Essence, offering the best of what's on offer on The Sunshine Coast.
Peregian Beach is the youngest township in the Noosa Shire* with a vibrant and passionate community committed to keeping this distinctive and stunning part of the Sunshine Coast unique and exceptional.
That was also the vision of essence developer and owner, Tony Scanlon, who wanted to create a space that would allow visitors to the town a chance to experience the charming coastal village feel of Peregian Beach whilst surrounded by a luxurious, contemporary resort that seamlessly blended onto the edge of the Noosa National Park and Biosphere with grace.
“Peregian Beach is the best location on the Sunshine Coast. What originally drew me to this area was Peregian’s pristine beach, the National Park on our doorstep and the unique village atmosphere,” he said.
“I have believed in this site for more than 20 years, seeing through the essence project has been like a labour of love for the Scanlon Group, it’s our passion to bring this special place to the rest of the world,” he said.
“Our vision was to enhance the area by producing an exceptional resort that compliments the village feel and culture and to enhance that by collaborating with like-minded creative businesses to bring the best of the best of what’s on offer in this local area to everyone who visits essence.”
That’s why we have teamed up with some of the most talented artists, designers, and creatives in our local area to bring the best of what is on offer in our special part of the world to essence. You can read more about them below.
