OUR Caribbean Coast SPECIALIST

The award-winning Aroma Spa is reason enough to visit Esencia - treatments incorporate indigenous fruits, plants and herbs, many of which are grown in the estate’s herb garden and blended by the knowledgeable spa therapists.

Ceviche is a speciality at Esencia and you’ll find a whole menu here featuring a mouth-watering range of delicious options, including lobster, scallops, shrimps and octopus.

Close to the second largest barrier reef in the world, you can also swim with turtles just a few feet from the shore, making Esencia a real haven for water babies.
