Esencia offers a wide variety of accommodation, from romantic garden suites and palatial ocean view penthouses to houses big enough for an extended family.

All are styled with a striking white decor which brilliantly complements the high-tech amenities and novel gadgets (our favorites being the remotely controlled black-out shades and the personal mini-freezer for ice, vodka or any other essentials).

Guests are pampered with the finest Egyptian cotton sheets, down pillows and lightweight duvets.

Many rooms have large walk-in closets and bathrooms featuring a selection of Molton Brown toiletries. Several of the ocean view suites have his-and-hers bath and shower rooms, whilst some Garden Suites also have a bathtub and a shower.

For a honeymoon or special occasion, the spectacular Rosa or Torre suites are the ultimate choice. Both have breathtaking ocean views and private terraces.

The Ocean View suites are located in the main building and the adjacent "Casa Invitados" and also enjoy delightful outlooks over the pools, garden and the ocean.

Garden Suites are arranged in duplex units with one suite on the ground floor and one on the second floor.

Each suite has a private plunge pool, generously sized terrace and large bedroom with king bed.

Although the second floor suites are more private and have elevated views, those on the ground floor are equally desirable for their extra sun terrace and larger bathrooms with soaking tubs.

The upper and lower level suites are completely independent with no connecting door, but the combined unit would be ideal for two couples traveling together or a family with older children.

A unique feature of this property is the option of reserving a luxurious one bedroom "cottage" with an additional two, three or four bedrooms in adjacent units.

Each cottage has a private swimming pool and media room with LCD screen and surround sound system, plus a gourmet kitchen and dining room. Private chef and butler service are available.
