Private access
Access is earned, not purchased.
Membership is by invitation and places are deliberately few. Tell us a little about yourself; every request is read personally, in confidence, and answered within one business day.
Who we admit
A small membership, kept deliberately small.
Essensa is built for a new generation of private clients: founders, young professionals, families and those whose lives run across several cities at once.
We look for people who value discretion, who expect a great deal, and who would rather have one person who truly knows them than a platform that does not.
There is no minimum spend and nothing to prove. There is simply a limit to how many people one house can look after properly, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
01
The request
Share who you are and what you would ask of us. There is nothing to qualify for; we simply want to understand how you live and where we might be useful.
02
The review
A membership manager reads every request personally. New memberships are currently subject to review, and we admit only a small number each year.
03
The conversation
If it is right, we arrange a private conversation, in person or by phone, to recommend a tier and to agree how we will work together. If places are full, you are offered a position on the waiting list.
- 01 Every request is answered within one business day
- 02 Requests are read by a membership manager, never by a system
- 03 An introduction from an existing member is welcome but not required
- 04 When places are full, you are offered a position on the waiting list
- 05 Your details are never shared and never sold
- 06 A request may be withdrawn at any time
What is a lifestyle manager?
Your single point of contact at Essensa. They learn your preferences, anticipate your needs and coordinate our specialist teams and global partners on your behalf — day or night.
Is there a waiting list?
Yes, at present. We admit a limited number of members each year to protect the quality of service. New memberships are subject to review, and requests are considered in the order received.
Are services charged separately?
Our time is covered by your membership. Third-party costs — a table, a flight, a villa — are passed on at cost, without markup.
Can my family use my membership?
Dedicated and Elite memberships extend to immediate family. General members may add family for a supplementary fee.
Where do you operate?
Wherever you are. Forty offices worldwide, fifty-four languages spoken, and partners in over sixty cities.
How do I apply?
Membership is by invitation. Request access through the enquiry form, or ask an existing member to introduce you. A membership manager will arrange a private conversation to understand your needs and recommend a tier.
Request access.
Share a few details and a membership manager will review your request in confidence and, where appropriate, arrange a private conversation. When places are full, you will be offered a position on the waiting list for the next intake.
