Trips planned by people who were there this year.

Essentialist is a members-only travel service, joined by application. Joan Roca founded it with Nancy Novogrod, a former editor in chief of Travel + Leisure, and in Roca's words it runs "a little more like a magazine than a travel agency". Editors and writers keep its picture of each place current. A travel designer turns that into a trip, then books all of it.

A designer who books everything

Flights, hotels, restaurants and experiences, planned from a blank page and booked in one place, for the whole household.

Editors on the ground

More than 200 editors and writers, New York Times and Condé Nast Traveler contributors among them, curating over 70,000 experiences in close to 1,000 destinations.

Doors that are usually shut

A morning at the last corzetti stamp workshop, a swordsmith's anvil in Saitama, Masters week at Augusta, snow polo in St. Moritz.

Benefits at partner hotels

At properties such as Rosewood: upgrade priority, stay credits, breakfast for two, early check-in and late check-out.

One app, any hour

The brief, the plan by day and a chat with their own designer, with support around the clock while they travel.

Planned around how it should feel

Wellness, food, arts and culture, sport and shopping, paced to the trip they asked for.
