GRACEFUL STYLE

A large-scale project located in Jumeirah Golf Estates

Set in the prestigious Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai, the brief for the year-long project was to create a luxe but comfortable home for a growing British expat family. For the ground and upper levels, clean-lined modern furniture and a neutral palette were chosen to reflect the villa’s contemporary architecture. For the daylight basement level, a traditional style was introduced with button-tufted leather ottomans, wood panelling and a handsome pool table.

LUXURIOUS FINISHES

This home features lavish and glamorous touches

Designed by Wafi Tagleb, this luxurious penthouse has used beautiful Brabbu products throughout, which were essential to convey the true soul of the project. The reception of the penthouse is inviting and cosy, reminiscent of some of Dubai’s most welcoming sights such as Creekside Park and Dubai Garden Glow.

This welcoming feeling occurs very much because of the bold decor, which mixes classic elements such as jazz and the modern design characteristic of Brabbu’s Nanook armchair. Just like the lights and grandeur of Burj Khalifa, the luxurious build in Dubai, the guest corner is marked by colours and high-end furnishings. The modernity of the central table complements perfectly with the Brabbu Wales Sofa. Upholstered in cotton velvet and with a base in matte vintage brass, this curved velvet sofa features a golden polished nailhead trim that makes it even more elegant

The garden seating is reminiscent of Safa Park, one of the city’s main green spaces. This environment is furnished with the Esses modern velvet armchair which brings elegance to any contemporary living room design set that only velvet swivel chairs are capable of.

The bathroom is reminiscent of a stroll through Dubai Marina, so you can feel yourself enjoying a sunny winter’s day by Jumeirah Beach. To provide the greatest possible comfort and convenience, the bathroom features the Lapiaz bathtub and the Newton washbasin. This unique bathtub enhances its gold and rich interiors with a gold painted tear that contrast with the mirrored effect of the stainless steel. Brabbu

Regent’s Park

A desirable area with a host of attractions

RRegent’s Park is a haven for some of London’s wealthy individuals. Its abundant green spaces and uncluttered atmosphere is why many gravitate to the area.

“Purchasers are attracted to the tranquil open spaces of Regent ’s Park,” says Zach Madison from Savills St John’s Wood and Regent ’s Park offices. “The area offers 487 acres of royal parkland and gardens along with good schools, restaurants and connectivity to the city - the lifestyle here is second to none,” he continues.

Charlie Gibson, Managing Director of Oliver Bernard Private shares his reasons as to why property investors love the vibrancy that surrounds this area. “It’s home to Lord’s Cricket Ground, the legendary Abbey Road and Regent’s Park itself. This exclusive area of London really comes alive in summer. Book your Test tickets, or make for the park’s open air theatre to get your entertainment as the sun comes down. Be it rowing on the lake, or visiting the iconic London Zoo, or perhaps just enjoying a tranquil picnic on the park, you soon forget you’re in the heart of a bustling London.

The architecture gives residents huge volumes and vast lateral floor spaces overlooking the park, two key ingredients buyers always look for and that are impossible to find in neighbouring chic locations like Mayfair and Marylebone.”

Characterised by its stucco-front houses, the properties here are uniquely beautiful. Charlie sheds more light on the homes here… “The vast rounded park, with the white stucco terraces on what is known as “the outer circle” was designed by John Nash, the architect to the crown; he

Zach Madison

Savills St John’s Wood and Regent's Park offices

surrounded the park with palatial terraces, a canal and a lake in the centre. With an eye for royal needs, the properties surrounding the park are a mix of both terraced and detached white stucco houses. On the north-west side of the park, opposite the US ambassador's London residence, Winfield House, you have the detached house overlooking the canal - these are the most sought-after with private driveways and large gardens.

“To the west of the park you have the likes of Hanover Terrace where inspirational characters such as Damian Hirst reside. With an essential requirement to house a full-size snooker table, you get the idea of the kind of rooms these terraces boast. On the east you have Cumberland Terrace with iconic columns and pillars replicating the architecture you find in Rome and at the southern-most point you will find York Terrace West and East; some of the finest lateral flats have been sold and bought here with as much as 14 windows overlooking the park on one floor.”

What then do we make of the prices here? Zach says, “Most buyers looking to invest in property in Regent's Park would need to spend upwards of £1 million, however most buyers purchasing an apartment in one of the terraces can expect to pay in the region of £3 to £8 million.

“Homes located on Chester Terrace - one of the most sought-after roads on the east side of the park - are typically more modern in style having been rebuilt after the war, and benefit from internal elevators. Properties here command upwards of £10 million, while houses on Hanover Terrace, all of which have their own private gardens, seek anything from £15 to £40 million. Values can exceed £60 million when it comes to some of the park’s most exclusive villas. Many of these sales are done discreetly and off-market.

“However, there is opportunity to be had in the park. Towards the end of 2022, a property in need of development came to the market for circa £550K. While incredibly rare, it shows the opportunities that are here.”

“Those seeking peace and some time spent in nature will find it in Queen Mary’s Gardens – world-famous for having London’s largest collection of roses,” says Charlie. “Away from the park, and perfect for a weekend browse, there’s also St John’s Wood High Street: be sure to grab a tray of sushi from Maido before. Along with luxury beauty (think FaceGym and Space NK) and fashion boutiques (Zadig & Voltaire and ba&sh), you’ll find ultra-chic homewares and the iconic Panzer’s Deli, selling all the artisanal treats. We love the Russian ice cream and New Zealand honey,” he continues.

Lovely courtyard

This sensational duplex four-/five-bedroom apartment benefits from its own gym, study and private courtyard garden set within a handsome French second empire style terrace, built c. 1875 and located opposite Regent's Parks 487 acres of royal parkland and gardens. The property also includes an off-street parking space and 24-hour porter.

Words by Quinten Reid

Park Row

Since his debut back in 1939, Batman, or the Caped Crusader as he is otherwise called, has been thrilling fans with his crime-fighting escapades for decades. He may live in Gotham City, but one location has found a new and interesting way to bring Batman from TV screens and the comic book pages into a real-life space.

On the tips of many fans’ tongues is Park Row; the gorgeous DC-inspired restaurant featuring five premium restaurant and bar spaces. Park Row follows the vision of highly acclaimed establishments around the world, one that aims at giving the most unique experience to every visitor.

A stroll through the labyrinth streets of Soho leads to an almost unassuming building. You’ll descend into the DC universe via a fake bookcase, down an illuminated spiral staircase, before arriving at the main dining hall called Pennyworth’s. Named after Alfred Pennyworth, a British special forces veteran turned butler, he is the most loyal friend and confidant of both Bruce Wayne and Batman.

The theatrical dining experience starts with ‘Scales of Justice’, which is seared Scottish scallops with sriracha butter and puffed rice, along with tiger’s milk ceviche and caviar. Each is served on old-school brass scales – a glorious representation of Harvey Dent’s twofaced character. Coupled with a cocktail like Blue Boy, which is poured out of a painting, you’ll begin to truly immerse yourself in all of Gotham’s glory.

The theatrics don’t stop there. If you’ve ordered the ‘Kiss from a Rose’ dessert then you’re in for even more of a treat. Featuring vanilla custard served with a lychee ice cream, a server seals the deal with a rose dipped in liquid nitrogen that’s crumbled on top.

The service here is truly lavish, and live music from behind a glittering curtain adds to the appeal. If you do visit, you’ll find yourself cooing over every quirk and Batman reference – a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Piazza Italiana

Luxury Italian restaurant Piazza

Italiana is housed in the grade-II listed former Linen Bank on Threadneedle Street in the heart of the City. Spread over the ground floor and a mezzanine floor, the restaurant offers a memorable dining experience, impressing discerning diners again and again with its delicious classic Italian cuisine.

Cooking here is focused and precise, with its signature dish, a truffle pasta, hand spun in a pecorino wheel at your table. Other memorable dishes include the Ravioli Al Granchio, which is ravioli with white crab meat, lobster-tomato sauce, and asparagus. The Linguine All’astice comprises lobster linguine, creamy tomatolobster sauce, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and pecorino.

Every aspect of the restaurant is infused with warm and soft tones; rich, dark wood used for the joinery and bar counters is contrasted by the soft tones of the upholstery, while modern chandeliers visually divide the floor into two. These elements make a bold statement that exude sophistication - it’s the kind of restaurant that could get by on looks alone.

Whilst Piazza Italiana’s furniture and interior accents add an intriguing effect to the overall space, it’s the extensive wine list that many rave about, the perfect accompaniments to their delicious meals.

If beautiful décor, mood lighting and great Italian dishes are your thing, you won’t want to miss out.

Carefully crafted

Moorschmied’s knives combine exceptional quality with performance

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can find the small family business Moorschmied, located in Lower Saxony in Germany. There, Damascus steel is enthusiastically forged by hand, from which precious one-of-a-kind knives are created in elaborate craftsmanship – as personal as a fingerprint!

The Moorschmied family has made it their business to produce German Damascus knives of the highest quality. Not only do their many years of experience and material expertise of each individual flow into these knives, but the structure of a purely family-run business means that new impulses are always being given to the ongoing development of the products, which are characterised

by youthful passion and a prudence that spans the generations.

Recently they created a pure and classy but not so classic and very limited steak knife, made of 320 layers of hand-forged Damascus steel with a remarkable hardness of 61 Rockwell. For this knife, the craftsmen combined this steel with high-quality stabilised local woods, for example a bog oak, which has almost 4000 years under its belt, and united this perfect combination with beautiful ornamental rivets.

It is just a pure example of the knives that are made in this forge. Of course, the blacksmiths are open to almost all wishes of their exclusive customers. This includes fancy damascus patterns and even handle materials like mammoth ivory – whatever the customer wants they can certainly get.

A sub-penthouse bachelor apartment designed by Cigal Kaplan Interiors

igal Kaplan Interiors were absolutely delighted when they were appointed to design this newly built apartment. The brief was to create a contemporary space, with an emphasis on functionality. The client has a mixture of eclectic tastes and interests, and Cigal Kaplan were keen to show this off within his home.

The company agreed the property’s main selling point is its gorgeous view, overlooking Central London, so they really wanted the space to be both personal while emphasising the beauty of the surroundings.

Cigal Kaplan worked to this brief and prioritised each room’s design with its intended purpose. For example, they knew that the living room would be the ‘relaxation area’ so they created a neutral colour scheme and injected other hues with items like the client’s vinyl, artwork and books - these kept the interior relaxed and personal.

The London look

Cigal Kaplan  www.cigalkaplaninteriors.com

As the client is an avid cyclist, he wanted Cigal Kaplan to incorporate an indoor cycle training space. The challenges with this sort of very ‘practical’ room is that they are often tough to decorate beautifully, however the company decided that using wooden slats as a storage unit and decorative piece was an on trend, inexpensive yet modern idea. This added a wonderful amount of texture in the space and highlighted the client’s personality, allowing him easy access to some of his most prized possessions – his bikes!

his property is a new build located in Hampstead, North London, very close to Hampstead Heath. Architect Chris Snow was appointed by the client to design a new home on the existing site to cater to the needs of the family which includes multiple generations living together. Sarah Ellison, founder of Frank and Faber was hired to add a magical touch to the interiors.

The property is unique in many ways. With a Neo-Georgian exterior constructed in line with the regulations of the borough, the interior is surprisingly contemporary in style. There are eight bedrooms in total, occupied by two brothers and their families as well as their parents, all of whom divide their time between Nairobi and London.

The clients were very keen to have a home that, whilst very much oriented in its geographical setting, reflected their international heritage and lifestyle. They are passionate about history and wanted their home to be filled with artefacts that they own.

The interiors reflected the architectural mix of classic and contemporary. Elements such as marble, timber and stone were used to make discreet full-height pocket doors and joinery. The use of natural materials for the furniture and lighting brought an innate warmth and sense of wellbeing. Softness was achieved by consistent use of elegant window drapes.

Inspired by the surrounding gardens and neighbouring Hampstead Heath, a range of fabrics which mixed patterns and textures were introduced inspired by the client’s British, Indian and African heritage.

Free-standing furniture and accessories blended bespoke designs with contemporary, vintage and antiques, sourced from a range of international suppliers which were selected for their provenance, and connection to our clients (as well as aesthetics).

There was immense attention to detail visible from the macro to micro. From the hand-selected marble slab adorning the bathrooms to the beautiful bespoke shelving unit which Frank and Faber designed as a multi-functional storage/partition solution, bespoke rugs and lighting, right down the hand-carved headrest from north-west Kenya.

Light and airy

G Studio was appointed to reconfigure and refurbish a tired three-bedroom purpose-built apartment in the leafy suburbs of Hampstead in North London. TG Studio started the project by stripping the apartment back to its concrete base and reconfiguring the layout to cater for the client’s needs.

The retired owners live between London and Tel Aviv and wanted a more spacious pied-à-terre where they could truly enjoy London metropolitan life and catch up with their London family in a light airy and spacious accommodation.

The clients wanted a more modern design with minimal detailing and clear lines while incorporating some of their existing furniture. A palette of cream with hints of colour was also requested. TG Studios’ full interior architecture and interior design skills and experience were used to open up the apartment to create one very large open plan living, dining and kitchen area which now oversees the rear communal gardens with light pouring in from three sets of French doors.

As you enter the apartment the newly formed entrance hall is flooded with natural light through four black Crittal-style doors, separating but still linking to the now full width open plan living room and dining room. What was a dark uninviting entrance is now light and open and leads you straight into the open plan living area.

The living, dining and kitchen room were created by removing internal stone walls and connecting the three rooms to make a 16m-long space. The ceiling height was increased and pushed up as high as possible exposing the structural concrete beam with only the perimeter lowered to allow for cabling and recessed lighting. The clients were thrilled with the end result and the apartment now really works for them.

unobstructed behind the rose-gold coloured hands. At each index, a Top Wesselton diamond adds delicate notes of brilliance to the dial, behind a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both faces. The case back, in titanium, carries a smoked sapphire crystal window that allows admiring glimpses at the Rado calibre R763 movement, a marvellous piece of technology in itself.

A true legacy

diamonds.

unafraid to

Baume & Mercier have created several versions of the Riviera watch, including this “Swiss-made” self-winding “Coastline” model in 33-mm diameter. In its steel case, this design has a gradated midnight blue lacquer dial set with 63 diamonds. The diamonds portray the seaboard of the French Riviera, beckoning to an adventure from Monaco to Saint Tropez. The asymmetry introduced by this gem-setting, which could be described as topographic – an effect made possible through the combination of precious stones in seven different sizes–is a first for the Riviera collection. Like a summer wave, the gem-setting extends to a portion of the bezel, case and integrated steel strap. This design is unafraid to venture into the unexpected. That’s the Riviera spirit!

Collaborative effort

imited to just eight pieces, these new Ice and Blizzard editions are the result of a collaboration between MB&F and French jewellery designer Emmanuel Tarpin, best known for his unique pieces that combine his love for nature, sculpture, innovative materials and gemstones. Both Legacy Machine FlyingT models are inspired by swirling snow and icy stalagmites. The first model, called Ice, features asymmetrical diamond-set stalagmites that encroach on the sapphire crystal dome and the movement. Each icy stalagmite is different, replicating the randomness of nature. The claws of the diamond stalagmites have not quite claimed the movement and the matt lapis lazuli dial, leaving the beauty of the mechanism and the time visible to the eye.

For the second model, named Blizzard, Tarpin let his imagination run free into the Alps where he has been skiing since he was two years old. He has interpreted memories of being caught in blizzards of snow into the LM FlyingT with brilliant-cut diamonds set under the sapphire crystal dome and closed-set diamonds set into the matt lapis lazuli dial, depicting snowflakes on the ground. The result is like a snow globe in motion.

Andrea Marechal Watson rounds up a spring cornucopia of shows around the world

Joan M ó

ABSOLUTE REALITY

The art of Joan Miró (1893-1983) has lost none of its seductive and enigmatic appeal. As an artist who saw in the modern world and the first avant-garde movements, Miró hovered in the Surrealist milieu, joining the group in 1924, and was fascinated by mysticism, visions and dreams as were other members of the group. This latest exhibition at the Guggenheim Bilbao explores the years between 1920 – when he took his first trip to Paris – to the end of the Second War. Unlike many of the Surrealists, he became politically engaged as a result of the Spanish Civil War and the lead up to Hitler's invasion of Poland as works shown here reference.

In numerous interviews from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting and declared an "assassination of painting" but in light of subsequent developments in contemporary art, his works appear rather conventional today – and far from assassinations.

In the period covered by this show Miro moved away from his explorations of magic realism and developed his characteristic iconography - floating signs on abstract or ambiguous backgrounds. Prehistoric art, including rock paintings, petroglyphs and statuettes, held a particular attraction for Miró, who proposed returning to the dawn of art in order to retrieve its original spiritual sense.

Until 28th May at the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain

HOT OFF THE GRIDDLE

orks by the Alice Neel (1900-1984) have been popping up in UK exhibitions for decades but this is the largest show to date devoted to this vibrant American painter.

Neel is particularly noted for vivid portraits that capture the faces of 20th century America.

Describing herself as "a collector of souls", Neel worked in New York at a time when figurative painting was deeply unfashionable. She became known as the 'court painter of the underground,' because many works celebrated marginalised groups: labour leaders, Black and Puerto Rican children, pregnant women, Greenwich Village eccentrics, civil rights activists and queer performers. As a member of the US Communist Party, Neel came to the

S.H.RAZA

The first ever solo show dedicated to the Indian artist Sayed Haider Raza (1922-2016) has opened in France at the Centre Pompidou.

Following his early training in India, Raza lived and worked, mainly in Paris, from 1950 to 2011. The 100 paintings on show exemplify the challenges of the transcultural dynamics in 20th century art.

Raza was trained in Mumbai, where the first modern art galleries began to open in the 1940s. It was an effervescent artistic and political climate leading up to the events of 1947 and Partition.

The training Raza received at art school focussed on classical Indian art but in 1947 Raza became a founding member of the Progressive Artists Group, a collective of cosmopolitan artists determined to invent and showcase new forms of expression. After moving to Paris in 1950, Raza

The Barbican's exhibition, organised in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, Paris, brings together over 70 of Neel’s most vibrant portraits, shown alongside archival photography and film, bringing to life what she called "the swirl of the era".

From 16th February until 21st May at the Barbican Art Gallery, Barbican Centre, London, UK

Works by painter Anthony Cudahy now on show in France reference a wide variety of sources from masterpieces of European art and gay iconography to family narratives.

This is the Brooklyn-based painter's first exhibition in a French institution, with 20 recent paintings being shown in dialogue with a range of anonymous works from the museum’s archives, in the words of the curator "breathing life into works rarely taken out of storage."

Part of Cudahy's process is to research and create an archive of reference images which he then re-visits and re-imagines – creating multiple interpretations from a single image.

Black Sun | 1968

"I have a great love for the images, whether from my family archive, the internet, other painter's paintings, or queer archives," he says. "Painting in multiples helps me to understand that you don't have to do everything in one painting. I feel more free to try out a colour or painthandling idea when I know it's not my only go at the image."

His earlier training in the principles of the two-dimensional, fragmented composition of Rajasthani miniatures of the 17th to 19th centuries enabled Raza to bridge the gap that separated him from abstraction.

The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation. This latest major exhibition at the National Gallery celebrates the achievements of three giants of the era: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and follows the influences they had on wider circles of artists across Europe.

With over a hundred works by artists ranging from Klimt and Kokoschka, Matisse and Picasso to Mondrian and Kandinsky complemented by a selection of sculpture by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel, the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism, Cubism and Abstraction.

The exhibition includes some of the most iconic works of art created during these decades.

HILMA AF KLINT & PIET MONDRIAN:

Forms of life

he works of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian are unmistakablenotwithstanding the fact that one has been hung upside down in various museums for 75 years! In later life Mondrian seemed to have become stuck in the grid world he created and his early works give little clue to the direction he was to take. The new show at Tate Britain is a unique chance to see Mondrian in a new light while discovering the visionary work of Swedish painter Hilma af Klint.

Af Klint invented her own language of abstract art rooted in nature – and so the curators argue did Mondrian. "At the heart of both of their artistic journeys they shared a desire to understand the forces behind life on earth."

Mondrian did in fact began his career – like Af Klint – as a landscape painter. Here alongside the iconic grids are also rarely exhibited paintings

of flowers that he continued to create throughout his life but which are rarely seen.

A number of enigmatic works by Af Klint, in which natural forms become a pathway to abstraction, bear witness to the fact she was also a medium, sharing with Mondrian ideas of spirituality. The exhibition showcases a number of largescale, otherworldly works she believed were commissioned by higher powers.

Featuring around 250 works, including paintings, drawings and archival materials, the show will reveal how their art reflected radical new ideas, theories and scientific discoveries in an era of rapid social change.

From 20th April until 3rd September at Tate Modern, London, UK

enesis has unveiled its first dedicated electric car, the GV60, a model that embodies the brand’s journey towards electrification. The GV60 is a high-performance electric car with a sleek and athletic coupé crossover utility vehicle (CUV) design that expands Genesis’ ‘Athletic Elegance’ design identity into the sustainable luxury space. Featuring the Two Line lamps, the front design perfectly complements the vehicle’s refined and voluminous body. Iconic and instantly recognisable,

the Two Line design is a symbol of Genesis vehicles. The GV60 features a clamshell hood, a single panel which combines the hood and fenders, creating a sleek impression. The vehicle also comes with a new wing emblem on the hood. Decorated with the Guilloché pattern often seen in luxury watches, the thickness of the emblem has been reduced by nearly 80 percent compared to the previous one.

The GV60’s body surfacing is seamless and minimal without undercuts or character lines. Yet, the muscular volumes bulging beneath the surface maximise the wide stance that characterises the visual presence of GV60.

The coupé silhouette, streamlined from the hood to the spoiler, solidifies a more athletic profile with a short overhang and a long wheelbase of 2,900mm.

ith 500 horsepower from its five-cylinder turbo motor and weighing just 750kg, the innovative Donkervoot F22 combines stunning design, sheer speed, handling purity and everyday usability while retaining links to Donkervoort’s historic open-wheel layout.

Donkervoort has redefined driving purity by doubling the F22’s torsional and bending rigidity (compared to the outgoing D8 GTO Individual Series), thanks to a hybrid chassis construction of thinwall steel tube and Ex-Core carbon-fibre chassis construction. The F22 supercar is capable of hitting 2.15G of lateral acceleration while remaining the lightest road-registered, two-seat supercar in the world.

The Donkervoort F22 became the first Donkervoort to be sold out based on design sketches alone before the car was even seen. The heart of the Donkervoort F22 powertrain is the front midengined five-cylinder turbocharged engine. The in-line engine was originally built by Audi Sport, and Donkervoort engineers have tuned it for even more power, torque and low-end drivability. It boasts 500 horsepower – in a machine weighing just 750kg.

Vessels designed to push the boundaries

One-of-a-kind

Lobanov projected Star as a 133-metre-long vessel that would tower above the waterline by almost 60-metres with a symmetric fore and aft double-ended hull. Inside, this superyacht will include 3,500m2 of space and a total volume of 9,000 gross tons. It would have eight massive decks, connected by no less than four elevators – one of which would go to the top and then underwater, where a submarine viewing deck would be.

Lobanov also planned that the Star would be powered by no less than eight MTU 16V 4000 m33f generators and two azimuth

thrusters. A dynamic positioning system would rotate Star within her own length throughout the day, meaning guests would compensate for the lack of massive exposed sundecks by getting direct sunlight whenever they wanted.

Accommodation on board would be possible for 36 guests and staff, or for gatherings of over 200 people. And, while it looks like Star is almost barren in terms of amenities, as compared to other superyachts, it’s not so: it would come with its own helipad, and a unique viewing platform at the top of the tip. This is in addition to the submarine viewing deck.

Zero emissions

After the world premiere of his award-winning CLX96 design (exterior and interior) at FLIBS 2022, international designer Jozeph Forakis presents the visionary Pegasus envisioned for introduction in 2030.

The futuristic yacht was conceived on a beach in Koufonissi island, Greece. “I was inspired to create a yacht as close to the sea and nature as possible, made of clouds floating above the waterline,” Forakis says, “I wanted to honour nature by blending into it, becoming virtually invisible.”

This desire for “invisibility” drove Forakis to develop a true zero emissions yacht that is “invisible both in design and in her environmental impact,” says the designer.

The 88m superyacht’s construction uses robotic 3D printing to create a mesh framework integrating both hull and superstructure. The result is an extraordinarily strong and lightweight structure that can be produced using less energy, material, waste, space, and time compared to conventional construction.

The unique exterior design starts with a low, linear hull with a plumb bow and silvery metallic finish, which blends chameleon-like with the water’s colours and movements. This foundation at the waterline supports the superstructure with multi-tiered, ephemeral glass wings that reflect the clouds and the sky.

Like a shape-shifting vessel from the future, the elegant, lattice framework of her 3D-printed structure becomes visible through the reflective glass at certain angles and lighting conditions. The dramatic triangulated structure allows light to penetrate all levels of the interior while framing the remarkable views in all directions.

Cruise in style

Australia’s largest commercial superyacht, Mischief, is heading for new waters this year and will be available to charter in Tahiti, Bora Bora and Fiji.

This stunning tri-deck vessel features six guest cabins, a crew of 14 including an award-winning head chef, an enviable collection of water toys and an array of exceptional features like an infrared sauna, LEDs and a jacuzzi.  In March, Mischief will head to French Polynesia where she will be available to charter in Tahiti and Bora Bora, exploring the stunning underwater seascape, enjoying the beautiful islands and villages, and offering some of the world’s best deep sea and spear fishing on offer. Following her tour of French Polynesia, Mischief will head back towards Australia in September, stopping via Fiji where she will be available to charter.

From scenic train rides and charming small towns, to the thundering waters of Niagara Falls and the rugged peaks of the Canadian Rockies, Canada has it all. For property investors, Daena Allen-Noxon, Broker & Senior Vice President, Sales and Emiline Layfield, Sales Representative, both of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada say, “Canada has some of the best skiing internationally and whilst Ontario isn’t known for its mountains, the ski hills in Ontario are known for producing some of the world’s most talented racers and some of the most robust social networks and communities around racing and recreational skiing.”

Christopher Vincent, Sales Associate & Senior Vice President, Sales, B.A., and Laura Wright, Sales Associate & Senior Vice President, Sales, both of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada adds “The Canadian Rockies have an incredibly long and consistent ski season. Sunshine and Lake Louise open in early November and operate as late as the Victoria Day long-weekend in May. The terrain is incredible with something for everyone from beginner areas to big mountain skiing. Because our resorts are all in National and Provincial Parks,

the scenery is second-to-none as you look over thousands of kilometres of wilderness. The other big factor is that Calgary International Airport has direct flights throughout Canada, the US, Europe and Asia, and it is an hour-and-a-half drive on a four-lane highway, an easy place to access.”

In terms of sought-after ski locations, Emilie LaJoie, Director of Business Development for The Whistler Real Estate Company comments, “Whistler is the most sought-after market in Canada for purchasing ski properties. Properties in or near Whistler Village or Creekside Village are incredibly popular as many offer ski-in ski-out access or short walks to the mountain, restaurants, bars and shopping. Other, smaller yet popular ski resorts across the country include Alberta, Collingwood, Ontario and Mount Tremblant, Quebec.”

Christopher and Laura suggest other locations, including Canmore… “Canmore, home of the 1988 Winter Olympics, is bordered by Banff National Park and Kananaskis Provincial Park. The town itself is not in the Parks which means there is a great selection of properties available to buyers.  Banff and Canmore are connected by public transit and in the summer a paved

Architectural masterpiece

Perched high above Alta Lake you will find 5462 Stonebridge Drive, a modern mountain property. Cleverly constructed on an incredible 7.625-acre lot, this home incorporates its rugged surroundings in the most remarkable way. The building and design features seamlessly connect the estate to the natural world and blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Walk through a radiant entryway of blue glass and be greeted by a brilliant spiral floor plan that wraps around the stunning inner courtyard on one side while opening up to the phenomenal all-encompassing views over the lake to the world-famous Whistler and Blackcomb slopes on the other. The courtyard is a pivotal area of this property and is dotted with three exquisite light cannons, which are stunning art installations that also double as light features in the wine room and spa while providing fresh air into the home’s mechanical area.

An impressive forty-foot granite fireplace that stretches to meet a power operated skylight acts as the centrepiece of this area while three rotating Capoferri doors connect this space to an incredible outdoor deck. With over 3,000 sq. ft. of outdoor decks and terraces, indoor/outdoor living is made easy as all spaces throughout this mountain estate flow and connect seamlessly to the outdoors.

“The Canadian Rockies have an incredibly long and consistent ski season. Sunshine and Lake Louise opened in early November and operate as late as the Victoria Day long-weekend in May.”

multi-use pathway system. Our ski guests often have other adventures when they are visiting - snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice fishing, skating and hiking, which are all offered in the area.”

There are certain rules regarding short-term rentals in Canada, explains Christopher and Laura. “These rules relate to platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. The majority of communities in the Bow Valley have a residential use which means no short-term rentals. There are very specific areas and buildings that allow short-term rentals. If it is a personal-use ski property, then there are a wide variety of options. However, if someone wants to generate additional income, they need to find specific property types that have a Tourist Home or Commercial Visitor Accommodation use.”

“Canada has a robust ski offering and there are incredible and unique homes around the Ontario ski hills, offering unique year-round homes, and luxury year-round properties, says Daena and Emiline. “From an investment point of view one can rent out their homes for top dollars both winter and summer, the prices are staggering,” they continue.

Emilie focuses on the future of Whistler, stating: “Whistler Blackcomb has committed to significant lift upgrades in the next couple of years to substantially increase the resort’s upload capacity and allow more skiers to enjoy more runs during their days on the mountain. Vails’ EPIC pass program also makes it incredibly easy for pass holders from around the world to access the slopes of Whistler Blackcomb.

“Whistler has incredible appeal as a luxury property destination due to the world-class skiing, amenities, dinning and proximity to a major international airport. The ability to use your property as a hub for exceptional adventure year-round is also desirable. Safety, both physical and of your investment, are also notable reasons to purchase in Whistler.”

Indoor-outdoor living

Enjoy the dynamic and refined lifestyle offered by this stunning, extensively renovated residence, set above the valley in the highly-desired, ski-in/ski-out neighbourhood of Sunridge.

ski destinations

Colorado

With everything from breathtaking mountains and wildlife, to thriving urban cities and plenty of western heritage, Colorado is a dreamy destination for property investors.

Jason Mansfield, Associate US & Canada at Knight Frank adds, “Unsurprisingly, people are drawn to Colorado during the winter due to the quality of the snow.  Very low temperatures and humidity combine to produce very light and dry powder that falls over an enormous amount of terrain that’s spread over four distinct, unattached mountains: Aspen Mountain, Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass.”

“Due to its location and elevation, Colorado ski resorts receive a tremendous amount of snow ensuring excellent skiing every season,” says Josh Lautenberg, License Partner for Engel & Völkers Vail. He continues: “Our resorts are also quite large, offering varied and diverse terrain for all levels making resorts a desirable destination for skiers from all over the country in the world. We also have exceptional shopping, dining and a myriad of other activities available in addition to skiing. As a result, real estate prices have been very strong in this area historically and are forecasted to continue to remain strong for many years to come.”

So, what attracts property investors to Colorado? Aaron Rabins and Brooke Horan-Kates, both Broker Associates from Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate explain that “Colorado is an excellent location for investors due to its strong economic growth along with one of the fastest growing populations in the US. We also have some of the best ski areas and mountain towns in the nation that provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy the outdoors year-round.

“Two main reasons that CO is a great ski destination are the accessibility  and the weather! We have great snow due to the high elevation and dry climate,  and we enjoy 300+ days of sunshine throughout the year! You can have a nice night sitting inside by the fire watching a big snowstorm and enjoy a “powder day” on the slopes with sunshine the next day.”

The most popular areas for purchasing ski properties according to Jonathan Boxer and Scott Weber, both Principal/Brokers for Christie’s International Real Estate Aspen Snowmass are downtown Aspen, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass Village. “True ski-in/skiout properties in Aspen are hard to come by. The most desired locations in Aspen during the ski season are in downtown Aspen. The closer to the Aspen Mountain gondola, the more desirable.

Stunning property

This five-bedroom eight-bathroom new construction created by Alpinist Ventures is just moments from all four ski mountains, Maroon Creek and Aspen golf courses and steps to the Moore open space. With a distinct nod to European style and craftsmanship, 30 Maroon integrates old-growth timbers, reclaimed wood, locally fabricated architectural steel and a unique living roof. The home effortlessly rises from the landscape, creating an elemental, seamless fusion with the surrounding mountain vistas.

Inside 30 Maroon Court, thoughtful layouts combine intimacy with dramatic open living spaces, making this home a dream for both entertaining and small family gatherings.

“Aspen Highlands has a village of homes that surround the ski slopes. There are fewer of them, but many of them offer instant ski access.

“Buttermilk has a handful of ski homes that boast ski access. Buttermilk offers the fewest ski-in/ski-out homes out of the four ski mountains.

“Snowmass Village offers the most ski-in/ski-out homes and condo options. Snowmass offers the largest skiable terrain with over 3,000 acres. In Snowmass Village, the homes are more spread out, and more convenient to get to the ski hill faster.”

Before you hop aboard the property train, Josh states, “Many of our multifamily properties do have homeowners associations that impose certain rules about the appearance of homes related to upkeep and maintenance and also restrictions on additions to homes as well as uses of common areas. In regards to rentals, the short-term rental market does have a host of regulations. These relate to the number of days a property is rented as well as certain taxes that are levied upon a rental property and the number of people that can inhabit a rental property. These regulations are designed to preserve the quality of the neighbourhoods and communities in which these rental properties are located.”

To conclude, Aaron and Brooke explain, “Colorado will always be a premier ski destination that offers an exceptional luxury experience. When people come to Colorado they can relax and take a break from their busy lives. With the multitude of offerings for different mountain  towns, each providing their own unique experiences, Colorado will  remain a top destination for all ski enthusiasts.  Additionally, Colorado  is a leader in environmental initiatives  aimed at protecting the beautiful mountains we call home so we can all enjoy them for many years to come.”

This three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment offers a direct ski in and out system . This property also enjoys great sunshine in the morning and is naturally bright all year long.

The Center Of Doha

The Centre of Doha Beautification project is about re-establishing streets as experiential public spaces in the most critical areas within the centre of Doha, creating positive and memorable experiences.

The design aims to bring a coherent character and identity to the city centre that links important landmarks as well as creating a unique urban experience for city dwellers. Several strategies are used to accomplish this starting with creating a new transportation masterplan that will de-load the current road network and encourage visitors and occupants to use public transport or walk to their destinations.

The scheme identifies nodal areas where there could be additional points of attraction whether new micro parks or locations for public gathering and enjoyment such as cafes.

The Corniche Beautification Project is the main artery that connects Hamad Airport to the city of

Doha. Many of the country’s major cultural and government structures overlook the Corniche such as the Museum of Islamic Art and the Qatar National Museum.

The Corniche and its surroundings are considered the main area for cultural and national events. The development consists of two major elements including the introduction of a cycleway link that would connect the airport road cycleway to the proposed cycleway in West Bay North. Secondly, the introduction of pedestrian underpasses and sunken plazas that will cross the Corniche Road linking the seaside to the city side.

The underpasses are strategically placed to connect and activate major destinations and hubs such as the Doha Metro and the Al Bidda Park underground carparks. A fusion of architecture and design, both beautification projects will create one-of-a-kind experiences

They were also designed to blend seamlessly with the hotel’s six luxury suites. It is these renovations and carefully curated details that make accommodations at The Little Nell stand out from all other Aspen hotel rooms. All hotel accommodations feature a unique floor plan and gas log fireplaces, and most have private balconies. With two restaurants and three bars on-premise, in addition to 24-hour room service, the dining options are endless.

Ombria resort

If you’ve got a case of the ‘been there, done that’, let us reassure you that the world’s not done with surprising you. Take the Ombria Resort, which is a true gem of luxury and elegance, nestled among the rolling hills and picturesque countryside of the Algarve region in southern Portugal. The resort is styled like a luxurious ocean liner, permanently docked well away from the crowds who visit the Algarve.

At Ombria, the views seize centre stage. From nearly every vantage point, you’ll be able to take in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. But you’ll have to wait just a little to take advantage of these views as the resort’s first phase will be ready in spring and will include 65 branded residences managed by the American hotel chain Viceroy; 12 three- to seven-bedroom “Alcedo” villas with private swimming pools, and an 18-hole golf course. Another 83 flats ranging from one- to four-bedrooms in the resort’s Oriole Village are scheduled for completion in Autumn 2025.

The Ombria Resort Golf Course will be a par-71, 18-hole championship course designed by renowned golf course architect, Jorge Santana da Silva. The course was designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding countryside, and features stunning views of the Algarve region. To cap it all, The Spa at the resort will provide a wellness retreat delving deeper than most into unique treatments, coupled with its steam vitality pool and Finnish sauna.

You may have heard Chinese whispers that properties licensed for habitation in many parts of continental Portugal no longer qualify for the Golden Visa. But this does not include properties located in municipalities of Alcoutim, Aljezur, Castro Marim, Monchique, Vila do Bispo, and homes in some parts of Loulé still qualify. Therefore, you can still invest in a slice of paradise at Ombria Resort – we’d wager you’ll want to stay put and be voluntarily marooned here.

Dreamy Villas

A stay at one of Five Star Greece's private villas will allow you to experience the real Mediterranean lifestyle

Ileana von Hirsch, director of Five Star Greece, has a whole host of stunning villas hand-picked for their style, individuality, comfort and diversity. With a long list of repeat clients and referrals built up over twenty years, Ileana’s team go to great lengths to match clients to the right villas – whether a bougainvillaea-draped village house in the shadow of a medieval castle, or a sprawling, contemporary beachfront estate with boat and jetty.

Bespoke services are key at Five Star Greece – instead of being yet another online platform, no properties are marketed on the website; instead, a senior advisor will take your brief and then select a shortlist of properties, along with added extras – whether it be yoga, beauty treatments, a bouzouki party, picnic, or guided hikes.

Matching the guest to the right location or island is as important as the right villa according to Ileana: “Clients are asked to be as detailed as they can in their brief. At the top of the range, villas have all the amenities and services of a 5-star hotel, but with the freedom to wander round in pyjamas, enjoy a private spa, catch a movie in a home cinema, go to their own gym, or board a boat from their private jetty!”

VISITING Europe

From charming coastal villages to bustling cities, Europe boasts a wealth of attractive locations with a growing demand for residential properties

Monaco

Monaco, the worldrenowned principality on the French Riviera, is a hub of luxury and exclusivity. The tiny city-state is known for its glamorous lifestyle, stunning coastal views, and a thriving property market. The demand for properties in Monaco has only increased in recent years, as buyers from around the world seek to secure a slice of this idyllic paradise.

Graham Rowan, Executive Chairman for Monaco Estate shares his reasons as to why the location is popular with property investors… “The tiny Mediterranean Principality of Monaco is a magnet for high net worth families looking for a home that combines 300 days of sunshine with high security and low taxes. For many years demand for property here has exceeded supply, with the inevitable result that prices have risen consistently regardless of what happens in the wider world. While the economic and political uncertainty of 2022 has impacted many property markets around the world, interest in Monaco has escalated as high net worth investors seek a safe home for their family and their capital.”

From breathtaking sea-view apartments to grand villas, the Monaco property market offers a range of high-end investment opportunities. The most popular areas for purchasing property, according to Graham, are based on where property investors feel most comfortable… “While Monaco

covers a small area, it is made up of several distinct districts that tend to appeal to different types of investor. Those who want to be in the centre of the action are drawn to Monte Carlo and its world-famous casino, while those who prefer to be near the beach focus on the Larvotto district. Families looking for a quieter district with parks and open spaces are drawn to Fontvieille, reclaimed from the sea in the 1980s and with its own marina, bars and restaurants. The newest and most expensive real estate in the Principality is in the reclaimed land of Mareterra where a mix of apartments and town houses have attracted ultra-high net worth investors from around the globe.”

When considering restrictions for foreign property investors, Aleksandra Taranova, Real Estate Consultant for Mercury Group Ltd. says, “There are no restrictions on the purchase of real estate in Monaco for foreigners. There are no income taxes for individuals in the country, but for legal entities the situation is completely different. Monaco has an inheritance tax, the amount of which depends on the degree of kinship (children and grandchildren are exempt from it). For close relatives, such as sisters or brothers, a rate of 8% of the amount of capital transferred by inheritance is provided. 10-13% are paid by distant relatives, and when receiving an inheritance without family ties, it is necessary to pay 16% of the capital.

“Only residents of the Principality of Monaco pay taxes on inheritance and gifts. Only property

Stern, this home enjoys a panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea, and has a living area of approximately 1,150m².

Known for its luxury and exclusivity, Monaco offers a range of exciting activities and entertainment options. Aleksandra says, “Larvotto Beach is one of the most glamorous beaches in the world. This artificial pebble beach with developed infrastructure is located near Casino de Monte-Carlo. Monaco has two picturesque ports: Hercule or Fontvieille. There you can admire views of the sea or arrange a boat trip by renting a yacht. Monaco also has museums, including the famous Oceanographic Museum, and picturesque parks.”

“With such a sophisticated population to serve, it’s hardly surprising that Monaco offers a plethora of fine dining options, says Graham. “At the higher end some of the most popular choices include the Horizon Rooftop in Monte Carlo and the Michelin starred La Montgolfiere in Monaco Ville. In Fontvieille both Graziella and La Saliere offer Italian cuisine that won’t break the bank,” he continues.

Monaco has a strong economy, which is supported by its status as a tax haven and its thriving tourism and financial industries, so for the future, “It has become clear that governments around the world are planning to raise taxes disproportionately on their higher net worth citizens in order to fund their social programmes, says Graham. “This is driving ever higher levels of interest in Monaco as families look to preserve wealth while also moving to a stable and secure home. With its proven track record of property appreciation over many years, Monaco will continue to attract more potential residents than there are homes available so anyone willing to take a five- to ten-year view is likely to see a significant return on their investment.”

Spain

The luxury property market in Spain has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by a combination of factors including a favourable climate, a rich cultural heritage, and a growing economy. The country is home to a number of highly sought-after destinations, including the Costa del Sol, the Balearic Islands, and the Costa Brava, each offering a unique combination of natural beauty, luxury amenities, and worldclass entertainment.

Constanza Maya, Head of Operations & Expansion of Engel & Völkers Spain, Portugal & Andorra states: “Spain is without a doubt a great place to invest for many reasons but mainly because it is one of the safest countries thanks to the legal certainty provided by public servants such as notaries and registrars. Legislation not only fulfils European principles and legislation but also is stricter in relation to registry and protection of the owners and buyers due to the traditional concept of having a home as one of the most important milestones in people’s mindset.

“From a personal or family perspective there is an excellent communication network by all transport means (planes, car, fast trains) and Monaco is a relatively small country so you can travel from one point to another easily. There are many educational options available in public or private schools and universities and the social and sanitary system is one of the most well-known worldwide, even considered the second best one after Japan.

“Its great locations, gastronomy and traditions makes it perfect for people of all ages and moreover for digital nomads. Finally, investing in Spain is cheaper compared to other

countries in Europe and there is a scarce offer of properties to be rented in big cities.”

The demand for luxury properties in Spain is centred around three locations, according to Carmen de Arriaga, Chief Marketing Officer, Costa del Sol, Affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. “The first is the so-called Golden Mile and the surrounding urbanisations. The second is the western area of Marbella - here the properties in Puerto Banus and Nueva Andalucía stand out, and thirdly, the properties that extend towards the mountains of Marbella in the municipality of Benahavís. Here you’ll find important luxury urbanisations around the exclusive Villa Padierna Hotel, such as Los Flamingos and La Zagaleta.”

The budget required to purchase a luxury property in Spain can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including location, size, and amenities. “To buy a nice cosy property you need around 500,000 euros, but luxury properties in Madrid, Marbella can reach up to 5 million euros, and in Mallorca, up to 10 million euros,” says Constanza. “Regarding rentals, a good apartment can be rented for around 2,000 to 10,000 euros for a sumptuous property,” she continues.

There are a number of requirements for foreigners purchasing property in Spain, Constanza details… “It will always depend on the customers wishes and interest but as a foreigner mortgage can only be of up to 60 percent of the total amount of the property value and they'll need to have de NIE (national document) and a bank account in Spain. Real estate agencies charge around 5 percent of the price and there are taxes of around 10-15 percent of the property price.

“In relation to rentals, it is common for clients to pay for the real estate agency commission and it is compulsory to have at least one extra monthly instalment deposited although owners usually ask for an extra monthly instalment as a guarantee when returning the property, to make sure it is given back in the same conditions as received. All types of rentals have specific regulations and requirements but are easy and do not require big administrative processes although it is easier when a real estate agency expert helps with the contracts and requirements. ”

Spain also offers a wide range of activities and attractions for residents to enjoy. According to Carmen de Arriaga, “Spas such as Villa Padierna Spa, YHI Spa Meliá La Quinta Marbella, Thalasso Spa Hotel Marbella Club or Spa Six Senses Marbella are top choices for those seeking restoration and relaxation.

“Restaurants such as Messina, El Lago, Skina, and Nintai are some of the most exclusive, but there are also restaurants that focus on local gastronomy including Taberna Gaspar, Lobito de Mar by Dani García or La niña del Pisto in the old town of Marbella.”

The property market in Spain will continue to remain strong, with international buyers and investors from across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond attracted to the country's favourable climate, strong economy, and favourable exchange rates.

Turkey

Turkey ’s luxury property market has seen significant growth in recent years, with demand for highend homes and holiday homes rising among both domestic and international buyers. Turkey also has a diverse range of landscapes, from rolling hills and fertile valleys to snow-capped mountains and pristine beaches. This creates a breathtaking array of scenery and makes it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. It also has a rich cultural heritage, with a history that spans thousands of years. From ancient ruins and medieval castles to Ottoman palaces and modern museums, there is a wealth of cultural attractions to discover.

Irina Alazova, CEO, Mercury Group Ltd., who is well versed in Turkey’s real estate market says, “Among the main advantages of the Turkish real estate market are factors such as full protection of property rights for foreigners, constant development of regions, loyal and even friendly attitude towards foreign buyers, climate, product quality, visa-free regime, and cheap citizenship.

“Over the past year, the Turkish real estate market has shown steady growth, which allows investors to count on serious returns. First of all, we advise buying in the early stages of construction. However, you can invest not only in Turkish residential real estate, but also in commercial premises with tenants.”

Turkey is also home to many beautiful and outstanding cities, each with its own unique history, culture, and attractions. According to Irina, the best cities to live and invest in are “Antalya, Alanya, Istanbul, Bodrum, Bursa, Fethiye, Mahmutlar, and Mersin.

“Over the past year, the Turkish real estate market has shown steady growth, which allows investors to count on serious returns.”

“Turkey allows foreigners to buy property from a majority of countries. An investor can buy any real estate, resale or new building, residential or commercial, a share in project under construction or a land plot. But if the investor plans to obtain Turkish citizenship, he cannot buy property that has already been used to participate in the program.

“Depending on the purpose of the buyer, he/she can choose land for his/her own residence, renting out or participating in the citizenship investment program.

“However, there are restrictions on the purchase of real estate for citizens of some countries. For example, foreigners will not be able to buy real estate on the Black Sea coast or near military installations. Also, foreigners are prohibited from buying land plots with an area exceeding 30 hectares, or 300,000m².”

“When it comes to popular places, one of the best resort hotels in the world is D Maris Bay. The hotel is located in a secluded bay on the Datca Peninsula near the city of Marmaris, where the waves of the Aegean Sea meet the Mediterranean. The hotel is located in a nature reserve, on a hill surrounded by pine and eucalyptus forests, lush gardens and a bay with five beaches.

“If you are in Istanbul, be sure to visit the Nusr-et Steakhouse restaurant. Many have heard of this restaurant chain, which was originally opened in Istanbul in 2010 by Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe. His recognisable gesture, which he makes when he salts when serving steaks, has earned him the nickname Salt Bae.”

Mixed-use development

With construction underway in one of the most prestigious areas of Istanbul, Nisantasi, investors can expect 62 apartments, 99 office premises, as well as a hotel with 146 rooms, a shopping centre, and parking for 600 cars.

Rich cultural experiences, diverse landscapes, and beautiful properties await in Indonesia and Thailand

Indonesia

From the glittering beaches and crystal-clear waters of Bali to the bustling streets of Jakarta and the mist-shrouded temples of Borobudur, Indonesia offers a wealth of experiences waiting to be discovered.

But what makes this location ideal for property investors? Valeria Kolotyrkina, Real Estate Consultant for Mercury Group Ltd explains, “The interest in real estate on Bali is due to Indonesia being recognised as one of the fastest developing countries in the world. According to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts, Indonesia will become the world's fifth largest economy by 2024. The investment attraction of Bali is primarily due to investments in real estate bringing a return that is 2-2.5 times higher than the global average. Quality offers on the island of Bali yield 12-15% annual returns, while the average real estate yield globally is 5%.

“South Kuta, Seminyak and Ubud are the most popular and attractive areas for investments in Bali, known for their beautiful beaches, developed infrastructure and high demand for real estate. These areas have many luxurious hotels and resort complexes, as well as a high standard of living. Investors can find both residential and rental properties here. Our secondary market research has revealed a significant trend in sales of luxury villas, driven by internal buyers from Jakarta and Surabaya. The

deals were mixed, mostly between high-end properties in Greater Canggu at average prices and South Bali (Jimbaran/Uluwatu) at premium prices.

“The budget required to rent or purchase a two-bedroom property on Bali depends on various factors such as location, quality, and size of the property, as well as demand in the area. In most popular areas near the airport, rental and purchase prices can be high, while in other areas they may be more affordable. In general, the budget required to rent or purchase a two-bedroom property on Bali can range from several hundred

thousand to several million dollars. Most villas in Southern Bali (Jimbaran/Uluwatu) belong to the luxury real estate market and are priced higher than average. The cost of a two-bedroom villa with a good location starts from $450,000. Prices for newly built apartments range from $2000 to $6000 per sq. m., while built apartments range from $4000 per sq. m.

“There are certain laws and regulations to be followed when purchasing or renting real estate in Bali. For example, foreign citizens are only allowed to purchase certain types of properties such as houses and condominiums, but not allowed

to purchase land plots. There are also restrictions on ownership of properties in certain areas.

“Indonesia, particularly Bali, is one of the world’s top tourist destinations, offering numerous opportunities for relaxation and leisure: world-renowned resort and hotel brands such as Ritz-Carlton, Raffles, and Four Seasons (located in South Kuta/Jimbaran), world-famous beach clubs like Finns Beach Club, a diverse range of restaurants and bars featuring global cuisine styles from classic Indonesian to international, and a unique mix of global expats and locals with rich traditions bring cutting-edge dining concepts. Not to be missed are Sundara Beach Club from Four Seasons, Jimbaran white sand beach and surf and the fresh local fish BBQ on the beach.

“Indonesia is a great place for real estate investors because of its diverse climate, culture, and natural resources that attract many tourists. It is also a popular destination for wealthy investors as Indonesia has a stable economic development and rapidly growing infrastructure. The country boasts the largest nickel reserves in the world, approximately 21 million tons or around 30% of the world’s reserves. Near Jakarta, LG Energy Solution and Hyundai Motor Group are building the country’s first EV battery factory, while Hyundai is also constructing an EV manufacturing plant nearby. The G20 summit brought Indonesia $20 billion in investments and infrastructure improvements in Bali, with the central government contributing $52 million towards developing the island’s infrastructure. The island’s popularity is growing every year, breaking new records for visitors, and the never-ending “Bali trend” makes it one of the most attractive investment destinations in the world.”

Thailand

Thailand’s tropical forests, and rich cultural heritage, including ancient temples and palaces, traditional festivals, and delicious cuisine are a few of the reasons why the destination is so popular.

Tim Skevington, Managing Director for Richmont’s Thailand says that the destination is a fantastic location because “Its property purchasing procedures are clear and transparent and there are no restrictions on foreigners owning non-landed property whilst houses and villas can be held on a long leasehold basis. Thailand’s popularity as a tourist destination and South East Asia’s second largest economy make it a popular choice for property buyers looking for high-yielding investment properties. High net worth investors often buy first or secondary homes in Thailand to enjoy the lifestyle. When not in residence themselves, these investors, for example villa buyers in resort destinations, can make a healthy income from holiday lets.”

He continues: “Bangkok is without doubt the most popular location for foreign buyers. As the world’s most visited city, Bangkok has plenty to offer residents and it is the gateway to the country’s famed resort destinations. Plenty of buyers also head to all areas outside the capital, particularly to the southern islands of Phuket and Koh Samui, but also north to Chiang Mai. North East Thailand and certain beach locations such as Hua Hin and Pattaya are particularly popular among foreign retirees.”

According to Tatyana Artamonova, Real Estate Consultant for Mercury Group Ltd. there are two forms of property ownership for foreigners who want to make Thailand their home. “The two kinds are full ownership (freehold) and long-term

lease (leasehold),” says Tatyana. “Any foreigner can register a house or apartment in full ownership, and land - only in a long-term lease for 30 years with the possibility of a two-time extension for 30 years, up to 90 years in total.

“In Thailand, apartment buildings have several statuses: condominium or apartments. If the status of the building is apartments, then all apartments in it can only be rented by foreigners

“For freehold ownership, you can register an apartment only in a condominium, the common territory of the complex with all the infrastructure (pool, garden, etc.) is in joint shared ownership. For example, a condominium developer has the right to sell 49% of the residential area of an apartment building to foreign individuals in full ownership. If a foreigner does not have time to purchase real estate from a quota of 49%, then a foreigner can lease an apartment from the remaining 51% of the living area of the condominium.”

Tim Skevington adds, “The choice of property for rent in Thailand is huge, and caters to all budgets. As you might expect, the higher rental prices are generally to be found in the capital, Bangkok. Prices for a two-bedroom condominium for rent range from around THB 40,000 per month in a modern building on Sukhumvit Road to THB 160,000 per month at the Ritz-Carlton Residences in the CBD.

“Thailand is already a luxury property haven and home to numerous HNWIs. Looking ahead, the country will undoubtedly increase its appeal as more and more luxury developments are opened, particularly branded residences which are especially popular in Bangkok and spreading to resort destinations, too.”
