchanting and totally unspoilt, covered in coconut palms and encircled by tempting shallow lagoons, Denis Private Island is in a league of its own when it comes to a romantic castaway location. It also has a charm and appeal for kids big and small, with complimentary bicycles for exploring, over 100 giant tortoises and a farm providing fresh produce for the island.
