Esencia Resort

Property #1012: Description

Esencia is not a typical hotel, though it certainly offers the personal service and pampering facilities you’d expect at a refined world-class resort. It is not a condo, though it has the privacy, luxury and personal touches that you’d want in your own residence.

Esencia is a 50-acre private estate, with an awe-inspiring beachfront, two swimming pools, day spa, gourmet restaurant, and an indulgent atmosphere fitting of royalty. In fact, the property and many of the buildings once served as the exclusive beach-side retreat of an actual Italian duchess. Though friendly, warm and generous, the duchess demands the very best and Esencia still benefits from her superior taste, her impeccable style and her zest for life.

Guest quarters are simple and elegant, featuring native hardwood furnishings, crisp white walls and floors, twelve-foot high ceilings, mahogany louvered doors and large windows that frame tropical garden and sea views. Other features include 600-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, duvet covers, glorious down pillows and Molton Brown amenities.

The extra-large bathrooms have double rain-shower heads and private chef and butler service is available at all times. In-room refrigerators are stocked with complimentary water, soft drinks and beer and complimentary continental breakfast is delivered each morning.

Dining at Esencia is the essence of gourmet cuisine. The chef combines his innovative and sophisticated preparation skills with fresh local ingredients, indigenous cooking methods and home-grown herbs to create dishes that are simple, yet inspired.
