ByEssae.
A travel and wellness collective, shaping experiences that go beyond escape.
THE APPROACH
At ByEssae, we believe true luxury lies in depth, not excess.
We operate across four complementary worlds that together shape how our clients travel, restore, and express their brand stories. We design bespoke journeys, evidence-based retreats, and creative collaborations with hotels and brands that value authenticity and refinement.
HOTEL AND VILLA BOOKINGS
Guided by the expertise of global travel professionals, our travel division delivers end-to-end experiences that feel personal, seamless, and locally rooted, featuring a curated selection of the world’s finest properties chosen for their design, service, and authenticity.
Through our Virtuoso partnership, guests enjoy exclusive privileges including complimentary breakfast, upgrades, early check-in and late check-out, resort credits, and other special amenities — all at no additional cost.
Beyond accommodation, we design full itineraries weaving together dining, discovery, and cultural immersion with smooth logistics and local insight.
From private dinners and hidden temples to yacht charters and helicopter transfers, we craft experiences that feel both elevated and grounded in place.
CONCIERGE SERVICE
WELLNESS RETREATS AND ACTIVATIONS
We design and operate evidence-based retreats and activations with world-class experts across unique locations.
Programs are structured around tailored protocols, group-right settings, and immersive environments that encourage renewal and focus.
Whether for individuals, brands, or corporate groups, we turn wellness into an experience that delivers real results.
ARTISTIC DIRECTION AND BRANDING
For hotels, brands, and creatives, we translate essence into form.
Through brand storytelling, visual identity, and content direction, we build worlds that feel refined, sensory, and timeless.
Our approach merges artistic intuition with strategic precision so each project looks beautiful and works beautifully.
ABOUT US
MEET THE FOUNDER
ByEssae was founded by Evita Hagege to bridge three worlds that too often operate apart — travel, hospitality, and wellness.
With a background spanning corporate finance, bespoke travel advisory, and wellness program design, Evita brings both analytical structure and human insight to every project. After years designing tailor-made journeys for high-net-worth clients, she refined an approach that balances precision, empathy, and creative vision.
Today, ByEssae serves as a one-stop collective for hotels, brands, and private clients seeking to merge operational excellence with emotional resonance. Whether building a retreat, reimagining guest journeys, or developing brand activations, Evita ensures each concept is both profitable and purposeful — seamless, restorative, and deeply human.
