Essentialist is a private, membership-based travel service shaped by a global community of tastemakers and travel editors. Guided by the belief that journeys aren’t about collecting destinations, but understanding what makes each place distinct, the Essentialist Book was created as a printed expression of that philosophy, translating our approach into a thoughtful editorial object for members.

Beyond a Guide

Designed as a collectible object, the book goes beyond typical travel inspiration. Every page is a quiet invitation to pause, to connect, to see the world through the eyes of locals and editors who value substance over noise. The visual language echoes our brand’s commitment to elegant simplicity, human connection, and meaningful detail.

A world built by curious minds
Mountains, rivers and swamps.
