The 50-acre estate midway between Tulum and Playa del Carmen on Mexico’s Riviera Maya Caribbean coast was originally built as a private hideaway for an Italian duchess.
It later became a mansion hotel and since 2014 has been owned by Hollywood producer and entrepreneur Kevin Wendle.
The interior of the Main House, which includes paintings by Picasso and Eduardo Santiere, is surrounded by 47 suites and four villas overlooking the Caribbean.
One of the hotel’s most lavish accommodations is the four-suite Esencia Mansion, unveiled in 2022 with three pools, a 20-seat cinema, blue-chip artwork and an underground cocktail lounge.
