DISCOVER A SECRET LAGOON

Did you know that less than a five minute walk down the north end of our beach lies a hidden lagoon that is home to a family of manatees? You may snorkel, kayak or paddleboard in the crystal clear water of the lagoon, and if you’re lucky swim with these magical creatures (along with a personal guide). Finish this memorable experience with an epicurean picnic Esencia-style at the adjoining ocean front cove under the shade of umbrellas, and revel in the magnificent sea views.

BE REBORN

The Náhuatl dialect word Temazcal means ‘house of heat’. Experience this ancestral healing practice, guided by a personal Shaman, to receive benefits for the body, mind and spirit, through a hot steam bath created by pouring a healing herbal infusion over red-hot stones. It’s known that the Temazcal represents Mother Earth’s ‘womb’, and this ritual is a symbolic rebirth – a deep detoxification happens through profuse sweating and breathing exercises, releasing what you no longer need and providing a new state of consciousness and gratitude.

Please contact Esencia Spa for more details and to experience this healing ritual.
