EDITOR’S NOTE

Dear Reader,

Spring

in this second edition of horizon & beyond, we will take you from the elegance and sophistication of the french riviera to the uniquely exotic luxury of bali, with stops at milan, the sands of arabia and the caribbean along the way. discover the timeless charm of the Principality of monaco. matisse, the famous french artist who relocated to the south of france in 1917, described the moment his heart was won when he realised that he would see that special mediterranean light every morning when he woke up, a light that makes the blue bluer and the green greener. monaco is swathed in history, but the modern world does not stop at its doorstep. instead, it is embraced and welcomed to enhance the romance, glamour and mystique of this beautiful tiny corner of the world. milan oozes style, and not just in fashion and design. the city is bursting with culinary delights and cultural wonders, and it is hosting the expo 2015 with a theme that should be of the highest interest to us and the next generation: food. explore all facets of this fascinating city from 1st may when exPo milan opens its doors. for lovers of the mediterranean, i have selected voyages to the romantic Italian destinations of Portofino and elba, as well as two inaugural cruises on stunning ships, not to mention experiencing the monte carlo grand Prix from aboard a luxury yacht. sail away, if only metaphorically, to the jet-set island of st barth in the caribbean or even further afield to Bali’s shambhala estate where the ultimate in rejuvenation awaits you. closer to home is an oasis in the emirates desert, which amazes with hot and cold asian spa treatments. take your taste buds on a journey with three-star michelin chef, and recently elected chef of the year, Yannick alleno’s restaurants. Read on and you will find out where! as ever, it is my pleasure to take you around the world via the pages of horizon & beyond and we hope that we inspire you to make that trip a reality. sincerely yours, Karine Lackner executive editor

I

was all too aware of the Palm Jumeirah, the beautiful man-made archipelago stretching out into the sea with its tree trunk, crown with sixteen leaves and surrounding crescent island that forms an eleven kilometre-long breakwater and adds nearly eighty kilometres to the dubai coastline. between the many upcoming hotels and resorts, what I didn’t realise was that amidst the up-and-coming hotels lies romance - the one & only resort.. a jewel among the many hotels and resorts that immediately makes me forget Dubai’s busy life, traffic and construction sites. Not just a pleasant getaway but an intimate resort like your very own private escape with top notch facilities. The moment I enter the magnificently scented lobby i am surrounded by luxurious and tasteful interior design that envelopes me in an overwhelming feeling of comfort. once i step out onto the terrace and gardens – and before i even decide to take a dip in the oversized pool – i feel i must explore the magic of the resort and its intimate walkways. it only takes a moment for me to be strolling along the almost five hundred metres of beautiful private sands stretching out to the arabian sea.the area is dotted with low-rise mansions and villas but they are so discreetly and tastefully situated that they complement the experience rather than detract from it.

T

he view from the beach upwards to the resort is as amazing as the one looking down to the sea. the architecture is reminiscent of that found in southern spain, but the warm wind reminds me right away that i am in the arabian gulf.

y daytime is to be spent lounging on oversized daybeds pampered by the immaculate service around the pool. i lie back, cucumbers soothing my eyes, before i take my place in the air-conditioned cabana i have reserved (one of six) to unwind in a more private area. here you can eat lunch with friends and in the afternoon watch your favourite movies on Lcd screens when you need to take a break from the dazzling sun. Dinner at the one & only is definitely an experience in itself. under the culinary guidance of michelin-starred chef yannick alleno you get a choice between the restaurants zest and the amazing stay, where connoisseurs of extraordinary interior design and culinary arts will be more than astonished. for lovers of imaginative cuisine stay amazes with signature dishes showcasing traditional cooking reinterpreted in a contemporary style. a charming surprise awaits me at the Pastry Library as i am invited to play an active role in the creation of the desserts. I simply tell the chef my favourite flavours and ingredients and he creates something truly unique and entirely to the delight of my palate. on one of the evenings, i feel like strolling along the pontoon to dine above the arabian waters at the 101 on the marina, which boasts panoramic views of the glittering dubai skyline and i pinch myself to make sure i am not dreaming. you might be more than happy to mingle with some fellow guests but if you feel the need for total privacy with your loved one, the special in-room dining and villa entertainment service creates the perfect romantic atmosphere for proposing or surprising somebody on a memorable day. 10 .

When I feel a bit wiped out from my workout, alexandre zouari’s hair salon soon restores me for a splendid evening. and there is another outstanding experience which brings guests from near and far: the pedi- manicure studio by bastien gonzalez, a truly unique treatment and available only in the best hotels and resorts worldwide. bastien, also called the “Foot Virtuoso” offers a ‘Black Diamond Foot scrub Touch’ which exfoliates, purifies and smooths the skin with black volcanic sand and particles of mother of pearl. i discover total relaxation in the tailored spa experiences in the one & only, and it is needless to say, that this resort is one of the most romantic places in the world. The couple’s suite in the sanctuary of esPa offers treatments which draw from a time-honoured arabian ritual, the private rhassoul experience. a secluded viP entrance, private lobby and garden terrace ensure the ultimate in privacy for lovebirds. there is no need to dream of a fairytale because it is right before your eyes at the one & only the Palm. 12 .

e Royal Monceau Raffles Paris is just one of six hotels in the French capital to hold the official ‘Palace Distinction’, making it not only a luxury hotel but an abode fit for a king, or more appropriately, an art lover. Each of the rooms and suites is decorated with at least two works of art, while the hotel houses more than 320 photographs. There are also several specially commissioned works – Joana Vasconcelos’ giant wrought iron teapot sitting in the garden and Nikolay Polissky’s hand crafted reindeer are just two such examples – but Le Royal Monceau goes much further than simply displaying art: it brings it to life for its guests, imbuing the hotel with the Parisian creative spirit and a sense of joie de vivre. It’s a place where the well-travelled jetsetter is enveloped in the beauty and charm of Paris. For Parisian artists and fashionistas, it is the place to put your personal style on display. Make sure to wear your best Louboutins or the must-have piece from the latest Chanel collection, complemented by your own individual adornments, to ensure you are simultaneously part of the scene and stand out from the crowd. Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris is an extraordinary oasis of decadence, elegance and refinement. The exclusive service of the art concierge – the first in Paris – guides guests through the creativity and wealth that the city lays at their feet. 14 .

he hotel was originally designed by architect Louis duhayon, and opened in 1928. from the day of its opening it became the meeting point for many celebrities. notable guests of Le royal Monceau Raffles Paris have included Dwight D eisenhower, the 34th president of the united states, sir Winston churchill, the uK’s wartime prime minister, and international mega stars madonna, michael Jackson, celine dion, ray charles, Josephine baker and robert de niro. all eighty-five rooms and sixty-four suites are designed by Philippe starck. each room is inspired by the 1940s and 1950s and all are devoted to art. a truly unique feature is an acoustic guitar in every room. Pieces of art, books dedicated to art, floor to ceiling mirrored bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes in the style of haute couture fitting rooms all give it the feeling of a Parisian pied-a-terre. You could choose from an infinite variety of suites, a junior suite or a gallery suite, a signature suite or a lifestyle suite, a prestige suite or a penthouse suite or a royal monceau suite for almost 15,000€ a night. but be assured that no matter which you choose, it will be utterly luxurious and entirely comfortable.

amed for its Formula 1 Gp, luxury cars, legendary hotels, fancy dining, Hollywood connections and glamorous royal family, Monaco is smaller than New York City’s Central park, with an area of just under two square miles (2.2 square kilometres), and has a two-and-half-mile coastline surrounded by France…. but don’t let that fool you ! The principality is the second smallest independent state in the world, after the vatican in Rome, and the most densely populated with an estimated 35,000 residents of 125 nationalities, of which only 7,600 are Monagasque.

YACHTS AND FORMULA ONE yacht charters in monaco are very popular and there are several companies who can arrange a trip either on a smaller day boat or on a luxury super yacht. the beautiful french riviera offers many amazing bays where you can stop and take your lunch with scenic views either on board or in one of the restaurants in the bays or on the islands of Lerins just off the coast of cannes. the formula one grand Prix began its monegasque life in 1925, but the circuit was only inaugurated in 1929 by Prince

Peter of monaco and has barely changed since. Passing the Place du casino, it brushes past the hôtel hermitage before weaving its way between the hôtel de Paris and the café de Paris on casino square and then leaves

the carre d’or to snake round the right corner of the mirabeau, engaging in the famous Loews curve, the slowest turn of the championship now called virage

Yacht s and FormulaOne fairmont. from here, it passes the tunnel onto the port and the swimming pool, goes on to the last stiff turn at the rascasse to finally arrive at the finishing line. the distance of the race is 260.5 kilometres, totalling seventy-eight laps of 3.34 km.

it has become the grand prix all f1 drivers dream of winning. although it is the slowest circuit in the formula one world championship, it is nonetheless renowned for being one of the most difficult. Driving on the roads of the principality is an exercise which requires dexterity, control and composure, especially due to the railings, which mark out this temporary race. for those who can afford

it, you can take a ride around the track in a performance car. the grand prix is also one of europe’s premiere social events of the year. Port hercule is booked out with yachts and super yachts, all wanting to be at the centre of the action, sometimes having reserved the spot a year, if not two, in advance. the most amazing parties are held on these astonishing yachts, attended by celebrities and royalty. Monaco’s residents often rent out their terraces for the event with prices rising up to 100,000€ for the four days or even more depending on the location and size.

CULTURE, HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND MUSEUMS for those of us who enjoy the more sedate pace of life, monte carlo is home to many cultural mustsees. the monaco opera house, or salle garnier, was built by the famous architect charles garnier. the auditorium is decorated in red and gold and is adorned with frescoes and sculptures.

monaco cathedral was built in 1875 in the romanesquebyzantine style and stands on the site of a 13th century church. it is dedicated to st nicolas and is the final resting place of the Princes of monaco and their families.

an absolute must while you are in monaco is to take a stroll through monaco-ville, also known as ‘le rocher’ or ‘the rock’. Monaco-Ville is still a medieval village at heart and an astonishingly picturesque site. it is made up almost entirely of pedestrian streets and passageways and most previous century houses still remain, as they are protected by law and cannot be modified or destroyed.

the oceanographic museum and aquarium is a world-renowned attraction. Located 279 metres above sea level, the museum

Gardens GARDENS

the Jardin exotique is one of the many gardens monaco has to offer. several thousand rare plants from around the world are presented in a walking tour that is memorable for the views as well as the plants.

Jardin Japonais is a stylised replica of the great outdoors, with its mountain, hill, waterfall, beach and brook, this surprising 7000m2 park is an authentic work of art created by respecting the strictest principles of the zen concept of compactness. an exceptional park at the foot of the city, this eastern garden is touched by a particular atmosphere, harmoniously combining stone, water and vegetation.

HISTORY OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY a watchful police force sees to it that street crime is virtually nonexistent. There are nearly fivehundred police officers that patrol the streets of the tiny principality. this is an important factor as more than 600,000 visitors come from abroad every year, and no doubt a large portion of them are attracted by the memory of one person. more than thirty years after her death, the name synonymous with monaco is grace Kelly. the oscarwinning actress married Prince rainier in 1956 and brought hollywood glamour – and the international spotlight – to this tiny mediterranean state. since then, the principality’s mild climate and splendid scenery have made monaco a world-famous haven for celebrities and the wealthy. miss Kelly, who won an oscar in 1954 for her performance in the country girl, was poised, beautiful and stylish, every bit the film star in her ivory gown made of silk, taffeta and lace, on the day of her wedding. the religious ceremony at monaco cathedral was followed by a civil ceremony held in the throne

Prince rainier never remarried and upon his death in 2005 was buried beside his wife in the grimaldi family vault inside monaco cathedral. he was succeeded by his son, who runs the country with the minister of state and head of the government of monaco, who is assisted by five ministers being appointed by and subordinate to the Prince of monaco. the office was created in 1911

with the creation of Monaco’s constitution. until the revision of the constitution in 2002, he or she had to be a french citizen, selected from several senior civil servants proposed by the french government. since 2002, the minister of state can be either french or monegasque and is chosen and appointed by the prince, after consultation with the french government. monaco became a member of the united nations in 1993, with Prince albert ii serving as the head of the monaco delegation.

GOING BACK IN TIME founded in 1215 as a colony of genoa, monaco has been ruled by the house of grimaldi since 1297, when François Grimaldi, known as Malizia, seized Monaco’s fortress. the only exception to grimaldi rule was from 1789 to 1814, when monaco was under french control. designated as a protectorate of sardinia from 1815 until 1860 by the congress of Vienna, Monaco’s sovereignty was recognised by the francomonegasque treaty of 1861. on 11 april 1950 Prince rainier officially became monarch, succeeding his grandfather Prince Louis ii. in the 1970s, he began encouraging the development of light, non-polluting industries. in the 1980s, new beaches were developed from reclaimed land, and luxury high-rise apartment buildings and condominiums were constructed to appeal to wealthy residents and investors. foreigners have been enticed ever since by Monaco’s glamorous lifestyle and, more practically, the absence of income and inheritance taxes.

THE bALLET OF

Monte-Carlo a high LeveL schooL forging the taLent of the future... an internationaLLy renowned dance comPany... a festivaL that Presents the choreograPhic art in aLL its forms... it has taken almost three decades to accomplish this dream in the Principality of monaco and shape the three current faces of the ballets de monte-carlo. in 1985, the current ballets de monte-carlo company was created as a result of the commitment of h.r.h. the Princess of hanover who wanted to continue the long tradition of dance in monaco and its famous “ballets russes”. The arrival of Jean-christophe Maillot in 1993 led to the company’s international growth through the choreographies he created for it. he also enhanced its repertoire by inviting established or emerging choreographers to work with the exceptional toolALLofCOOKED its 50 dancers. on tour for over 200 days a year, the ballets de monte-carlo is a major culture ambassador for the Principality. wanting dance in monaco to be even more influential, in 2000, Jean-christophe Maillot created the Monaco Dance Forum, an international multi-form dance festival which sees a procession of artists and creators converge on the Principality every year.

The Academy

“for almost a century, dance has played a major part in monaco. the concept of a touring company arose due to diaghilev and his ballets russes, for whom monte-carlo was the creative studio. While the Principality’s past has allowed it to write the famous pages in choreography history, the future of dance is also played out there. Preparing the great performers of tomorrow is the challenge that we rise to every day at this special place which is the académie Princesse grace in monaco. within these walls steeped in history, through hard work, discipline and passion, young dancers can move towards the excellence that will allow them to live their dreams. we welcome all these hopeful, young artists, who cannot contemplate life without the stage and rehearsal studios. we hope that the académie de danse Princesse Grace is the school where their talents will flourish and where memories of a youth dedicated to dance and the joy of learning it will be born.” says Luca Masala - Directeur artistique de l’enseignement et de la Pédagogie.

History

in 1975, the académie de danse classique was founded in the casa mia villa, which was bought specially for that purpose by the government. it was created according to the wishes of Princess grace and Prince rainier iii to give marika besobrasova a facility where she could develop her teaching. hired by the ballets de monte-carlo at the age of 16, where she worked alongside mikhail fokine, marika besobrasova began teaching in 1939. she created the ecole de danse classique de montecarlo in 1952. this classical dance school would be attended by many famous personalities from the dance world.

rudolf nureyev regularly went there to work, as did eva evdokimova, marcia haydée and yoko morishita. the creation of the classical dance academy along with a boarding school enabled marika besobrasova to cater for students of all nationalities. consequently the Principality had a major professional trainig school, as wanted by Princess grace, as the beginnings of a permanent ballet company. the education at the academy is multi-disciplinary and includes classical, conteporary and character dance classes, musical education, art and theatre history lessons. with the assistance of a director of studies, general studies up to baccalaureat level have been provided for french and italian students with support given for other nationalities following qualifications awarded in their country of origin. since its creation, the académie de danse classique Princesse grace has trained several generations of dancers, many of whom have become soloists or principal dancers with renowned international dance companies. in august 2009, a new board of trustees, presided over by h.r.h. the Princess of hanover was appointed by the Prince’s government to manage the academy which has been renamed “académie de danse Princesse grace”. appointed director in september 2009, Luca masala is now responsible for maintaining the quality of the classical instruction while opening the academy up to the various influences of modernday dance.

Train, Create, Share In 2009, the Princess Grace academy of Dance, founded in 1975, redefined its objectives and made the professionalisation of each of its students its primary purpose. it is now responsible for maintaining the excellence of classical instruction while remaining open to the influences of modern-day dance.

in 2011, under the presidency of h.r.h. the Princess of hanover, the ballets de monte-carlo company, the monaco dance forum and the Princess grace academy of dance were incorporated under a single organisation, the ballets de monte-carlo, directed by Jean-christophe maillot.

While wood, natural fibres and cool tones are predominant, the sami hilal artwork on the living-room wall sets the true tone of the house: simple sophistication. the heart of the home is a two-level living, dining and entertaining area. the living areas and bar also share the modern space with a fourteenseat home theatre, located on the mezzanine. sliding glass doors allow for the living area to be completely opened up to the garden and the private swimming pool. an outdoor covered dining terrace and barbeque grill make al fresco meals all the more enticing. the large double height living room faces towards the infinity edge swimming pool, which appears to empty into the bay, from where you can enjoy glorious sunsets. a private Jacuzzi is a welcome alternative to the pool. with the exception of the bedroom suites, there is no need for air-conditioning in the main 50 .

living areas of the home, as the cool, refreshing ocean breezes and open concept ensure guests will be naturally comfortable. each of Villa Paula’s four air-conditioned bedroom suites commands breathtaking ocean views. each bedroom is fitted with twin beds, which may be joined to form a king-sized bed. each bedroom suite is, like the rest of the villa, exceedingly comfortable and spacious, with a private balcony facing the ocean. they are accessed via a courtyard garden, replete with bubbling fountains and gentle waterfalls. Búzios is also a haven of fine dining, with a mixture of French, italian, Japanese and thai cuisines. each and every restaurant boasts flavours and delicacies fit for the most demanding and varied of palates. the reason for such diversity is the large number of foreigners, who came to spend a few days in the town, fell in love and never left. from their birthplaces, they brought the spices and secrets that enhance the seafood dishes – fish is the cornerstone of local cuisine, after all.

MILAN EXPO 2015 Energy for Life!

Milan is undoubtedly the fashion capital of the world, but for six months in 2015 it will become the global centre for something of an altogether different taste.

F

ood can be one of life’s great pleasures and combinations of different tastes and flavours within different cultures tell their own particular story. But did you ever ask yourself what kind of food will be eaten in the future, or what our children’s diet will be? We have to look deeper into new food technologies, scientific discoveries and research that today form the basis for improved nutrition for tomorrow. We need to pay attention to agricultural techniques and the quality of produce. Is it possible to guarantee water and food for the entire world population? Is it possible to increase food security and have new solutions that take into account the planet’s biodiversity? This dialogue will take place on a daily basis through events, shows, conferences and meetings at the Expo Milano 2015 between May and October. Visitors will experience a unique journey that looks at the complex theme of nutrition. You can take a trip around the world, without having to pack a single suitcase, simply by sampling the food and discovering eating habits of people from every corner of the planet. Expo Milano’s central theme is ‘feeding the planet, energy for life’ and will open up a dialogue between the major players in sustainability. Experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, chefs and artists from around the world will gather to

56 .

take part in an extraordinary and unique event. Today’s paradox of feast and famine – half the world suffering from problems caused by being overweight whilst the other half is crippled by malnutrition and lack of clean drinking water – will be put under the microscope in Milan and those in attendance will try to realise solutions through science, education, prevention, international cooperation and social and political engineering. Also coming into question is how to achieve a better balance between food production and natural resources. The exposition isn’t just a platform for discussions but also an important educational experience for the next generation. There will be plenty of ways for younger visitors to learn all about food and healthy living in a fun and stimulating environment, led by mascot Foody, who will charm and entertain children, as well as teach them about community, diversity and nutrition. “Foody” is from a big family of mascots, so little ones will have the attention they need to guide them through the exposition. As well as Foody, there is Guaglio the garlic; Arabella the orange; Josephine the banana; Gury the watermelon; Pomina the apple; Max Maize the blue corn; Manghy the mango; Rodolfo the fig; Piera the pear; the Rap Brothers, who are both radishes; and Chicca the pomegranate.

‫معرض‬ 2015 ‫ميالنو اكسبو‬ !‫الطاقة مدى الحياة‬ MILANO If you can tear yourself away from Expo Milano, the city itself is a veritable cultural feast, with an incredible choice of attractions, exceptional museums, intriguing exhibitions and breathtaking architecture. The Teatro alla Scala, which dates back to 1778 and the Pinacoteca di Brera, founded by Napoleon, and displaying works of art by Rubens and Rembrandt and many Venetian and Lombardi masterpieces, are just two of Milan’s gems. The city is also home to Santa Maria delle Grazie and Il Cenacolo Vinciano (The Last Supper by Leonardo de Vinci) and the Sant Ambrogio Basilica built in 386 AD. The Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle II are favourite meeting places of the Milanese, and Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga are two of the most famous streets in Milan, offering every designer shop a fashionista could wish for. Walking along the streets with that unmatched Italian flair, window-shopping alone becomes an outstanding experience. Stop for a real Italian ristretto or a lighter version of coffee, a cappuccino – you can be sure you’ll never drink anything better anywhere else.

et in the heart of Milan’s renowned Piazza Duca D’Aosta, the recently re-opened five-star Excelsior Hotel Gallia features 235 luxurious rooms including 53 suites and provides guests stunning access to Milan’s many vibrant offerings. Originally opened in 1932, the hotel has been fully renovated by renowned Milanese architect Marco Piva. Behind this sparkling hotel’s iconic art deco façade are elegant restaurants, all-day cuisine in the Gallia Lounge & Bar, and on the seventh floor the exclusive signature restaurant La Cupola with stunning panoramic views of the city. The spacious foyer and enormous Duomo, one of the city’s largest pillar-less ballrooms, with a five-metre high ceiling, are just two of the many stunning features of the hotel. Butler service is the cherry on top of the richly decadent cakes that are the exclusive two-bedroom Gallia Suite and the stunning 1,000 sqm Katara Suite, one of the largest Presidential Suites in Italy. The Excelsior Gallia is home to Milan’s largest hotel spa, which pampers its guests with exclusive treatments in a luxurious setting across the sixth and seventh floors. An indoor pool, a virtual golf simulator, hairdresser and barber shop, stunning relaxation areas and a wide range of authentic beauty and wellness rituals make you instantly forget the seemingly hundreds of miles walked on your shopping trips or cultural tours.

A

s a guest of the Excelsior Gallia I could experience the comfort of one of the 51 suites, equipped with light leather sofas and ottomans, large TV screens in every room, 2 minibars, of which one contained only complimentary glass bottled cold water in the bedroom. I have to admit it took me some time to figure out the technical part for the light control, as once, shortly after I had arrived and needed to relax in the bath the bathroom suddenly went totally dark! To my astonishment when I crawled out of the tub the movement detector kicked in and here was the light again ! Some 30 minutes later laying in the wonderful comfort of the large bed with luxurious linens I decided to turn all lights and TV off, just to find myself 30 seconds later again with the TV on! It’s Magic… Modern technology is definitely not my best friend, I once more realized and snoozed off to a night of relaxing sleep in the soundproof suite embedded in its calming soft colours.

this arid, volcanic rock of just eight square miles is home to an eclectic mix of iguanas, night-blooming cactus, and fabulous beaches as well as luxury yachts, designer boutiques, and celebrities… Peopled primarily by descendents of the original french settlers and transplanted europeans, this is an island with a strong, independent personality. through the vagaries of its history it became a duty-free port and more recently liberated itself from the administrative yoke of guadeloupe. it is certainly the most unusual of the french west indies islands.

there are fourteen beaches on st barth, all blessed with gleaming white sand. few are crowded, even in peak season. villa dunes is certainly one of the most yearned-for properties in st barth. very private, with no neighbours, this villa is set on 2.5 acres of natural gardens and grassy lawns leading down to the dunes of Plage de saline. villa dunes is renowned as the only estate in such close proximity to saline beach and its smooth white sands and turquoise surf.

this luxury villa offers all imaginable high tech amenities to its famed guests, such as heated pools, gym, office, outdoor showers, a palapa for spa services as well as a lavishly decorated interior and truly decadent bedroom suites.

the architectural layout of the property comprises a main building and two guest bungalows 300 feet down the hill perfect for private guests or staff accommodations. taking the steps down the hillside between the two pools you’ll arrive at the garden and the two independent one-bedroom guest houses. so if you ask yourself who would be the ones to rent such a villa here is your answer: celebrities (among others). without the training and patience of a detective on a stakeout you won’t see them wandering about unless they are young enough, or egocentric enough, to need frequent doses of admiring recognition. They come and go surreptitiously, briefly inhabit villas distinguished by their privacy, and occasionally patronize a handful of reservationonly restaurants. the impressive lists of vacationing luminaries that are unfailingly mentioned in all kinds of travel magazines as part of the st Barth scene are a mild curiosity to most residents, who wouldn’t recognize harrison ford, Liz claiborne, beyoncé or black eyed Peas if they walked in the front door! 70 .

O

f course, there’s the island itself to discover. It lies south east of the island of st martin and north of st Kitts in the caribbean. Puerto rico is just over two hundred kilometres to the west in the greater antilles and often serves as the arrival point by airplane for visitors coming from the uK or the us. as st barth has a tiny airport and runway, a transfer in a smaller plane is necessary from one of the neighbouring islands. saint barthélemy, as it is called in french, is a volcanic island surrounded by shallow reefs of an area of only twenty-five square kilometres. The language, cuisine, and culture are distinctly french. st Barth has as many as twenty-two beaches, fifteen of which are considered suitable for swimming. they are divided into two groups, the leeward side with calm waters protected by the island itself and the windward side popular for windsurfing.

C

summer lasts from may to november, but it is also the rainy season with showers that come and go very quickly. sunshine is guaranteed almost all the year round, even during the rainy season. because of the winds humidity is not very high and the average temperature lies between 25 °c and 32 °c. the caribbean waters generally maintain a temperature of about 27 °c which is ideal for swimming at any time of the year.

hef yann vinsot creates exquisite locally inspired french cuisine. enjoy a gourmet lunch or dine at La case de l’Isle and savour al-fresco eating with delicious views of the atlantic ocean. open for lunch and available for private events in the evening, La cabane de l’Isle beachfront restaurant is the perfect place for a relaxing feet-in-the-sand meal.

nevertheless, winter, from december to april, is the dry season and the best time to visit the island for an unforgettable vacation.

at any time of day, the white bar serves refreshing cocktails and light dishes around the swimming pool, with panoramic views of the bay. at any time, guests may enjoy an in-room carte blanche dinner in the intimacy of their private terrace or garden. a bespoke menu can be specially conceived with the complicity of the chef to round up the highly personalised five-star service offered at cheval Blanc st Barth.

74 .

st barth, considered a playground of the rich and famous, is known for its gourmet dining and the high-end designers found in the capital, gustavia. the major arrival point is via the ocean. 130,000 people arrive every year by luxury boats, many of them for the highlight of the season, new Year’s eve, with celebrities and the wealthy converging on the island for the occasion. a small island, it has only about twenty-five hotels, most of them with fewer than fifty rooms. There are around five hundred luxurious private villas available to rent, many of them amazingly stunning and very well equipped, with first class services, villa managers and a concierge service to book your dinner, massage therapist, yoga teacher or yacht. there has been a recent boom in real estate, with prices as high as €61 million for a beachfront villa and a growing demand for properties on this tax-free island. but why bother forking out for a villa when you can stay at cheval blanc st barth isle de france and let their wonderful staff look after your every need.

Christopher Columbus was the first to discover the island in 1493. He named it after his brother Bartolomeo . 75

villa sand club is a myriad of colours and TexTures

the remarkable blue skies and blue seas of st Barth are reflected in the stylish yet down-to-earth design of villa sand club. Located in what might be called the new gold coast of the island, the villa nestles in the whitesand beach of the baie de flamands, where prestigious hotels and exclusive dwellings are beacons of comfort and luxury. amidst this exquisite backdrop, villa sand club is a myriad of colours and textures, muted blues mingling with brilliant white, silky hardwood and smooth polished flooring, creating a seamless transition between the exterior and interior of the property. created by local architectural design company olivier dain Perspectives, this beachfront haven is everything you need and more to truly appreciate the laidback elegance of st barth.

the sweeping entrance to the villa precedes a path lined with rows of royal palms that leads to the open doors of the main living and dining area and its cleverly integrated chef ’s kitchen. beyond this bright and breezy room are the terrace and heated mirror pool, with comfortable daybeds and chaises. You can find shade from the caribbean sun under umbrellas or the leaves of coconut palms, gently flapping in the warm breeze. take just a few steps from here and you can submerge yourself in the unspoilt waters of flamands beach.

The aesthetic combines bali has a long history of healing. its sacred waters are revered for their curative properties, and a culture of wellbeing is still practiced in massage and beauty rituals in private homes. It is the only predominantly hindu island in Indonesia, the world’s largest muslim nation. a volcanic mountain range splices the island in two. ubud, the island’s cultural hub, lies at its heart. To the east is sidemen – a rural enclave in the shadow of mount agung – and to the south, the busier beach resorts of Kuta and nusa dua. the less visited north and west have quiet coastlines that are great for diving.

Asian and European

influences

although the ancient regencies of the rajas and Princes of bali were dismantled by colonial governments in the early twentieth century, many of the royal descendants, who still own traditional palaces, are very much respected as patrons of the arts. even today, it seems that almost every person is a painter, carpenter or weaver, sharing a respect for nature and Bali’s singular heritage. built into jungle clearings above the ayung river is the shambhala estate. among the most spacious of any resort I’ve had the pleasure of visiting, balinese heritage is woven into it. its thirty rooms and suites are the work of cheong yew Kuan, the renowned malaysian architect, and Koichiro ikebuchi, who received the President’s Design award in 2009 in singapore, and between them, they have created a unique dwelling which is mindful of the environment and indigenous styles of building. The aesthetic combines asian and european influences, handmade furniture, indonesian artefacts and architectural details that exude the spirit of the region. each residence is uniquely private, and no two are alike. This is not your usual resort where you can find similarity in every room and suite. Bayugita – ‘Windsong’ – is an architectural exercise in simplicity, combining the simple lines of balinese tradition with details from colonial Java. cooling breezes move through the interior, comprising a large suite with private Jacuzzi, two terrace suites, a dramatic infinity pool stretching towards rice fields, a garden room and a study, which can be converted into an additional bedroom or used for spa treatments. if you would like to book the residence in its entirety, you will enjoy your own living and dining area adjoining the suite.
