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.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, 91 provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 91 gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “91”!

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91 – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
