Rooted locally. Refined globally.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Essence East is a luxury experience collective offering curated travel and transformational wellness.

Essence East is where world-class destination management meets curated, science-based wellness. Founded by industry insiders Evita and Zachary, the brand fuses the precision of luxury travel with the depth of transformative healing.

Both founders speak the language of elevated service: Zach brings global logistics expertise, luxury hospitality mastery, and cultural access. Evita, rooted in hospitality, now leads with a wellness philosophy shaped by lived experience and deep training.

Together, they design journeys that are seamless, soul-stirring, and built for a new kind of luxury client.

OUR ETHOS

At the heart of Essence East lies one belief: wellness and wonder are not luxuries — they are necessities.
Through curated travel and restorative practices, we help our clients disconnect from distraction and reconnect with their own rhythm.
