SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

Esencia, Playa Del Carmen

With its 50 acre estate gardens, its main residence created by an Italian duchess and its impeccable beach, Esencia is close to – but far from – Playa del Carmen.
LUXURY HOTELS IN MEXICO

PRIVATE HOME OF AN ITALIAN DUCHESS

Midway between the town of Tulum and the relentless resort of Playa del Carmen lies a quiet, dignified enclave – the bay of Xpu-Ha. And it is here that you’ll find the romantic hideaway that was originally built for an exiled Italian duchess; now an exclusive boutique hotel gathered around the elegant main house.

Make it part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Mexico and you’ll quickly discover the Esencia is essential. For its two fine restaurants, organic spa, heated pools, sunrise yoga and air of utter tranquillity. And, of course, its unpressurised beach.

Indeed you may not be the only visitors to head for the Hotel Esensia’s beach. That particularly fine stretch of sand is a natural haven that sea turtles visit every year to make their nests.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
