s we reach the final issue of the year, the NovemberDecember edition of International Property & Travel brings together the places that continue to capture attention, whether for how we live, invest or simply escape for a while.

about Berkshire’s balance of space and convenience, while James Wyatt shares his take on Surrey’s mix of elegant estates, good schools and rolling countryside.
Asia features strongly this issue. Worldwide Wellness visits two branded resorts, one in Bali and another in Koh Samui, showing how established names are redefining what a restorative break can be through thoughtful design, atmosphere and service. Island Index looks at Thailand’s property scene with insight from Martin Picherit, exploring where lifestyle and investment potential meet.
There is also Finery, a showcase of exceptional jewellery, an interiors feature focused on projects defined by craft and detail, and our regular motoring section for those who appreciate precision on the open road.
It feels a fitting end to the year, a collection of ideas, destinations and designs that remind us why certain places stay with us long after we have left them.

INTENTIONAL DESIGN
Recently completed in Jumeirah Golf Estates, The Hamptons Edition is a sculptural villa of under 10,000 sq. ft. designed by Yayine Melaku. It combines Milan’s refinement with Madrid’s warmth. Its flowing curves unify walls, ceilings, furniture and rugs, softening geometry and creating organic harmony.
The design reflects Yayine Melaku’s multicultural identity: Ethiopian in origin, American born and now based in Dubai. Each influence informs the villa, bringing heritage-inspired textures, American scale and comfort, and a cosmopolitan layering of global design.
Materials sourced exclusively through Liu Luxxe ensure cohesion throughout the home. Oyster White and Vera Florentina marble, Palissandro Blue, Shizuoka Oak and cracked vegan leather combine to create a refined palette, while rose-gold brass sanitaryware
and engineered white oak floors balance richness with warmth. Inside, a coutureinspired wardrobe, marble-wrapped master bath and five en-suite bedrooms speak to tailored luxury. The cinema doubles as a private screening room or, when its velvet curtain is drawn back, a light-filled children’s space. The office, clad in vegan leather with a marble mosaic wall, balances refinement with practicality.
Outdoors, a bespoke geometric marble mosaic pool anchors terraces and a versatile lawn, creating spaces equally suited to elegant entertaining or family living. The Hampton Edition embodies intentional luxury shaped by heritage, travel and identity, offering a residence that is as distinctive as it is personal.

GOLDEN COUNTIES
With world-class schools, green space and unrivalled links to the capital, Berkshire and Surrey continue to set the pace in the property market
erkshire draws attention from buyers who value countryside charm, excellent connectivity, and lifestyle benefits.
Charles Broadbent-Combe, Head of Sales at Savills Sunningdale, and Emma Creffield, Senior Associate Director at Strutt & Parker Ascot, both see the county as offering a rare combination of appeal.
“Berkshire truly offers the best of both worlds. It’s ideal for families seeking spacious homes and access to nature, while remaining exceptionally wellconnected for commuting professionals. Prestigious towns like Ascot and Windsor merge countryside charm with world-class amenities, from Michelinstarred restaurants and polo clubs to the renowned Wentworth Golf Club and top-performing schools.
Emma agrees. “Berkshire has long attracted high-net-worth buyers thanks to its balance of countryside living and prime location just west of London. Being close to Heathrow for those who split their time between the UK and overseas has always added to its appeal. Recent years have only strengthened this, with the arrival of the Elizabeth Line connecting Heathrow and Reading through central London. This has redefined commuting across London and the South East, reducing journey times and creating a reliable travel option – which in turn has attracted buyers to the area.”
Both agree that buyer behaviour is evolving. Charles explains, “Buyer preferences are diverse, meaning no single property type dominates the market. Contemporary homes often appeal to
younger families and professionals who value energy efficiency and turnkey living. Meanwhile, expansive country residences, particularly those within prestigious private estates like Wentworth, remain highly sought after by ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking privacy, space and prestige.”
Emma adds: “We’ve seen a clear uptick in activity in areas close to the Elizabeth Line, including Twyford and Maidenhead. Many families now choose these locations because they offer easy access to London –especially those who only need to be in the city three days a week. Increasingly, London families are drawn to Berkshire for more space, excellent schools, and a slower-paced lifestyle, while overseas buyers value the balance between proximity to London and the countryside atmosphere. Demand at the top end of the market remains strong, with notable appetite for prime and super-prime properties.”
Lifestyle is another decisive factor in the county’s appeal. Charles observes, “The influence of lifestyle amenities on buyer decisions is significant. Many buyers are first drawn to the area through word of mouth, often inspired by outstanding schools or sporting facilities recommended by friends and family. These initial impressions frequently evolve into serious interest. World-class golf clubs like Wentworth attract buyers keen to live nearby and pursue their passions. Berkshire is also home to some of the most prestigious polo clubs globally, including the iconic Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park.”
Emma expands on this: “Berkshire is a real lifestyle location. The relatively small county offers a huge
range of leisure options, from golf courses like Berkshire Golf Club to world-class racing at Ascot. There are also luxurious retreats such as Coworth Park, Pennyhill Park and The Fairmont. Residents are spoiled for choice with Michelin-starred dining at The Fat Duck, Hinds Head and Waterside Inn in Bray, and Woven at Coworth Park. It’s no surprise Berkshire has even attracted the attention of the film industry, with locations such as Dorney Court and The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club featured in productions including Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, and The Crown.”
Recent transport improvements have further shifted demand. Charles says, “We’ve seen a noticeable rise in buyers who commute to London but are now willing to look further afield, with Windsor, Maidenhead, and Taplow becoming increasingly popular. These Thames-side towns offer an exceptional lifestyle, combining riverside living with
outstanding schools and strong community spirit. Their appeal is drawing in buyers who may not have previously considered the area.”
Emma concurs: “The Elizabeth Line has been a game changer. Areas within close proximity to it are seeing strong demand. This trend reflects a shift in priorities — buyers are placing greater value on lifestyle as well as connectivity. There’s growing interest in turnkey properties, particularly those offering modern builds with ample space and high specifications, including amenities like gyms and swimming pools.” Interest comes from both home and abroad. Charles notes: “Many overseas buyers are familiar with Berkshire, drawn by world-class sporting facilities and iconic events such as Royal Ascot. Education is another major draw, with schools such as Eton College and Wellington College renowned globally. Domestic buyers are drawn by the sense of space, greenery, and lifestyle balance.”
Emma adds: “The international interest tends to come from the Middle East and the United States, particularly families drawn by ACS International School Egham and TASIS. Regardless of origin, buyers continue to value the county’s lifestyle offering.”
Charles closes with: “I think demand will continue to grow along the Elizabeth Line as that location builds its reputation as a commuting hotspot offering a balance between countryside and London connectivity. Regardless of market conditions, the limited supply of first-class properties and tight planning laws mean there will always be strong support for values in the area.”
“Buyer preferences are diverse, meaning no single property type dominates the market”

Jmes Wyatt Director Barton Wyatt
urrey’s position in the luxury property market is well established, and James Wyatt, Director at Barton Wyatt, shares his perspective on why it holds such appeal.
“Several factors dominate – schooling is key. There are a huge number of top schools in Surrey including Charterhouse, Cranleigh, St Catherines, Epsom College, Sir William Perkins, Guilford High and a huge number of superb prep schools too.”
For many buyers, access to excellent education is a decisive factor. James also highlights the appeal of Surrey’s housing stock: “There is a great deal of high-quality housing in Surrey. World-renowned gated golfing estates such as Wentworth and St George’s Hill are well known, but the beautiful rolling Surrey Hills are just as popular.” Combined with transport advantages, Surrey’s attraction becomes clear: “Easy and fast access into London by train. Heathrow and Gatwick airports close at hand and Farnborough airport for business and private aviation.”
When asked about the types of buyers currently active in Surrey’s luxury sector, James notes that it remains predominantly domestic. “Largely UK buyers with a smattering of Middle Eastern buyers.” These buyers are drawn not only by lifestyle benefits but also by Surrey’s stability and prestige.
On pricing trends over the past year, James is candid: “Prices have slipped backwards by about 5% in the last 12 months. Rather less than Prime Central London, but then the Surrey market hadn’t blown up into the huge bubble that London had!” This relative stability continues to make Surrey an appealing proposition for investors and homebuyers alike.
Certain areas stand out in Surrey’s luxury property scene. “The cream always rises to the top so the prime estates of St Georges Hill and Wentworth are still doing well.” These locations remain consistently sought after, reflecting their established reputations and exclusivity.
“The fundamentals remain solid so we expect Surrey to continue to attract wealthy buyers. We expect to see a continuing trend of London families moving West for larger houses and gardens for a lower price.”
James emphasises that factors such as proximity to London, schools, and green space are essential. “But, in addition, the UK legal system is attractive to overseas buyers. Our sophisticated culture and the fact that Surrey is perhaps one of the greenest counties in England with more than 22% of the county covered in woodland adds to the appeal.”
International buyers also play a significant role in the Surrey market. “Still a very important element in the market. In our area, international buyers nearly always have children which they want educated in the UK.” This explains why certain prime areas remain consistently in demand.
Looking ahead, James offers an optimistic view: “The fundamentals remain solid so we expect Surrey to continue to attract wealthy buyers. We expect to see a continuing trend of London families moving west for larger houses and gardens for a lower price.” This trend suggests Surrey will maintain its position as a preferred choice for high-end buyers.
“There is a great deal of high-quality housing in Surrey. World-renowned gated golfing estates such as Wentworth and St George’s Hill are well known, but the beautiful rolling Surrey Hills are just as popular”
The demand for luxury rental properties in Surrey is also noteworthy. James explains: “The high costs of stamp duty and other transactional costs have pushed a significant number of potential buyers towards renting, particularly where the expected stay is limited. Many transitory business people may only stay three years so a rental even at a high level may make sense.” This shift is reflected in the premium rental sector.
“There are more lettings in excess of £20,000 a month and Wentworth has recently seen rents as high as £30,000 a week,” James observes, underlining the strength and diversity of Surrey’s rental market. For those seeking a high-end home without committing to purchase, Surrey’s rental sector offers premium options across its prime locations.
Looking ahead James paints a picture of a resilient and evolving luxury property market in Surrey – one defined by strong fundamentals, quality housing, excellent schooling, and lifestyle benefits that are hard to match.

CULTURAL LANDMARK
A STRIKING NEW MUSEUM IN ALMATY BRINGS WORLD-CLASS ARCHITECTURE, THOUGHTFUL DESIGN, AND STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES TOGETHER
The Almaty Museum of Arts is set to become a defining cultural institution in Kazakhstan and a dynamic hub for artistic exchange across Central Asia. Designed by Chapman Taylor, an internationally recognised firm of award-winning architects, master planners, and interior designers, the project was developed in close collaboration with engineering consultants Buro Happold and museum planning experts Lord Cultural Resources. Together, they ensured the museum meets the highest standards of design, sustainability, and functionality.
The architecture emphasises openness and light, with elegant glass facades that integrate the building into its urban surroundings while maintaining energy efficiency. Inside, two principal exhibition halls form the heart of the museum: a flexible temporary gallery designed for major international shows, and a permanent hall dedicated to thematic displays from the growing collection. Outdoors, large-scale installations by artists such as Yinka Shonibare, Jaume Plensa, and Alicja Kwade further enhance the museum’s identity as a cultural landmark.
Beyond exhibitions, the museum incorporates a wide range of visitor-oriented facilities. These include dedicated artist rooms, a multipurpose hall for talks and educational programmes, a professional conservation laboratory, and climate-controlled storage spaces for delicate works of art. A distinctive highlight is the transparent conservation studio with stained-glass windows, offering visitors a unique opportunity to observe restoration processes - the first of its kind in Kazakhstan.
Officially opened in September 2025, the Almaty Museum of Arts has already established itself as a new cultural landmark, strengthening Kazakhstan’s role in the international arts scene and providing a vital space for creativity, dialogue, and exchange.

estate market of St. Moritz. Our deep knowledge of the region and a refined network of contacts allow us to offer exclusive residences in the most enchanting locations of the Engadin and beyond. We go beyond traditional brokerage: we craft bespoke experiences with meticulous care, from personalized consultancy and discreet property management to elegant interior design and high-end concierge services. Each residence is a curated masterpiece, where comfort, privacy, and natural beauty blend in perfect harmony. With Maura Wasescha AG, luxury becomes a way of life—exclusive, refined, and truly exceptional.
QUIET LUXURY
IN WINTER, THE ENGADIN TRANSFORMS. FOR MAURA WASESCHA, FINDING THE RIGHT HOME HERE AND IN ITALY IS ABOUT CREATING SPACES WHERE LIFE FLOWS NATURALLY
There are places that reveal their true character in winter. St. Moritz and the Engadin are among them. At 1,800 metres, the air sharpens, the snow settles like silk across the mountains, and the valley takes on a clarity that feels almost otherworldly.
Days here are bright and crisp, nights glitter under endless stars, and life seems to slow into a rhythm shaped by the season. For those who know it well, the Engadin is more than a destination: it is a way of living. While winter elsewhere can feel harsh, this Alpine valley offers something different: exhilaration and calm in equal measure. Skiers carve through powder on Corviglia, horse drawn
sleighs glide across the frozen Lake St. Moritz, and evenings are spent fireside with a glass of Barolo or a hot mulled wine.
Luxury here lies not in extravagance, but in the purity of the landscape and the understated refinement of mountain life. This is what draws Maura Wasescha’s clients. They come for beauty, yes, but also for the discretion and authenticity that have grown rare elsewhere. For Maura Wasescha AG, property is never simply about bricks and beams; it is about finding homes and creating spaces where life naturally unfolds. Perhaps in an elegant chalet in Suvretta with windows that catch the morning light on Piz Margna, in a historic
Engadin house in Zuoz with centuries of warmth built into its walls, or in a contemporary residence in St. Moritz where architecture and mountain views merge with ease. Each property is chosen for its spirit as much as for its structure. Materials that speak to the senses, design that breathes, and locations that offer both privacy and presence – these are the hallmarks of the Maura Wasescha approach.
Beyond the Engadin, Italy also calls. Just across the border lie lakefront villas, Tuscan farmhouses, and Mediterranean retreats, each with a heritage and lifestyle of its own. For many, the combination is irresistible: Alpine winters spent among the peaks
of Switzerland, summers steeped in Italy’s warmth, culture and sea air. Together, they represent the very best of European living. In this, Maura Wasescha is more than a guide to real estate; she is a curator of lives well lived. For those ready to do more than visit, the key is waiting. Here are some of the highlights in Maura Wasescha’s exceptional portfolio.

ALTITUDE APPEAL
From snow days to summer trails, MYNE’s Nikolaus Thomale charts the next wave of Alpine ownership
Nikolaus Thomale Co-Founder & Managing Director of Property Co-Ownership Platform
ikolaus Thomale, Co-Founder & Managing Director of property co-ownership platform MYNE, shares his insights into what’s shaping today’s ski property market, from lifestyle priorities to evolving ownership models.
According to Nikolaus, “Demand for ski homes today is driven by a blend of lifestyle, investment, and rental income factors. For many, the appeal of Alpine properties lies in quality of life – so think fresh air, year-round outdoor activities, and extended stays combining work and family stays.” He adds that “High-net-worth buyers also see ski homes as portfolio diversification and inflation hedges, with long-term value strongest in resorts with either high altitude or all year-round offerings. Fractional ownership models, such as MYNE, have also emerged and allow families to co-own high-quality properties without the usual hassles and prohibitive costs of full ownership.”
When asked which destinations are showing the greatest resilience in the luxury segment, Nikolaus notes that “High-altitude destinations with reliable snow continue to show strong resilience in the luxury ski market. Luxury chalet prices in these markets increased by 4.4% in the 12 months to June 2023, the strongest growth outside the pandemic years since 2014.” Still, he cautions that altitude isn’t the only success factor. “Destinations at mid and lower elevations that are adapting to climate change
by offering both winter and summer leisure facilities are also particularly resilient. These destinations benefit from broader appeal, welldeveloped infrastructure, and a wide range of year-round activities, which help sustain visitor demand even outside the traditional ski season.”
Climate and shifting weather patterns have inevitably shaped buyer behaviour. As Nikolaus explains, “It really depends on what the destinations have to offer. Properties above 1,800 metres or with glacier access are continuing to see strong demand.” Yet, it’s not just about snow reliability anymore. “At the same time, buyers are also looking for destinations with year-round facilities, including hiking, biking, golf, and wellness activities. The Austrian Alps, in particular, are drawing those who prefer active all-weather outdoor pursuits over crowded Mediterranean resorts, offering opportunities for mountaineering, mountain biking, paragliding, and kayaking.”
Buyer preferences have also evolved in terms of design and amenities. “Buyers are leaning towards modernity; looking for wellness facilities, the option of premium concierge services, energy-efficient design, and ski-in ski-out convenience. While traditional chalets remain popular in some markets, fully equipped properties that make living easy are selling fastest.” Nikolaus says convenience has become non-negotiable: “What really matters now is convenience and experience. Buyers don’t want to
spend weekends fixing boilers or chasing maintenance issues. They want a space that is comfortable, stylish, and elevates their holiday experience.”
Wellness-focused features are now high on the list. “We’re also seeing demand for wellness-focused amenities as the global wellness tourism market is expected to reach US$1.02 trillion by 2030. MYNE’s chalets and apartments in particular stand out, combining premium locations with modern on-site wellness amenities such as private saunas, fitness areas, and hot tubs.”
Dual-season destinations are another defining factor in today’s market. As Nikolaus puts it, “Dual-season opportunities are now a key differentiator. Destinations and properties that invest in summer infrastructure attract buyers that are interested in getting the most out of their property. Some buyers prioritise ‘snow-sure’ destinations with extended ski seasons, while others will seek destinations offering a mix of ski and summer activities and a year-round lively scene.” This trend is reshaping resort economies. “Oneseason destinations are starting to redefine themselves to maximise year-round appeal, in order to become thriving communities throughout winter and summer. Buyers are increasingly drawn to locations that shine in both seasons, ensuring consistent use and a more vibrant mountain lifestyle.”
For MYNE, this approach has tangible benefits: “MYNE’s co-ownership model mirrors this thinking, encouraging year-round use, with properties occupied on average 85% of the year compared with the standard of less than 65%, which also benefits local economies in the off-season.”
The motivation behind ski property ownership is also changing. “From my perspective, the market has shifted towards lifestyle-driven ownership. People want a holiday home they can truly use for weeks at a time with family or friends, rather than an investment they barely occupy.” Nikolaus believes co-ownership directly addresses this need. “This is why interest in co-ownership is on the rise: sharing a property with two to eight people allows flexible access at a fraction of the cost of full ownership, while all
legal, maintenance, and management responsibilities are handled. At MYNE, we have seen bookings up 110% year-on-year and a 117% increase in the first half of 2025.”
Looking ahead, Nikolaus expects the market to keep evolving. “Over the next decade, the ski property market is likely to evolve from a winter-only focus to a truly year-round lifestyle sector. Buyers are increasingly seeking homes that integrate wellness, outdoor recreation, and digital connectivity, allowing them to enjoy the mountains in all seasons.”
He predicts that co-ownership will continue to grow in popularity: “We’re also going to see a rise in co-ownership within
the ski property market, given the lower costs with not having to purchase an entire property outright. It’s already a model that maintains strong occupancy throughout the year, and provides buyers the convenience of a fully managed, premium experience.”
For Nikolaus, success in the coming decade will depend on balance: “Properties that combine convenience, modern design, and flexibility will stand out. In the current property landscape, destinations that invest in both lifestyle amenities and all-year-round infrastructure will ultimately see the most resilient long-term demand, attracting owners who value experience, community, and convenience alongside traditional ski access.”
“High-altitude destinations with reliable snow continue to show strong resilience in the luxury ski market”

Concours of Elegance concoursofelegance.co.uk
Hampton Court Palace www.hrp.org.uk
The 13th edition of the annual Concours of Elegance attracted over 15,000 visitors to the Royal Palace gardens over three days in early September to view a display of more than 70 rare and significant road and competition cars participating in the concours. The judges chose a 1926 Phantom I as Best in Show and awarded a total of 48 prizes to the immaculately prepared cars for their factory fresh appearance.
AUTOMOTIVE LEGACY
The Best in Show winner, known as ‘The Phantom of Love’, was originally created as the ultimate expression of devotion by Clarence Gasque for his beloved wife, heiress to the Woolworths fortune. It cost £6,500 when new – at a time when the average UK house price was just £500. The Rococo interior, inspired by Marie Antoinette’s sedan chair at the Victoria and Albert Museum, features authentic Aubusson tapestries,
gilt decoration, and porcelain vases filled with enamel flowers that “never die” – symbolising everlasting love.
Tragically, Clarence Gasque died just 18 months after commissioning the car. It was then stored until 1952, when it was purchased by Rolls Royce collector Stanley Sears, before passing through Japanese, American and Australian collections. It is one of the most famous surviving Rolls-Royces, entirely original and presented exactly as it was intended nearly 100 years ago.
The unrivalled event spanned a century of automotive rarity, beauty and style in the royal setting of the magnificent 500 year old Tudor Grade I palace, famed as the favourite home of King Henry VIII.

Exclusive Creation
The Bugatti Programme Solitaire marks a new era in automotive exclusivity, offering one off vehicles of unparalleled artistry.
Its first creation, Brouillard, is a breathtaking coupé inspired by Ettore Bugatti’s favourite horse, celebrating both heritage and innovation. Rooted in Bugatti’s century long tradition of coachbuilding, this commission blends timeless design with the latest engineering.
Colour Transition
Bentley Motors has introduced Ombre by Mulliner, a new bespoke paint finish requiring over 56 hours of expert craftsmanship.
Created at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, this technique blends two contrasting colours seamlessly along the vehicle’s body, offering a unique effect. The first example is a Continental GT Speed, showcased at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. This model transitions from Topaz at the front to Windsor Blue at the rear, with the fade following the rear haunch line.
Mulliner offers three curated colour blends for this technique, each chosen to ensure a smooth transition. The process demands precision, with paint technicians adjusting application to account for each colour’s behaviour, ensuring every car is distinctive. The interior mirrors the exterior fade, with bespoke hides, dragonfly accents, satin veneers, and Bentley’s rotating display. Ombre by Mulliner is now available globally through Bentley’s retailer network.
Bentley Motors www.bentleymotors.com
Built on the pinnacle W16 platform, Brouillard delivers 1,600 PS with a carefully sculpted exterior that transitions between dark and light tones to create a striking silhouette. Inside, craftsmanship reaches new heights with custom woven tartan fabrics, green tinted carbon fibre, machined aluminium, and a glass roof that evokes a cathedral like space. Every detail carries significance, from embroidered horse motifs to a gear shifter containing a miniature sculpture of Brouillard.
Limited to two projects per year, Programme Solitaire offers unmatched exclusivity. Unveiled at Monterey Car Week, Brouillard embodies Bugatti’s legacy, celebrating a fusion of heritage, artistry and technical mastery.
REVIVAL SPIRIT
Goodwood Revival transforms a historic airfield into a vibrant stage of vintage racing, eccentric fashion and timeless British charm
Britain is renowned for its eccentrics, but they are hard to spot amongst the daily commute or weekly trip to the shops to stock up on provisions from your local grocery store. However, if you are on the road during the early days of September and happen to see a vintage Rolls-Royce, classic Ford Cortina or open top Riley driving along, there is a good chance it is being driven by an eccentric heading to Goodwood for the UK’s biggest gathering of quirky people intent on having the greatest fun.
Some think Goodwood Revival is a retro car racing event, but it is much more than that. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of serious gladiatorial racing taking place, with cars and motorbikes as old as your grandad or great grandad, but the allure of the world’s largest gathering of eccentrics draws a crowd of over 150,000 people from across the globe who join in the fun, dress up, and try their best to match the spiffing Brits.
The dress code theme this year, instigated by the amazing Goodwood Estate organisers, was the flower power period of the 1960s hippy generation. Make peace, not war. Clothing colours and patterns were styled by a new wave of designers inspired by their psychedelic “trips”, using drugs not prescribed by the family doctor.
The Goodwood Estate’s wartime airfield, near Chichester in West Sussex, was converted into a racing circuit in 1947 and hosted many of the world’s famous racing drivers during its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. However, in 1966 it was closed due to safety concerns, but the Duke of Richmond “revived” the track and brought it back into use in 1998.
The Revival is one of the three main motorsport themed events taking place each year, beginning with the Members’ Meeting in spring, similar in style to the Revival, and followed by the Festival of Speed in July. The Revival is the finale of the year, as autumn’s golden sunshine almost always shines on this very special event to herald the changing season.

STRIKING STYLE
ISA GT 66M is the latest model in ISA Yachts’ Granturismo line and represents a refined evolution of a celebrated series.
Designed by Team for Design, led by Enrico Gobbi, the yacht combines sportiness with elegance through flowing proportions and precise detailing. Its teak clad bow offers a multifunctional lounge with minimalist furnishings and dramatic fireplaces, while expansive floor to ceiling windows connect the interior to the sea. The metallic blue grey hull, inspired by luxury sports cars, enhances the vessel’s
dynamic presence. Wide side decks lead to generous outdoor spaces including a stern infinity pool and a sky lounge with Jacuzzi.
Interiors feature warm woods, marble and satin brass, with a full beam master suite and seven guest cabins. ISA GT 66M reflects craftsmanship, style and innovation in the Grand Sea Coupé tradition.
TIMELESS ESCAPE
Sunreef has unveiled the spectacular 65-metre Explorer catamaran that pushes the boundaries of superyacht design.
At 1,800GT, it is the largest luxury catamaran ever conceived, pairing the stability and efficiency of twin hulls with the indulgence of a world-class yacht. Accommodation spans seven double cabins, including a palatial owner’s suite with foredeck lounge, plus two VIPs and four further guest cabins.
Social spaces flow across two decks, with dining for 14, multiple lounges, a cinema-style bar and two pools. The vast beach club aft offers direct access to the sea, toys and a gym, while crew quarters for 22 ensure impeccable service. With a cruising speed of 14 knots, long-range capability and sleek Sunreef styling, the 65M Explorer represents unrestrained luxury.
Compact Power
At 80ft, the Zeelander 8 is the builder’s most ambitious yacht to date, and perhaps its most refined. The exterior’s trademark curves are matched inside by a clean, fluid interior that balances engineering with comfort. Each hull is tailored to its owner, and the first is a masterclass in restraint: white Alcantara, gloss cabinetry, leather trim, and pale Corian surfaces come together in quietly confident fashion.
There’s scale, too. The main deck offers expansive dining and lounging space, while three plush cabins lie below. A king-size owner’s suite sits amidships, wrapped in light and wood-grain composite finishes that mimic macassar ebony, minus the upkeep.
Smart layout choices, like the repositioned bar and galley, give the yacht a custom feel throughout, while thoughtful storage and transitions between spaces speak to Zeelander’s exacting standards. Even the crew quarters can be dressed for guest use.
This is a yacht that avoids spectacle for its own sake, favouring intent, utility, and long-term pleasure.

UNICORN: THE MYTHICAL BEAST IN ART
The first known appearance of what looks like a unicorn dates from as back as 2600BC. Seals from the Indus Valley Civilisation show a cowlike animal, possibly an ancestor of our modern cattle, but with one central horn instead of two. Archaeologists assume these images were fertility symbols and it’s not hard to guess why.
A new exhibition in Germany delves into the stories and legends behind this mythical beast that has inspired so many legends and works of art.
Highlights include a 16th century copy of Titian’s work Orpheus Charming the Wild Animals, René Magritte’s The Meteor, and Arnold Böcklin’s magical The Silence of the Forest.
Some of the most beautiful images of unicorns are found in illuminated bestiaries of the medieval period. Typically they are shown as white and docile, and are associated with purity and Christianity. So the unicorn is a complex creature, associated with both energy and purity, fertility and virginity,
the male and female. The fascination with the unicorn persists to this day in fantasy films, literature and art where the creature is often associated with magical forces.
The exhibition at the Barberini Museum also traces the footprints of the unicorn in natural science and medicine, as it was held to have healing powers. The 150 works spanning 4,000 years include paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures, and tapestries, many of them rarely loaned.

Egypt’s Enduring Influence
With the full opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo scheduled for this November, various exhibitions related to the land and its enduring culture are taking place. Among these are Making Egypt at the Young V&A in London where, as you would expect, a light-hearted show suited to youngsters is on until 2nd November. Expect lots of Egyptian related exhibits from mummies – of course – to cartoons and how ancient Egypt continues to influence design today.
The theme of Egyptian influence is explored more deeply in the rooms of the Soane Museum in London where Egypt: Influencing British Design 1775-2025, opened this month. Sir John Soane was himself a great collector and his private museum can be found just around the corner from the British Museum with its treasure trove of Egyptian artifacts. Egyptomania, which reached its height with the discovery and opening of the famous tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922, was already well established before this date due to the many travellers undertaking the so-called Grand Tour from the 16th century onwards. The Grand Tour peaked in the 18th century when wealthy families, aristocrats and artists converged on Italy and beyond, working, studying and collecting. Sir John Soane undertook the Grand Tour to Italy in 1778 as part of his architectural education.
Egypt: Influencing British Design showcases drawings from Soane’s collection alongside architectural designs from the last 200 years as well as decorative items from biscuit tins to sewing machines heavily influenced by Egyptian aesthetics. Soane’s own appreciation of the architecture of ancient Egypt was expressed in a lifetime of study and collecting, including his acquisition of the Sarcophagus of the architect Pharaoh Seti I. Other drawings by renowned architects such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Robert Adam and Owen Jones, and decorative objects including Wedgwood ceramics and Regency silverware trace the huge influence of Egyptian style on British architecture and interior design right up to Art Deco and Postmodernism. Oddly, Soane himself became wary of the fascination with ancient Egyptian culture which he thought “frivolous” despite participating in what he called this “rage for novelty”.
Among the buildings that the exhibition investigates are the Egyptian Hall on Piccadilly of 1812, Temple Works in Leeds, George Coles’ Carlton Cinemas and John Outram’s Sphinx Hill of 1991 – a Grade II listed house on the banks of the Thames in Oxfordshire.
Until 18th January 2026 at the Sir John Soane Museum London www.soane.org
NEW GALLERY OPENING
“The long white roads are a temptation –what quests they propose,” wrote Eric Ravilious, speaking of the English countryside. How the Sussex countryside that gave rise to such words has changed!
Long gone are the long white roads deserted of cars and lorries but the famous watercolour Cuckmere Haven still epitomises this mental picture. The work is part of the collection held just a few miles along the coast from Cuckmere, at the Towner gallery in Eastbourne which holds the largest collection of Ravilious’s work, much of which has been until now held in the reserves. Next month a new space dedicated to the artist will open at the gallery with a permanent display of his watercolours, preparatory drawings, prints and ceramics.
Ravilious died aged just 39 while serving as a war artist but he left more than 400 illustrations and lithographic designs for books. His style of engraving owes much to Thomas Bewick. He also designed ceramics for Wedgewood and advertisements for London Transport. Most of his paintings are watercolours and he was especially inspired by the South Downs which he said altered his way of painting: “the colour of the landscape was so lovely and the design so beautifully obvious,” he wrote.Thanks to this passion, and works like Cuckmere Haven we can still enjoy a vision of Thirties rural England

LOIS DODD
Still working at the age of 98, that’s some boast. It took a long time for the art world to appreciate the American painter Lois Dodd – she did not have her first solo show until 2018 – but her work is now in top collections such as the Met, MoMA and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art.
New Jersey-born Dodd has lived and worked on the East Coast for the past 70 years. She studied textile design and in the post-War era spent some time in Italy mostly “looking at other art”. On her return to America she co-founded the Tanager Gallery, an artist-run space which was frequented by figures such as Alex Katz and Willem de Kooning. Despite the proximity of such artists, and all the noise of Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, Dodd held fast to her own patient observational style. She is renowned for her tranquil landscapes and interiors, mostly devoid of people. Some 100 of these works, mostly from the
1960s and 1970s, are now on show as the Kunstmuseum Den Haag stages the first retrospective in Europe of her work. Once again, a neglected female artist is finally having her day in the sun.

ALLSPICE:
Michael Rakowitz & Ancient Cultures
Until 12th May at the Acropolis Museum, Athens, Greece www.theacropolismuseum.gr
It’s hard to know what to make of the decision by the Acropolis Museum in Athens to stage a solo show by Iraqi-American artist Michael Rakowitz (b. 1973).
Created in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture (NEON) original ancient artifacts from Mesopotamia and the southeastern Mediterranean engage in dialogue with Rakowitz’s modern re-workings to delve into issues of cultural heritage, loss and

This is the first in-depth presentation of contemporary works alongside ancient artifacts at the museum and visitors will judge for themselves whether the “allspice” of quirky objects, many made of recycled plastics, paper and other materials, is to their taste.

Moving beyond the cliché of the Amazon as merely a rainforest inhabited by “Indians” cast as victims of destructive progress, the Amazonie exhibition in Paris presents this vast and complex region through the eyes and creations of its indigenous peoples.
Plural and diverse, these communities are both ancient and contemporary – deeply rooted in ancestral history while firmly oriented toward the future. Over millennia, they have shaped and cared for the forest, which they share with spirits, animals, and countless other beings, alongside Westerners who have often inflicted devastating harm on their lands and traditions.
Their expressions – whether through body painting, song, dance, or other art forms – are living reflections of an environment that is at once vibrant and endangered.
This major exhibition, part of the Brazil–France 2025 Season, brings together more than 200 works, ranging from traditional objects, photographs, and videos to contemporary installations, languages, songs, and body graphics. Conceived from the perspective of Amazonian people themselves, it offers a sensory journey that will resonate with anthropologists, contemporary art lovers, and environmentalists alike.
With numerous side events, it is also designed as a familyfriendly experience, inviting visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in sounds, colours, shapes, and stories: songs in native languages, hybrid figures shifting between human and animal, and cosmogonies where the forest emerges as a living library.
Yet Amazonie goes well beyond immersion. It proposes a new way of seeing nature – one that decolonises knowledge, safeguards cultures, and challenges stereotypes. Above all, it reminds us that the Amazon rainforest is not only a threatened “green lung,” but also an abundant cultural space, rich in ancestral wisdom and vibrant contemporary creativity.

The Bugatti Tourbillon by Jacob & Co. is where high watchmaking meets hypercar engineering excelence. Designed in tandem with Bugatti’s latest Tourbillon vehicle, the timepiece mirrors its automotive sibling both aesthetically and mechanically.
Housed in a case echoing the car’s sculpted form, the watch showcases Jacob & Co.’s fastest 30-second flying tourbillon, an 80-hour power reserve, and a sapphire-crystal engine block with 16 moving pistons – a miniature feat of mechanical art. Measuring 52 × 44mm, the case reveals its inner workings through sapphire windows shaped like the car’s side panels.
VINTAGE OBSESSIONS
The youngest daughter of a jeweller’s family, Yvonne Léon grew up among sparkling treasures. A fashion graduate and former stylist, she quickly found her true calling in stones and vintage pieces. From her grandmother’s jewel boxes to flea market discoveries, she reinterprets classics with a playful, modern touch.
Her fashion background gave her a taste for freedom, and in jewellery design she disrupts: rings for the ears, under-lobe armours, mismatched pairs, always bold and over-stated. Guided by instinct and a love for women of all ages, she bridges generations with pieces that balance haute-joaillerie craftsmanship and irresistible, accessible gems.
From her Parisian workshop to Saint-Germain, Yvonne Léon creates jewellery that is rare, unexpected, and joyfully indulgent.
For those seeking an even rarer statement, the Bugatti Tourbillon Baguette enriches the design with 328 baguette-cut diamonds and 18 rubies, set in white gold. Limited to just 18 pieces, both watches redefine what precision and imagination can achieve.

The EVO treatment adds enhanced durability and sportiness, with a titanium case, screw-down crown, integrated rubber strap, 80m water resistance, and the patented FlexRing shock absorber. For MB&F’s 20th anniversary, two titanium editions debut, featuring rare salmon or peacock green CVD dial plates.
Both models reveal a hand-finished movement through a sapphire caseback, with refined arches suspending the balance wheel. Limited in number, the LM101 EVO features heritage craftsmanship with contemporary engineering, creating a watch designed for daily wear and lasting appeal. MB&F
Ming Lampson marks twenty-five years of her eponymous brand with ‘25’ – a collection of twentyfive one-of-a-kind jewels that showcase her highly original designs, vibrant use of colour, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Exploring the idea of connections, ‘25’ reflects on how jewellery and gemstones tie people and places together: Ming’s childhood in Hong Kong, her global network of gem dealers, and the vibrant streets of Notting Hill, which have long inspired her work.
Comprising twenty-five extraordinary pieces, the collection is both a personal milestone and a triumph of artistic innovation, with highlights including multi-coloured pavé sapphires celebrating the kaleidoscopic spirit of the Notting Hill Carnival, and a chunky street-style chain necklace reimagined as a modern Art Deco-inspired emerald and diamond collar.

FOUR SEASONS RESORT
BALI AT SAYAN
JUNGLE SANCTUARY IN UBUD WHERE ANCIENT RITUALS MEET MODERN RECOVERY
Set in the Ayung River Valley, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has recently elevated its wellness offering with a refreshed Sacred River Spa. Reimagined in autumn, the spa now blends its treetop setting with Ubud’s healing energy and the Balinese philosophy of sekala and niskala –the seen and unseen forces said to shape existence.
The sanctuary features seven private villas named after sacred elements such as Sejuk, Gending and Teja, with treatments centred on renewal and energy balance. Six Balinese Healing Rituals anchor the new menu, including Restu Bumi, a cleansing ritual with herbs and gemstones, and Tirta Ening, a therapy drawing on the island’s holy springs.
The three-night Niskala Wellness Retreat combines these local traditions with private yoga, a Chakra Ceremony and the signature Sacred Nap – a guided meditation in a silk hammock.
The resort has also introduced a dedicated Fitness Hub, a riverside space that merges modern training and advanced recovery with time-honoured practices. By aligning with the global interest in longevity tourism, it allows guests to move from ancient Balinese rituals to state-of-the-art recovery, all in one of Bali’s most tranquil settings.
SIX SENSES SAMUI
WELLBEING AND MINDFUL LIVING SHAPE THE EXPERIENCE AT SIX SENSES SAMUI
On Koh Samui’s northern tip, Six Senses Samui brings together wellness, sustainability and design inspired by a traditional Thai fishing village. Its villas are built to harmonise with the landscape, offering either lush tropical surrounds or sweeping views across the Gulf of Thailand.
Dining spans dramatic cliffside decks and laid-back beachside settings, from wood-fired dishes at Drift at the Beach to the signature Dining on the Rocks, where contemporary flavours meet panoramic horizons. Wellbeing runs through the resort’s rhythm of daily life. Guests can greet the sunrise in the pool, practise yoga overlooking the sea, or explore therapies at the Six Senses Spa, where treatments draw on botanicals, sound and movement.
Sustainability shapes much of the experience. The Farm on the Hill turns organic waste into resources, nurtures animals and supplies herbs and vegetables for both kitchen and spa, offering guests the chance to connect directly with mindful living practices.

Studio Sixty7 www.studiosixty7.co.uk
Suspended above the water in a quiet corner of the Maldives at the Sun Siyam Iru Fushi resort, Studio Sixty7 has reimagined this collection of water villas with barefoot luxury in mind. The interiors embrace simplicity and calm, where texture and neutral tones echo the natural surroundings.
Inspired by the rhythm of island life, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to encourage connection. Plastered walls, organic materials and sculptural, softly curved forms create a language of ease, balance and quiet sophistication. The result is a refined yet grounded retreat that celebrates the beauty of simplicity, inviting guests to slow down, sink in and feel completely at peace within the landscape.
Tucked along the shoreline and immersed in nature, the beach villas have been reimagined by Studio Sixty7 as calm, contemporary getaways. Once dated and overly decorative, the interiors have been stripped back to reveal a more refined, grounded sense of luxury, where texture, tone and balance do the talking.
AT SUN SIYAM IRU FUSHI IN THE MALDIVES, STUDIO SIXTY7 HAS REIMAGINED WATER AND BEACH VILLAS INTO SERENE RETREATS DEFINED BY TEXTURE, TONE AND BAREFOOT LUXURY
A palette of soft neutrals, tactile surfaces and sculptural forms creates a space that feels both effortless and elevated, proving that less really can deliver more.
Outdoor areas take inspiration from spa sanctuaries, complete with double basins, open air showers and a seamless connection to the landscape, designed to restore a sense of stillness and ease.

THORP’S HOLIDAY HOME IN PHUKET COMBINES PRIVACY, SCALE AND THAI CRAFTSMANSHIP WITHIN THE TRISARA HOTEL ESTATE
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
For one of their longstanding clients, Thorp has created a remarkable holiday home in Phuket, a property that balances scale, seclusion, and sensitivity to its surroundings. Designed to accommodate up to sixteen guests, the residence serves as both a retreat for family and friends and a celebration of Thai craftsmanship and culture.
Set within the private, gated estate of the Trisara Hotel, the home benefits from full security and access to hotel staff, an asset for international homeowners managing property from abroad. The house includes luxuries such as three swimming pools, a cinema room, a gym, and its own private beach.
Thorp www.thorp.co.uk
The interiors embrace a refined yet grounded aesthetic. Linen upholstery, fabric-panelled walls, and wardrobes add tactility, while antiques and repurposed Thai garments weave local identity into the design. Darkly stained timber ceilings provide drama and warmth; Thorp reworked the original orangetoned woods into a richer, cohesive palette. Furnishings blend cultures: British-made pieces given Thai-inflected silhouettes complement authentic Thai antiques.
Thorp also reimagined outdoor areas to create intuitive connections between inside and out. White pebbles soften dark roof surfaces visible from terraces, tying architecture to the natural setting.
Throughout, the project reflects collaboration with local Thai craftspeople, rooting the home in its context while achieving international luxury standards.
Architecturally, the property is arranged as interconnected villa-like suites in an H-shaped layout beneath one expansive roof. Each bedroom functions as a self-contained unit with dressing room and bathroom, offering privacy while maintaining unity. Many follow a shared rhythm: beds oriented toward panoramic views, desks positioned behind; others adapt spatially from day to night.
DESIGN ALCHEMY
FOR OVER 30 YEARS, FOUNDER CHIUNG HUI FU OF YULI DESIGN HAS BALANCED IMAGINATION WITH PRECISION. SHE REFLECTS ON INSTINCT, VISION, AND THE SPACES IN-BETWEEN
MS FU CHIONG-HUI Design Director of Yuli Design
Question. Yuli Design was founded in 1992 and has continued to evolve over the past three decades. Can you share the story behind the studio’s inception and how its core philosophy has either transformed or remained consistent throughout the years?
Answer. I’ve always enjoyed creating happiness for others and I am someone who welcomes challenges. I understand that everyone perceives happiness and satisfaction differently, through their senses, expectations of quality, and budget. My core philosophy is to craft tailored experiences based on these individual needs, and that principle continues to guide Yuli Design forward.
Q. Your studio blends dramatic aesthetics with disciplined spatial logic. How do you strike a balance between fantastical elements, such as surreal lighting or whimsical forms, and functional, fluid design?
A. I’m a highly imaginative and curious person. For each project, I go to great lengths to understand the client’s aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
Over time, with accumulated life experience, maintaining that balance has become second nature. In design, I maintain a 1:1 ratio between aesthetics and functionality –functionality is vital, and I often embed it subtly within the visual elements.
Q. Over the years, Yuli Design has skilfully combined opulence with minimalism. How do you determine whether a project calls for visual richness or restraint? How is that balance achieved?
A. After years in the industry, this judgement has become instinctive. But if I were to break it down analytically, I consider: the user, the intended purpose, the budget, the environment, the potential for creativity and improvement, new ideas, and i now also factor in sustainability and reuse.
Q. Many of your projects have a strong sense of layering and storytelling, as though one has stepped into a narrative. What draws you to this kind of spatial storytelling, and how do you ensure it doesn’t interfere with the user experience?
A. Through the design process, I inspire and guide clients to envision and realise their dreams – that’s often why they come to me in the first place. Everyone has a dream. As long as the space meets practical needs, is user-friendly, and brings joy, it works. Comprehensive communication at the start is key to a successful project.
Q. Your designs often incorporate antique sculptures, mirrors, and textured surfaces. What role does nostalgia or historical reference play in your creative decisions?
A. I’m drawn to elements that evoke a sense of tactility, time, and history – these qualities enrich the imagination and bring a certain charm. They can instantly transport you to another place or time, freeing you momentarily from everyday concerns. It sometimes feels like I’m designing an imaginative, playful game.
Q. The Wonderland project has been described as “a place where the sun never sets.” How did you translate that surreal concept into physical space? What inspired your use of hidden drawers, warm lighting, and arched entrances?
A. Sunrise and sunset symbolise activity and rest. I wanted to create an interior where various activities could unfold – through lighting and multifunctional features, the space feels larger, almost magical. Functional drawers are hidden like secrets within the design, and the entrance is meant to create an instant sense of wonder.
Q. Wonderland also seems to reference Alice in Wonderland and secret passages. What kind of emotions or behaviours do you hope visitors experience as they move through the space?
A. It must be the sense of surprise! It’s a reminder to people consumed by daily routines that we all deserve more joy and happiness. Go ahead – create it for yourself!
Q. The visual layers in the Minben Chih Dessert Shop are rich: floating balloons, unicorns, vintage walls. What kind of story or emotion were you hoping to convey through such an intricate and theatrical setting?
A. It’s the concept of a magical dessert house that disappears into the forest at night. We should cherish the daytime to enjoy these delightful and whimsical treats. This space is filled with enchantment, and yes, it just might vanish!

THAILAND
Thailand’s property scene is changing fast; uncover where prices, hotspots, and opportunities are shifting
hailand continues to attract attention in the high-end property sector, with demand shaped by lifestyle, investment opportunities, and the strong pull of tourism. According to Martin Picherit, Real Estate Consultant at Keller Henson, “Tourism has become a powerful engine of demand for Thailand’s highend residential market. Visitors often turn into buyers, attracted by the country’s lifestyle, investment potential, and rental yields.”
He notes that Bangkok plays a particularly important role. “In Bangkok, the nation’s economic and cultural heart, tourism reinforces an already vibrant metropolis. World-class shopping, dining, nightlife, and international business hubs support a steady appetite for luxury condominiums and branded residences. Excellent infrastructure, from airports to mass transit, enhances this appeal.” The southern islands have also benefited. “In Phuket and Koh Samui, year-round tourist flows fuel demand for luxury villas and beachfront properties. Wealthy travellers fall in love with the islands’ natural beauty and strong rental markets, seeing opportunities for both personal use and income.” Scarce seaview land and infrastructure upgrades continue to support values, even as foreign ownership rules require careful structuring.
Buyers are motivated by a mix of lifestyle and investment goals. “Buyers in Thailand’s high-end residential market pursue a mix of goals, but investment and lifestyle often overlap,” Martin says. “Many foreigners and affluent Thais target investment properties that can generate strong short-term rental yields, especially in tourist hotspots like Phuket and
Koh Samui. Others purchase holiday homes for personal use that double as profitable vacation rentals when they are away.”
In Bangkok, the market is increasingly about long-term living. “A growing group of expatriates and regional professionals seek permanent residences, drawn by the city’s international schools, medical facilities and cosmopolitan lifestyle. Over the past three years, more families with children have arrived, attracted by Thailand’s reputation for safety, welcoming culture, excellent healthcare, abundant recreational facilities and top-quality international schools.” When comparing locations, each has its own appeal. “Bangkok,
Phuket, Koh Samui, and Chiang Mai each attract distinct segments of luxury buyers, but Bangkok and Phuket lead in overall demand,” he explains. “Bangkok remains the powerhouse, with strong interest in high-rise condominiums and branded residences driven by its dynamic economy, vibrant lifestyle and excellent international schools and hospitals. Phuket follows closely, appealing to investors and holiday-home seekers with year-round tourism, upscale marinas and limited beachfront land.”
Koh Samui attracts high-net-worth individuals looking for private sea-view villas, while Chiang Mai appeals to retirees and culture-oriented buyers who prefer a cooler climate and slower
pace. Ownership rules shape much of the market’s direction. “Thailand’s foreign ownership rules shape luxury demand by directing overseas buyers toward specific property types and legal structures,” says Martin. “Foreigners can own condominium units’ freehold, provided foreign ownership in a building does not exceed 49%, making high-end condos in Bangkok and resort areas particularly attractive. Land ownership is restricted, so buyers of villas or houses typically use long-term leases (often 30 + 30 years) or set up a properly structured Thai company.”
Despite these restrictions, demand for villas remains strong. “Demand for luxury villas keeps rising every year – especially in destinations such as Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, where villa owners of-ten enjoy high rental returns driven by strong year round tourism and limited supply of prime seaview plots.” Lifestyle amenities are increasingly decisive in buyer choices. “Wellness and resort-style living have become key drivers in Thailand’s luxury property market,” Martin explains. “High-end developments now feature spa facilities, yoga pavilions, fitness centres, private pools, and landscaped gardens, creating a daily ‘holiday’ atmosphere.”
This trend spans both urban and resort settings. “In Bangkok, branded residences integrate wellness amenities for urban professionals, while Phuket, Koh Samui, and Koh Phangan attract those desiring tropical surroundings with resort-quality services and on-site management. Access to high-end healthcare, organic dining, and wellness retreats reinforces Thailand’s image as a safe, rejuvenating destination.”
New working patterns are also influencing demand. “The rise of digital nomadism and remote work has noticeably expanded demand in Thailand’s luxury property sector. Professionals with flexible, location-independent careers are drawn to Thailand’s low cost of living, tropical climate, excellent connectivity and highquality healthcare,” he says. “Many seek spacious, well designed condos or villas with dedicated workspaces, strong internet and resort style amenities that blend productivity and leisure.”
“Wealthy travellers fall in love with the islands’ natural beauty and strong rental markets, seeing opportunities for both personal use and income.”
Looking ahead, Martin expects these themes to strengthen. “Over the next five years, Thailand’s luxury property market is set to become more diverse, wellness driven and service oriented. Demand for private villas and branded residences will keep rising in Phuket, Koh Samui and Bangkok as wealthy buyers seek privacy, high yields and resort style management.”
Developers are expected to evolve their projects accordingly. “Green building practices, smart-home technology and dedicated wellness amenities will play a bigger role, while branded projects will offer turnkey living with professional property management.” Family infrastructure is also expanding, especially on the islands. “Foreign ownership rules may be refined to attract more overseas investment, and many new international schools are planned – especially in Phuket and Koh Samui, where existing campuses are full and families value the islands’ tropical, safe lifestyle for their children.”
As Martin concludes, “This combination of lifestyle appeal, strong rental markets and improved family infrastructure will continue to fuel luxury demand and longterm capital growth.”

BEST APARTMENT / CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT DUBAI
Weybridge Gardens 4 Kensington Edition by LEOS Developments
Eywa Way of Water is an extraordinary architectural project that draws inspiration from the ocean’s stunning beauty, intricate ecosystems, and fragile nature. This immersive design embodies a commitment to ecological integrity, biophilic principles, and holistic wellness. It aspires to create a transformative environment where architecture, art, and environmental stewardship seamlessly intertwine.
At the core of Eywa’s design is a dedication to sustainability and a deep connection with nature. The structure employs organic forms and symbolic elements that evoke the underwater world, utilizing innovative materials to reflect both artistic creativity and ecological consciousness. A grand mangrove tree, elevated on 20-meter-high roots, serves as a powerful centerpiece, symbolizing interconnected ecosystems and establishing the project’s visual identity. Surrounding this magnificent feature are coral-inspired
structures and aquatic motifs that encourage emotional engagement and foster ecological awareness among visitors.
Central to Eywa’s vision is a focus on health and well-being. The development includes 65 luxurious waterfront residences, comprising three duplexes and an exclusive penthouse that perches majestically at a height of 150 meters – a true villa in the sky. Each residence is designed to enhance relaxation and vitality, combining regenerative luxury with extensive amenity floors featuring dedicated spas, multiple pools, and wellness facilities. Eywa also offers a dedicated Health & Longevity Concierge service, providing personalized wellness plans and access to holistic health resources, ensuring that residents can achieve optimal well-being. Additionally, a Daily Routine Concierge is available to assist residents in crafting their ideal lifestyles, from fitness regimens to nutrition and mindfulness practices.
By incorporating biophilic elements like live plants, water features, and organic shapes, the space cultivates mindfulness and fosters a profound connection to the natural world, ultimately promoting holistic well-being. The residences feature exquisite marble floors and slabs, complemented by Australian Paldao cabinetry in the front kitchens, blending elegance with functionality. Premium appliances further enhance the culinary experience, while walk-in dressing rooms provide generous storage and organization options. Natural light floods each living space through floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an airy atmosphere that invites the outside in. Spacious terraces with private pools and waterfalls provide a serene retreat, allowing residents to unwind in the lap of luxury while enjoying breathtaking views.
Throughout the structure, crystals, geodes, and semi-precious stones are embedded within columns, concrete slabs, and internal
spaces, contributing to an environment that fosters positive energy flow. This design aims to enhance mental clarity, concentration, and problem-solving while inspiring confidence. In addition to these embedded elements, crystal gardens in public areas further support an energy balance, ensuring that every space within Eywa promotes vitality and well-being. Nestled in the heart of Dubai’s Business Bay, Eywa stands as a serene oasis. Its organic forms and lush green spaces create a striking addition to the skyline while offering a tranquil retreat amid the urban landscape. The development harmonizes with Dubai’s environment, enhancing the city’s architectural and artistic landscape for future generations.
Away from the hustle of the city, Eywa is located in a quiet, traffic-free enclave, providing residents with privacy and tranquillity while surrounded by natural beauty. Positioned on Dubai’s largest extension within the Dubai Canal, Eywa represents the
smallest blue zone on the planet—a perfect sanctuary amidst the luxury offerings of the city. The luxurious yacht Eywa awaits on the Dubai Canal pier, offering seamless travel to premier beach clubs and waterfront destinations, ensuring an elevated lifestyle marked by elegance and personalization. Eywa also serves as a vital platform for environmental advocacy, raising awareness about the critical importance and vulnerability of marine ecosystems. Through artistic storytelling and immersive experiences, it inspires residents to appreciate, protect, and advocate for the ocean. Furthermore, the project champions sustainable architectural practices, fostering personal well-being by creating a serene environment that encourages reflection, mindfulness, and a deeper bond with nature.
The challenge of translating the fluid and organic qualities of water into architectural forms that are both visually captivating and
environmentally sustainable was met with innovative solutions. The integration of natural and artificial materials demanded careful ecological consideration, while designing sensory environments that authentically represent underwater worlds required creative technical approaches. Striking a balance between artistic expression, ecological responsibility, and wellness principles was essential to crafting a holistic sanctuary that deepens human connections to the ocean. The façade of Eywa showcases glazed ceramic panels meticulously designed to resemble the shells of endangered marine turtles. This texture serves as a poignant ecological tribute. Sculptural stingrays grace the façade, symbolizing fluidity and grace, while sea urchins are reimagined as sculptural gazebos, seamlessly blending marine motifs into the building’s architecture.
Enhancing the visual allure of the structure, an artificial ceramic waterfall adorns the
façade. This design draws inspiration from a real waterfall, with its photograph digitally enlarged and transferred onto the ceramic surface. During the day, the tiles shimmer in sunlight, mimicking the glistening drops of water, while in the evening, projected images of cascading water, combined with expertly designed lighting, create a captivating spectacle, transforming the building into a luminous landmark.
Living in Eywa means immersing oneself in the vibrant ecosystems of biodiversity and ecological harmony, all within a beautifully crafted, sustainable sanctuary. Eywa Way of Water is tailored for environmentally conscious individuals and families seeking a lifestyle intimately connected to nature, promoting well-being and longevity.
Investing in Eywa offers a rare opportunity to own a residence within a visionary development that emphasizes sustainability and mindfulness. Its immersive design, inspired by the ocean’s wonders, creates a peaceful haven promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being, supporting a resilient lifestyle for years to come.
The distinctive architecture and commitment to ecological harmony position Eywa as a prestigious address for discerning buyers seeking meaningful, future-proof investments. As the demand for sustainable and wellness-focused living grows, properties like Eywa Way of Water are poised to appreciate in value, attracting conscious residents and contributing to a legacy of responsible urban living.

BEST HOTEL ARCHITECTURE SAUDI ARABIA Shebara Resort by Killa Design
Obsidier Tower is a 27 floor mixed use development located in the heart of Egypt’s New Administrative Capital. Designed by Mohamed Talaat Architects and developed by Dubai Developments, the project draws inspiration from the natural beauty of obsidian stone, presenting a striking black on black tri tower design that houses commercial, administrative, and medical units.
The design concept reflects the fractured, multi faceted character of obsidian, resulting in a distinctive tri tower layout. This arrangement provides unique perspectives and constant visual engagement for users, while ensuring functional flexibility and visual comfort from all directions.
One of the main challenges was overcoming a city wide regulation that mandates all curtain wall facades be blue. To realise their vision, the team engaged in multiple discussions with relevant authorities before the permit stage, presenting detailed renderings that
demonstrated how the black glass towers would complement neighbouring facades.
This approach not only addressed regulatory concerns but also delivered a striking addition to the skyline, contributing a bold architectural statement while respecting the city’s existing context.
The architectural concept places equal emphasis on both aesthetics and functionality. Every zone and office space, no matter how small, is carefully designed to offer all the essential services required. The tri tower configuration fosters a sense of openness and engagement, with each workspace oriented to enjoy views of the other towers and the surrounding environment. This spatial arrangement creates a unique interaction between occupants and the city fabric. Delivering a nature‑inspired statement of strength and resilience, the project meets modern demands for design, function, and investment potential, setting a new benchmark for architectural innovation in Egypt’s capital.

From stalwarts like the Empire State to newcomers like 30 Hudson Yards, Central Park, and Al Habtoor Tower, these skyscrapers define modern skylines. On 11th June 2023, with the vision and leadership of the well-known worldwide construction guru Mr. Khalaf Ahmed Al Habtoor, “Al Habtoor Tower”, or what is known as the jewellery of the crown, was launched and added to the impeccable collection of landmarks at Habtoor City, where innovation with futuristic marvels meets luxury, and the tradition interlocks with latest technology to redefine the way we recognise urban living and lifestyle destinations.
At 355 metres (1,165 ft.), the 88-storey skyline has 81 habitable levels. Rising rapidly
and gracefully from the heart of Dubai, Al Habtoor Tower honours the city with its extraordinary union of art, engineering, and meticulous craftsmanship. Arguably one of the world’s most prestigious addresses, it is responsible for numerous world-firsts.
Al Habtoor Tower utilised more than 60,000 tonnes of steel; 120,000m2 of glass; and 17,000m2 of aluminium facade. It became the world’s largest man-made residential skyscraper structure just 1,100 days after excavation work started in June 2023. This achievement was made possible through the world’s first top-down construction method in residential skyline projects, a new world record in engineering excellence. With a total built-up area of 3.8 million sq. ft., Al Habtoor
Tower features 2.6 million sq. ft. of residential space and over 850,000 sq. ft. of parking bays. The tower offers luxurious recreational and leisure facilities including three infinity swimming pools, 26 private sky pools, lounges for homeowners, health and wellness facilities, and two Penthouse.
The Al Habtoor Tower skyline is a testament to architectural creativity, featuring conic edifices that seem to defy gravity and push the boundaries of modern structural design. Among the 10 tallest condominium towers in the world, it stands as one of Dubai’s most extraordinary landmarks. Designed by MAK Architects, SSE Structural design, and
peer reviewed by Imperial College London, SETEC France, and Structure USA, the tower comprises 1,740 luxury residential units with unparalleled 360‑degree views of Dubai’s landmarks and other Business Bay skylines. The all‑glass curtainwall building is a sleek, monolithic structure with re‑entrant corners articulating the form and creating a place for over 1,500 balconies.
Al Habtoor Tower not only redefines Dubai’s skyline but embodies Mr. Khalaf Al Habtoor’s vision of pushing the envelope of what is possible in urban planning and design, making it truly iconic and setting a benchmark for future developments.

of the three prominent towers and their suburban setting, providing a warm, relaxed sense of arrival that contrasts with the bold exterior. References to neighbouring worldclass golf courses and prestigious equestrian polo clubs are also reflected in the details. The lobby concept emphasises layers of green walls, natural unrefined materials, and modern furniture with textured fabrics, establishing a residential aesthetic.
The Residence Lounge and gym overlook the outdoor pool terrace, once again with views of the city’s skyline and Dubai’s wonderful sunsets. In the apartments, a palette of neutrals with subtle blue accents, layered textures, and landscape-inspired patterns further reinforces the sanctuary concept, embodying the essence of Marriott Modern.

The NH Collection Ras Al Khaimah – Al Marjan Island Hotel & Apartments was conceived as a pioneering mixed-use development that blends boutique hospitality with vibrant residential living. The developer’s brief emphasised creating a design-forward destination with clear identity and long-term value.
It is a design-forward property with a strong architectural identity and immersive, experiential spaces. The development also includes branded residences, each with distinct access points and services, yet united by a cohesive thematic narrative.
and guardianship. In the dining area, continuity and fluidity culminate in a suspended seethrough pool above the outdoor space, where shimmering reflections and a suspended whale sculpture symbolise wonder and joy.

Guided by the creative platform “Tropical Oasis of Vibrant Luxury”, the concept celebrates expressive forms, bold colour palettes, and immersive spatial storytelling tailored for the next generation of travellers and residents. The atmosphere is defined by dynamic energy, chromatic richness, and whimsical artistic moments.
A dramatic centrepiece greets guests in the lobby: a winged gorilla sculpture, symbolising limitless strength, imagination,
High above, the rooftop is immersed in tropical vitality. An artistic canvas-style pool in earthy tones anchors the design, surrounded by cabanas and a rooftop bar. Cascading greenery, organic wooden screens, bold sculptures, and statement art features unite wild beauty with refined comfort. The design language is built around narrative consistency, bold character, and tactile materiality. Signature elements such as the winged gorilla, the suspended whale, vibrant mosaics, and whimsical animal motifs merge emotional impact with operational functionality.
Just steps from the beach in Ras Al Khaimah’s premier destination, the NH Collection offers co-working areas, indoor and outdoor gyms, spa and wellness amenities, family-focused zones, and treatment roomscreating a destination as compelling to behold as it is to inhabit.

Apixel is the smallest unit on a screen, yet together with others, it forms a complete picture. That’s the philosophy behind PIXL – a full-service marketing agency that has grown into an award-winning name, especially known for its work in the off-plan real estate sector.
One standout story in PIXL’s journey is its partnership with developer RICHMIND. Formed in late 2024, the collaboration began as RICHMIND prepared to launch its flagship project on Ras Al Khaimah’s Marjan Island, designed by the iconic Zaha Hadid Architects. With no name in the market, no brand presence yet, but global real estate credibility and expertise, RICHMIND sought to make a mark in the UAE and PIXL was brought on board to lead the way.
PIXL developed the brand from scratch, positioning RICHMIND in the ultra-luxury segment through PR, media, OOH campaigns, and carefully crafted brand assets. From
awareness to impact, every step was designed to build trust and differentiate RICHMIND in a crowded market. The launch of the flagship project, Oystra, drew over 4,000 brokers and over 40 local media to a landmark event at Coca-Cola Arena, headlined by international music icon Craig David. A collaboration with Virgin Radio even brought a local artist to the stage, embedding RICHMIND into the city’s cultural fabric. PIXL led end-to-end execution: branding, RSVP management, post-launch campaigns, and helped RICHMIND achieve international PR visibility across China, Germany, India, Russia, the UK, and Pakistan. Oystra became the first, residential Zaha Hadid Architects-designed project on Al Marjan, marking a milestone in UAE’s real estate story. Momentum continued with CEO Mr. Rafiee speaking at the Forbes ME Building the Future Summit and gracing the cover of Arabian Business, cementing RICHMIND’s place as a pioneer in luxury real estate.

transforms into a vibrant amenity hub with greenery, recreational areas, and communal spaces.
Costa Mare for Ellington is a captivating new landmark on Al Marjan Island, offering a seamless blend of natural inspiration, refined architecture, and modern living.

The Highgrove for Ellington is a landmark 31-storey residential tower in Bukadra, within the prestigious Meydan Horizon masterplan in Dubai. Developed for the upper-middle to luxury market, the building includes a mix of apartments, four podium levels, basement services, and curated retail and amenities within a gross floor area of 336,557 sq. ft.

The “Urban Nest” concept shapes the architecture, with elevated biophilic amenities such as sky villas, meditation nests, a rooftop observatory, and sky dining.

Urban Palette Interiors delivers expert home and commercial remodelling and interior design services tailored to a vision. Dedication to transforming spaces with unmatched design and innovation is evident in the Irth Café project, located in Jeddah’s historic district, a UNESCO heritage site.

The project, a culinary boutique and café under the Culinary Commission, part of the Ministry of Culture of Saudi Arabia, serves traditional Saudi dishes and cuisine from all regions of the Kingdom. Urban Palette Interiors was given a concept for this Culinary Commission site to bring the project to life. The team visited Old Jeddah several times to draw inspiration from the historic district to retain the magic and authenticity of the building. The building,
known as Bait Alkutub, is hundreds of years old and was originally a madrasa, a school for teaching the Quran. Built in the traditional Hijazi architectural style, it uses mangabi stone, a coral stone from the Red Sea, along with other wooden elements. The renovation employed the same traditional building techniques to preserve the building in its original form.
To achieve this vision, decorative beams were installed in the ceiling with embedded track lights, and panels were added to introduce a touch of colour. Special woodwork was designed to conceal AC compressors, with the main unit behind shelving and others behind banquette seating with camouflaged grills. The result is a space that honours tradition while offering a functional and engaging environment.
