The Pensacola Castle

$2,777,000

If you have a heart that understands beauty, the knowledge of ‘bygone years’ craftsmanship; the need to exist within the walls of timeless style; the purest materials, such as solid white oak, mahogany, leaded glass, and marble, all surrounded by live oaks, which began to grow some 500 years ago, on gracing spacious lawns and carefully curated gardens on a high hill; than this is your home. It simply has no equal. It truly is an irreplaceable masterpiece.

Nearly 100 years ago, ‘the castle’ was built by the skilled hands of craftsmen who came from Europe. They built with materials, which also came from Europe and islands beyond the seas. The exterior of the home and some of the interior walls are solid granite. The attic floors, ceiling and beefy beams are all of solid mahogany. The dining room ceiling is a work of art.

In 2012, the whole house was exquisitely transformed. The owners added a three- car garage, with a fully equipped guesthouse above, and the convenience of a generator. The best part of this undertaking was a full remodeling and updating of the main, including plumbing, electrical systems, and all the ‘high-end’ finishings. The kitchen contains top-ofthe-line EVERYTHING. The carriage-way became the enclosed front entrance, with a soaring ceiling surrounded by windows which welcome the sunlight from all sides.

The gorgeous original windows welcome the light into every room, and they provide a lovely frame for the historic oaks and many mature trees, as well as the new 50-foot lap pool with fountains which the current owners added. One may enter this secret garden space through a pair of stately iron gates

The 1-plus-acre-sized property enjoys an impressive elevation and sits within a small circle, where traffic is minimum, privacy and safety is maximum, and peaceful tranquility can be blissfully lived. This home cannot be fully described in this short space of text, book your appointment to see the home in person or by video tour today!

EDITORS’ LETTER

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end...”

It’s the end of an era here at Unique Homes. After more than 30 years, there has been a changing of the guard, and I am passing the reins to our new editor, Kristen Ordonez.

We have worked together for many years, and she has a true passion and dedication to all things unique.

The truly wonderful thing about any ending is that it also signals a new beginning. Unique Homes is going through a transformation, and I can’t wait to see where Kristen and this special team take things as we head into our 54th year. I’ve loved being a part of this story.

All the best,

My experience at Unique Homes has been a whirlwind. From entering the world of luxury real estate as a young writer many years ago, to now — in what seems like a natural evolution — moving from writer to editor. My metaphorical blood, sweat and tears swirls into the ink that prints on every page. What more could one journalist ask for?

For now, I simply ask for a chance to say thank you. Thanks to Kathleen for guiding me up the mountainside that is publishing. Thanks to our dedicated team, both past and present, who work above and beyond — you have helped create our 53-year, world-class legacy. And thanks to our readers, for being or traveling with us on this journey so far! There is so much more to come.

In this issue, our feature story, “Global Glamour,” kicks things off by connecting with industry agents who cater to clients both in the U.S. and abroad — from the wave-crested shores of Sydney to France’s Loire Valley, the ‘Valley of a Thousand Châteaux. Another standout locale we take you to is South Tyrol. This Italian province is home to OLM Nature Escape, an eco-aparthotel that is too good to spoil here. Check out the story on page 115, and you’ll find that this place is indeed “unique, extraordinary and special.”

I hope you have enjoyed the multiple new editorial series our team has had the greatest pleasure showcasing throughout 2024. From the continuation of Unique Discoveries to Unique Location, to our newest section, Local & Luxury, where we highlight some truly unexpected locales with intriguing indulgences. Our Discoveries this issue include a curated collection of priceless gifts (see page 116). As we close out 2024 and head into the holiday season, my gift to you is the promise of change and all of the exciting elements and items to come. Until next time …

By Jack Boles

Gracing the cover of Unique Homes this fall is a truly magical estate in the heart of lower Bel Air. Spanning 13,626 square feet, this expansive Los Angeles residence is a pinnacle of elegance and fine luxury living: 252 Saint Pierre Road.

We spoke with REALTOR® David Rothblum of RE/MAX ONE about this unforgettable listing. He shared, “It is the best of Southern California living with easy access to everything the Westside has to offer, including prestigious schools, the city’s best shopping, and fine dining.”

While the location is excellent, the property is simply breathtaking. It features eight grand bedrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a chef’s kitchen, and an exquisite entryway featuring a grand Calcutta staircase and a rotunda. According to Rothblum, “The finishes really shine in this property. From the stunning wood-paneled library to the chef’s kitchen and impressive primary suite, it reflects sophistication at every turn.”

A balcony from the primary suite offers magnificent views of the hills of Bel Air, as well as the spectacular property. The grounds are truly impressive and include a swimming pool, gardens, and a barbecue area that’s perfect for entertaining. Rothblum draws particular attention to the backyard, adding that it “evokes the essence of a world-class resort right in the heart of LA and offers an unparalleled experience in luxury and tranquility.”

We are privileged to present 252 Saint Pierre Road in this edition of Unique Homes, as well as the opportunity to share it with a wide variety of potential buyers. “International and domestic buyers alike will be drawn to the privacy and exclusivity,” says Rothblum. “A buyer looking for top-tier amenities will also appreciate the area’s serene environment, beautiful views, and sense of community.”

Offered at $22,000,000.

GLOBAL GLAMOUR

With luxury lifestyles unconstrained by international borders, there have never been greater opportunities for adventurous buyers and investors. By Roger Grody

The world may be shrinking, but the international luxury market is ever-expanding. While foreign buyers continue to invest in high-end properties in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, American buyers continue discovering luxury markets around the globe. Fueled by maturing economies, rich cultures, and spectacular environments, there are diverse international frontiers for luxury buyers.

In major cities throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, there are robust luxury real estate markets, even in places where free enterprise has not always been a foundational principle. Bob Hurwitz, founder and CEO of Hurwitz James Company, a global luxury real estate firm headquartered in Beverly Hills, estimates that more than 60 percent of wealthy Americans already own foreign properties. Hurwitz, who represents both American and foreign buyers, maintains that investment motivations are diverse and transcend economics. “For properties that aren’t priced in the stratosphere, it’s often a combination of the desire to invest in a different country and enjoy an appealing lifestyle, usually at a significant discount

to something similar in the States,” he says. Hurwitz explains that most ultra-wealthy individuals still work, and being able to do so remotely makes living overseas a seamless proposition. “For pricey trophy properties, there’s yet another dynamic and that’s the cachet of owning a showplace as one of your assets,” says Hurwitz. Among his company’s current listings — one truly representative of that rarefied real estate category — is a sprawling Swiss castle near Lake Geneva, offered at approximately $58.5 million. “It’s an amazing estate, once owned by the Italian royal family and built in 1625,” reports Hurwitz. Paris’ combination of world-class architecture and refined culture can result in staggering real estate prices. As a result, some buyers — 12,000 Americans moved to France in 2023 — are exploring properties in the countryside. Lorraine Gemigniani of San Francisco Bay Area-based Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties now resides in the Loire Valley and specializes in luxury French real estate. Illustrating the nation’s affordability (outside of Paris), the agent jests, “You can buy a petit château in the Loire Valley for $1 million, but could hardly find a

An Executive Welcome

I hope you have had an enjoyable summer and found plenty of time to relax, unwind, and soak up some sunny rays. Summers often feel transformative because they spark change— whether through new adventures, personal growth, or simply the luxury of time to reflect— making the transition to fall all the more thrilling. I’m eager to see what lies ahead.

In our last issue, we celebrated Prestige magazine’s 10-year anniversary, and I’d like to once again thank our dedicated readers for being part of this milestone. But we never rest on our laurels: we’re back with another richly curated edition, designed to inspire, motivate, and captivate you with the stories and insights throughout these pages.

You may well have noticed the surge in pickleball courts and enthusiasts over the past year or so—a reflection of the sport’s skyrocketing popularity nationwide. With its mix of accessibility and social appeal, the sport is fast becoming a favorite among high-end communities. Head to page 8 to be served an analysis of why this trend is capturing the attention of luxury homeowners.

For epicureans who appreciate fine art—and art aficionados who value an exquisite meal— we dive into the trend of high-end restaurants utilizing art masterpieces to complement their gourmet offerings on page 2. Meanwhile, on page 53, technophiles will be impressed by the latest innovations top hotels are implementing to enhance comfort and curate the perfect guest experience.

As always, this issue also whisks us away to some captivating locales: on page 86 explore the idyllic Lake Maggiore on the border of Italy and Switzerland. Closer to home, we check in on two buzzing U.S. markets, Park City, Utah, and Key West, Florida, on pages 76 and 16 respectively.

And don’t miss page 72, where we uncover the latest trends in luxury rugs, revealing the materials, tones, shapes, and patterns adorning luxury homes this year.

Wishing you all the best this fall. See you on the pickleball court!

FINE DINING FINE ART

By Roger Grody

The restaurant setsitselfapartby seamlesslyblending finediningwith a world-class art experience.”

GregWalker, ManagingDirectorof Tavistock Restaurant Collection

At an increasing number of high-end restaurants, artistry on the plate is complemented by masterpieces on the walls.

The most memorable dining involves all the senses, and artistic impressions on the plate are frequently paired not only with great wines, but with world-class paintings or sculptures as well. Showcasing art heightens the dining experience and some restaurants known for their culinary arts double as art galleries.

At New York’s Le Bernardin, Chef/Co-Owner Eric Ripert’s seafood-centric compositions have earned every imaginable accolade, including a rarefied trio of Michelin stars. As part of Le Bernardin’s 2011 renovation, a 24-foot-long triptych oil painting, Deep Water No. 1 by Ran Ortner, was installed. The formidable seascape brings energy to the room while helping define the sense of purpose. “Art is very important to a guest’s overall dining experience. It has the power to transform the atmosphere of a room, instilling an emotional response,” said Ripert. Addressing the Ortner piece specifically, he said, “It sets the mood for guests who come from the hectic city into the soothing marine atmosphere of Le Bernardin.”

Pao by Paul Qui, located at the glamorous Faena Hotel in Miami Beach, gets high marks for globally eclectic dishes, such as uni with corn pudding and sake aioli or Wagyu short rib with red curry. Pao is also known for chic designs and provocative art. Most notable is Damien Hirst’s “Golden Myth,” a towering bronze and gold-leaf unicorn in the center of the dining room beneath a domed ceiling. The sculpture explores the boundaries between legend and reality, and it is a tribute to the power of imagination that inspires Qui’s culinary musings.

In Atlanta, tucked into the stony St. Regis Hotel, Atlas is among five restaurants in the city to be honored with a Michelin star. Enhancing the enjoyment of Chef Freddy Money’s imaginative contemporary American cuisine, Atlas features art from the Lewis Collection, one of the most impressive private art collections in the world. The exhibit rotates regularly—pieces by Picasso, Van Gogh, and Chagall have appeared—and the restaurant currently showcases works by renowned Japanese-born painter and printmaker Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita. “Atlas elevates the dining experience by integrating art into its core identity,” said Greg Walker, Managing Director of Tavistock Restaurant Collection. He added, “The restaurant sets itself apart by seamlessly blending fine dining with a world-class art experience.”

The Peninsula is a Beverly Hills hotel acclaimed for its art collection, as well as its celebrity clientele. Its fine dining restaurant, The Belvedere, features contemporary artwork from Yayoi Kusama, Alex Katz, and Sean Scully. The dining room’s signature artistic statement is a multi-panel piece by French artist Fabienne Verdier, and an iconic Robert Indiana sculpture anchors the terrace. “As an artist brings a canvas to life with each brushstroke, we craft our dishes with the same precision and passion,” reported Executive Chef Ralf Schlegel, who added, “The art that adorns our walls serves as daily inspiration.”

In New York’s West Village, a neighborhood filled with art galleries, Chef/Owner Kurt Gutenbrunner presents classics from his native Austria at Wallsé, but contemporary elements enliven the menu. In addition to its highly respected cuisine, the restaurant showcases art from Hermann Nitsch, Julian Schnabel, and filmmaker Gus Van Sant. “It’s not just about food and wine, but the entire experience,” explained Gutenbrunner, evoking the German term gesamtkunstwerk (“total piece of art”) to illuminate the concept. Gutenbrunner reports the art that resonates with him has little to do with his Austrian cuisine or heritage. “It’s about personality more than nationality,” he quipped.

HOME COURT ADVANTAGE

Pickleball

peaks as the fastest-growing sport and these luxury homes are serving up aces with at-home courts.

Whatwe’reseeingin mostoftheLasVegas luxuryhomemarket are clubhouses convertingtheir tennis courts into pickleballcourts.”

JohnConnolly, RealEstateAgentwith BerkshireHathaway HomeServices NevadaProperties

In the Hamptons, pickleball games paired with après social activities are invitations that active residents sincerely appreciate. East Hampton homeowner Jen Shufro, along with her husband Greg, recently converted their tennis court into two pickleball courts. “Last year, after a skiing accident, I had no backhand for tennis, so I decided to take up pickleball and started inviting friends over to play,” Shufro recalled. “Now, we have so much demand to join our games that it’s become a huge social event for us.”

Stories such as this are becoming more common in the luxury realm, which helps explain pickleball’s unprecedented growth. In 2023, there were an estimated 48.3 million pickleball players in the United States, according to the Association of Pickleball Professionals. The Sports & Fitness Industry Association reports that participation in pickleball has increased by an average of 223.5% over the last three years.

For the Shufros, they’re making the most of their at-home court with women’s games on Mondays and Wednesdays, and weekly after-work men’s games followed by a friendly dinner. Sundays also bring couples together for pickleball and socializing. “When it was a tennis court, it was hard to get people over to play,” Shufro claimed, noting the prominent change after converting the courts. Over the last 18 months, Emmett Laffey at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty, who markets luxury properties from Manhattan across Long Island’s North Shore to the Hamptons, has noticed more and more luxury clients building pickleball courts in place of tennis.

The sport is also gaining traction with a younger demographic; the Shufro’s two sons, both in their early 20s, also utilize the home courts with friends.

John and Montyne Connolly, Real Estate Agents with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties in Las Vegas, are avid pickleball enthusiasts. In addition to selling Las Vegas properties with pickleball as an amenity, the couple are IPTPA-certified as pickleball instructors, level one. “What we’re seeing in most of the Las Vegas luxury home market are clubhouses converting their tennis courts into pickleball courts,” noted John. Montyne agreed, “Homeowners with private courts are resurfacing them to play both tennis and pickleball, while buyers are looking for courts nearby or in private community courts within their subdivisions.”

Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas is also paying attention to the burgeoning sport. This active adult community, offering resort-style living and amenities, includes pickleball courts, a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, fitness center, bocce, outdoor resort and lap pools, spa, and walking trails—not a tennis court in sight.

Considering that four pickleball courts can fit on one regulation tennis court, the logistical side of the investment makes sense. Today, one former tennis court can accommodate up to 16 people playing doubles in a pickleball game. Talk about expanding your social group. New luxury communities in Las Vegas are adding pickleball over tennis courts to supply residents with an in-demand amenity and also battle space restrictions.

The serve is a crucial part of pickleball.

Seymour Rifkind, Founder and President of the World Pickleball Federation (WPF) and the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA), knows firsthand the sport’s growing popularity. “I travel extensively throughout the U.S. and the world, and I can corroborate that many of the most exclusive country clubs are adding pickleball courts.”

Heading to Massachusetts, Paul Grover, Co-Founder and Principal Broker of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties, reported that the sport is thriving. “Cape Cod has certainly felt the pickleball craze over the last few years. I have several clients who have added private courts to their properties.” Pickleball continues to attract luxury homebuyers. “This is most noticeable at resort communities and country clubs across Cape Cod, where pickleball courts have quickly become an expected amenity that helps draw homebuyers looking to embrace an active, outdoor lifestyle,” Grover said.

The Lakes Country Club in Palm Desert, California (about 12 miles east of Palm Springs), has an active pickleball program. When The Lakes undertook a major remodel, including its Racquet Center, they reduced three of the 15 tennis courts, replacing them with nine pickleball courts. “I see pickleball growing every year in every way,” said Donny Felich, Director of Racquet Sports at The Lakes Country Club. “We’re also seeing a younger demographic taking a liking to the game.” Play at The Lakes involves daily games, tournaments, and numerous social events.

The trend is also making an appearance in the high-end residential market in Atlanta, according to Ta’Tisha Gibbs, Vice President of Marketing, Luxury Collection, for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. “In the metro Atlanta area, the luxury home market is embracing the popularity of pickleball. Many high-end properties are incorporating pickleball courts as a desirable amenity,” said Gibbs. “This trend is driven by the growing interest in the sport among affluent buyers, who view it as a fun and social activity that complements their lifestyle,” she added, providing insight into the mindset of affluent Atlanta buyers.

In Naples, Florida, Amy Potter, Sales Associate at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty, reported, “Pickleball courts are in high demand. Communities are converting courts and lighting them so people can play late into the evening.”

In 2025, Naples will host the Minto U.S. Open Pickleball Championships. Last year, over 3,250 people competed in this international tournament, ranging in age from eight to 88. A strong turnout is expected—according to Pickleball Communities Florida, Naples has 35 luxury communities boasting courts to accommodate the growing interest.

The economics of pickleball make good sense. Ned Kaplan, Owner of Court Order, Inc., has 39 years of experience in tennis court construction and maintenance, as well as basketball, bocce, and pickleball courts around the Hamptons and across Long Island’s Nassau County. “In the last two to three years, I’ve been doing more tennis court to pickleball conversions,” he said. “I’ve done about 25 this year, so far.” According to Kaplan, building a new pickleball court costs around $35,000, which is about one-third less than the cost of constructing a tennis court.

In the last two to three years,I’vebeendoing more tennis court to pickleballconversions. I’ve done about 25 this year,sofar.”

NedKaplan, Owner of Court Order, Inc.

Pickleball’s popularity is evident and other fitness organizations are recognizing the importance of the physical aspects of the game. Club Pilates, with a network of over 600 studios nationwide, hosted a summer (indoor) “50-minute Pilates for Pickleball Workshop” in Palm Springs. The purpose was to improve your alignment, balance, stability, and rotation of the spine—all essential for your pickleball practice, according to Club Pilates.

Celebrities have also taken a liking to the now-famed sport. Actor Vince Vaughn recently became the new majority owner of the Palm Springs-based Coachella Valley Scorpions, a 50-and-over pro pickleball team. Coachella Valley is home to one of 12 teams in the National Pickleball League and pickleball courts are found throughout the area.

IN FOCUS

Welcome to Key West, Florida, the most southern point in the United States and about 90 air miles from Cuba. Ernest Hemingway and Jimmy Buffet both called Key West home—and it’s easy to see why. Often referred to as “The Conch Republic,” Key West’s colorful collection of hotels, eclectic restaurants, lively music scene, and vibrant arts community create an unforgettable experience.

“Many visitors have turned into homeowners, often sharing heartwarming stories of coming here since they were kids,” noted Will Langley, Owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Keys Real Estate. “They experience the magic that transforms a visit into a lifelong love affair with our island chain.” Thirty years ago, David Grober, an Academy Award-winning Maritime Coordinator for film and television, came to Key West to work on ocean sequences and then purchased a condominium. “I decided I liked it here for many reasons, including the small-town feel, which Key West still has,” he said.

Dine

Choices abound in Key West’s dining scene. For a Gulf of Mexico dining experience, make a reservation at Latitudes at Sunset Key Cottages on Sunset Key. The Key West Pink Shrimp Carbonara is legendary. As a local,

By Ellen Paris

Langley recommends “a lowkey dinner or great lunch with fun entertainment in the courtyard” at Garbo’s Grill.

Stay

Casa Marina, Curio Collection by Hilton recently underwent a $79 million renovation. Listed on the National Register for Historic Places, this timeless landmark is home to Key West’s largest private beach. Visitors can enjoy curated water sports, five dining destinations, a spa, and two swimming pools.

Play

“The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory is awesome,” Langley reported. A climate-controlled glass-enclosed habitat is home to 50 to 60 butterfly species. “If you have a full day, going to Dry Tortugas is a bucket list kind of thing by boat or seaplane.”

Relax

Locals confirm that Fort Zachary Taylor Beach is one of Key West’s finest destinations, where you can swim, snorkel, or relax on the white sand. Visitors should also indulge at The Spa at Sunset Key (a brief boat ride from Key West) at Sunset Sea Cottages. The Quenching Aloe Wrap or the Signature Bliss Journey treatments are a must for relaxation.

SMART STAYS

By Roger Grody

Technology not only makes hotel guests more comfortable but also allows greater control when customizing their experiences.

Many advances currently being promoted by residential developers—smart home technologies that control locks, lighting, and entertainment from the touch of a cell phone— are being more rapidly adopted by hotels. A suite of technologies, from using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict guest preferences to deploying super-fast Wi-Fi 6, are becoming standard in the hospitality industry. Some technologies increase efficiencies behind the scenes while others, such as contactless check-in and super-thin (“wallpaper”) TVs, enhance the guest experience.

Above: Twilight views of ARIA Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa.

A poll commissioned by Mews, a leading hospitality technology platform, reveals that increasing numbers of travelers favor advances like keyless entry and in-room smart tablets. For instance, more than 40% prefer to check in via a hotel’s website or app, and nearly 80% reported they would not object to a completely automated front desk. “The most innovative hotels are moving away from a room-centric vision of hospitality into one which embraces experiences,” said Mews Founder Richard Valtr. Suggesting technology seamlessly connects guests to their passions, he added, “We love it when hotels use technology to create immersive and truly remarkable guest experiences.” In response to the findings, Ryan Krukar, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Gravity Haus, a collection of membership lodges in the Rockies, said, “Technology empowers our customer service teams to create unique ‘excite and delight’ opportunities for guests, resulting in lifelong memories.”

Located in Orlando, Florida, the Lake Nona Wave Hotel is an exceptional example of technology-driven hospitality. The sleek, gently curved tower is wrapped in soothing blue glass that uses AI to dynamically adjust to sunlight, blocking unwanted ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Consistent with its emphasis on well-being, Lake Nona Wave’s 234 guestrooms feature voice-automated controls and restorative beds that improve sleep quality through AI-enabled functions tailored to each guest. The hotel is so tech-savvy that it once experimented with a robotic butler named Rosie—an homage to the automated housekeeper in the futuristic, 1960s Jetsons television series—that delivered cocktails to guests in the lobby.

We’ve streamlined ourcheck-inprocess to allow mobile room keysandoffertext communications leadinguptoand duringguests’stays, sotheyalwayshave first-classconcierge services.”

Jennifer Curtin, GeneralManager The Beatrice Providence, Rhode Island

The Wave app enables keyless check-in for guests who wish to skip the reception desk and head directly to their rooms. Providing information about hotel services and events, the app also controls room temperature, lighting, window curtains, and entertainment options. “Lake Nona Wave Hotel is continuously adding high-tech updates to maintain its reputation as one of the nation’s most technologically advanced hotels,” said Director of Sales and Marketing James Tattersall. “Travelers can also tap into the future by riding Beep, a network of autonomous vehicles, to dining destinations around the community,” he added. Addressing the reception to these advances, Tattersall reports, “Guests really value how technology is organically woven into their experience.”

Many technology-forward hotels are funky properties—Hotel Zetta in San Francisco and Yotel in New York are among them—that cater to a youthful clientele comfortable with digitized environments. However, high-end properties also participate in this movement to enhance operating efficiency and guest satisfaction. The Peninsula, one of the premier luxury brands in the world, has equipped its Tokyo hotel with technological advances that elevate comfort. For example, a guest can create the perfect mood through lighting and music, chat on a hands-free phone, or watch a steam-free flat-screen TV, all while luxuriating in one of The Peninsula’s signature spa-like deep-soaking tubs.

The Sinclair Hotel in downtown Fort Worth, Texas—the Art Deco landmark is part of Marriott’s distinctive Autograph Collection— uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to incorporate cutting-edge amenities like keyless entry, digital showers, and touchscreen mirrors into a 1930 structure that originally housed oil company offices. Another unlikely fusion of historic charm and technology is found at The Beatrice, a hotel whose 19th-century structure may not immediately scream modernity to passersby. A chic 46-room boutique property in Providence, Rhode Island, The Beatrice provides stateof-the-art ultraviolet air purification systems, keyless room entry, heated bidet toilets, and towel racks to complement the property’s traditional amenities. General Manager Jennifer Curtin reported that the hotel is

constantly seeking to innovate the guest experience. “We’ve streamlined our check-in process to allow mobile room keys and offer text communications leading up to and during guests’ stays, so they always have first-class concierge services,” said Curtin. The Beatrice’s “Be Rested” package includes Therabody SmartGoggles that provide personalized sleep-enhancing experiences.

The Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas allows express check-in from one’s cell phone— avoiding the city’s notoriously long reception lines is a blessing—and provides smart tablets in every room. From the tablet, a guest can schedule room service, spa treatments, or show tickets and, in theory, one day be alerted to when a seat at a particular blackjack table becomes available. The device currently allows guests to sync a morning alarm with the opening of curtains, as well as regulate room temperature or adjust evening mood lighting to complement views of the Strip.

A short stroll from Seattle’s Pike Place Market is Hotel 1000, where technology is fully embedded in the guest experience. Infrared presence-sensing technology alerts housekeeping when guests have left their rooms, eliminating interruptions, and visitors can digitally connect to hotel services. After a day of sightseeing or business meetings, guests can go online to book an in-room spa experience. A “spa butler” then prepares an indulgent bath—with optional champagne and caviar—or arranges a massage at the hotel’s full-service spa.

UNRAVELING MODERN RUG TRENDS

By Marlene Ridgway

A standard addition to any room, rugs are functional and fashionable in luxury homes. Here’s what’s on the horizon in terms of materials, color palettes, textures, and more.

More than just a practical piece, rugs are yet another statement of style in the home, with individual personality, and an emphasis on sustainability. This year, high-end brands are unveiling collections that are as innovative as they are beautiful, offering a tread-boldly outlook on luxury home decor.

Embracing Earthy Tones and Organic Materials

The Rise of Round Rugs and Playful Whimsy

Experts are also embracing whimsical shapes and playful designs this year. Round rugs are making a big comeback, breaking away from the traditional rectangular format. These circular designs bring a sense of movement and softness to a room, making them perfect for adding a unique touch to living rooms, bedrooms, and even dining areas.

Fasciani shared her insights on how texture and shape are defining luxury rugs at STARK. “We’re seeing growth in the types of materials being used, such as metal threads combined with silk, creating a striking visual and tactile contrast.” The introduction of metal is unexpected in rugs and certainly turns heads. “Our Missoni Deep Stripe and STARK Kamaria rugs exemplify this trend, pairing metallic elements with soft textures for a luxurious yet playful effect,” added Fasciani.

Classic Patterns, Reimagined

We’reseeinggrowthin thetypesofmaterials beingused,such as metal threads combined with silk, creatingastriking visual and tactile contrast.”

Rachel Fasciani, BrandMarketingSpecialist at STARK

One of the most prominent trends in rugs has been the shift towards earthy tones and natural materials. Filipa Mendonça, a Product Designer at Caffe Latte Home, spoke to what the industry has seen over the past year. “We saw a blend of comfort, innovation, and sustainability in rug trends,” she said. “This year, the focus on sustainability has deepened, with a surge in the use of organic fibers like jute, bamboo silk, and organic cotton.” These natural materials not only contribute to an eco-friendly home, but also bring a warm, grounded feel to any space.

The color palettes of these rugs mirror their natural origins. Expect to see an array of browns, beiges, and grays dominating the scene, offering a versatile foundation for any room. However, this year’s collections are far from monotonous. Mendonça believes jewel tones like deep blues, emerald greens, and rich burgundies are being used as vibrant accents, creating a dynamic contrast that is both luxurious and inviting. Rachel Fasciani, Brand Marketing Specialist at STARK, agrees, adding, “We’re seeing a strong preference for warm beiges, soft grays, and earthy tones, punctuated by bold colors like deep indigo and terracotta.”

While innovation drives much of the design industry, there is also a resurgence of classic patterns, albeit with a modern twist. Traditional motifs are being reimagined in contemporary color schemes, merging the old with the new. STARK’s Antique Reimagined collection is a prime example, offering timeless designs, such as vintage Persian and Moroccan elements in updated hues that feel fresh yet familiar.

The concept is also apparent in the Eichholtz Evans Rug offered by Sweetpea & Willows. Traditional colors such as black and beige are perfectly paired with geometric shapes. Yet the piece has an overall modern feel with plush textures and clean lines.

Customization and Personalization

In an era where individuality reigns supreme, the demand for bespoke rugs is at an all-time high. Both Caffe Latte and STARK representatives call attention to the importance of personalization in upcoming collections. “Consumers are increasingly seeking unique pieces that reflect their style and preferences,” said Mendonça. STARK echoes this sentiment, noting that their bespoke offerings allow clients to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful.

PARK CITY PARADISE

By Emily Jaeger

Dine

At Yuta, located in The Lodge At Blue Sky, guests savor sumptuous dishes crafted from hyperlocal ingredients, according to Mullin. Named after the Ute Tribe’s term for “mountain top,” Yuta offers a culinary experience that blends Utah’s diverse cultural heritage, including influences from Uto-Aztecan Native Americans, Eastern European settlers, and Chinese immigrants. Yuta’s menu features exquisite dishes like hiramasa crudo and elk chop.

Play

Why should you book a trip to Park City, Utah?

“It’s the best skiing there is on the planet, quite literally,” said Matt Mullin with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Utah Properties. For powderhounds, the world-class slopes alone are enough to entice. Yet, as Mullin revealed, Park City is more than just a skier’s paradise. With nearly 30 local art galleries, awardwinning luxury resorts, as well as cuisine and spas inspired by a fusion of Western and Ute Tribe culture, Park City offers an opulent adventure, both on and off the mountain.

Stay

The Goldener Hirsch, named the No. 1 Resort Hotel in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure, combines a charming Bavarian-inspired inn with sleek modern residences designed by awardwinning architect Tom Kundig. Nestled midmountain at Deer Valley Resort, “It’s just steps from the ski lifts and offers immediate access to nearly 70 miles of mountain biking trails and Park City’s 400-mile trail system,” said Mullin.

“Deer Valley, the world’s number one ski resort, is set to double its skiable terrain over the next two ski seasons,” said Mullin. Adding over 3,700 acres and 16 new lifts, Deer Valley will soon be one of North America’s largest ski resorts. Already the gold standard in skiing, Mullin noted that it offers superior customer service, impeccable snow grooming, and exclusive ski-only luxury. Guests can also hone their technique during exclusive half- and full-day training with Olympic snowsport athletes in residence.

Relax

For ultimate relaxation in Park City, Mullin recommended spending the day at Spa Montage Deer Valley. This alpine sanctuary provides rejuvenating treatments that harness the natural power of the mountain environment. The spa’s customized therapies, designed by highly trained therapists, address individual needs and promote deep relaxation after a day on the slopes or a long day of activities.

LAVISH LAKE MAGGIORE LUXURY

By Emily Jaeger

With its idyllic setting, this scenic location has become a coveted destination for luxury real estate buyers seeking summer homes, investment properties, and year-round residences.

Theluxuryvillas, especiallythosewith lakefront views, are verypopular,aswell asluxuryapartments andpenthouses withstunninglake views and modern comforts.”

Dr.

Marina Rizzotto, Founder and CEO of BerkshireHathaway HomeServices

Palazzo Estate

Nestled between Italy and Switzerland, Lake Maggiore is a gem of romantic allure and natural beauty. This exquisite region, renowned for its dramatic alpine vistas and charming towns adorned with FrenchItalian architecture, enjoys a mild climate year round that attracts both permanent residents and visitors. Here, one can find historic villas exuding timeless elegance alongside ultra-modern estates inspired by the latest Milanese designs.

Dr. Marina Rizzotto, Founder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate, has called Italy home for nearly 25 years and established her company in 2010. With a Ph.D. in International Economics, she brings a unique blend of market perspectives and economic expertise to the high-end real estate sector, complemented by an extensive network and a profound understanding of the Italian luxury market and what makes this area so desirable.

“Lake Maggiore is one of the most romantic and beautiful lakes in Italy,” said Rizzotto. “It is a popular destination for buyers because of its stunning natural beauty, mild climate, and rich cultural and historical attractions.” The lake hosts an array of water activities, including wakeboarding, windsurfing and yachting. Residents can enjoy hiking the Alps that surround the lake or wandering through the cobblestone streets and outdoor markets of charming lakeside towns like Stresa, Verbania, and Ascona. Dotted with elegant villas and verdant gardens, these towns offer a picturesque and serene lifestyle with ample room for adventure.

The lake also boasts some of the most enchanting architecture and gardens in the region, particularly on the Borromean Islands. Many of these islands remain in the hands of the original families who acquired them in the 16th and 17th centuries. The islands’ captivating beauty reflects a rich history of aristocratic grandeur. Isola Bella is distinguished by its baroque palazzo and terraced lakefront gardens, inhabited by white peacocks. Meanwhile, the lush and serene Isola Madre exudes an exotic ambiance, with its gardens of rare plants enveloping the entire island.

The region seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary luxury living while offering an array of world-class amenities. Stresa is home to Michelin-starred cuisine and opulent waterfront hotels, such as the Grand Hôtel des Iles Borromées. Illustrious restaurants like Ristorante Lo Stornello and Osteria Mercato elevate local ingredients with farm-fresh, seasonal offerings, allowing you to indulge in exquisite seafood and Mediterranean produce harmoniously blended with the warmth of Swiss cuisine, including fine cheeses, chestnuts, and artisanal sausages.

When it comes to high-demand luxury properties in the region, Rizzotto shared that buyers are extremely motivated by lakefront properties and views. She has seen owners who invested in properties turn a significant profit on resale, which, after five years of ownership, is not taxed according to Italian law. “Properties with private docks or beach access are particularly desirable. The luxury villas, especially those with lakefront views, are very popular, as well as luxury apartments and penthouses with stunning lake views and modern comforts,” noted Rizzotto.

Located on the former site of a flour mill in South Tyrol, OLM’s two-story concrete structure spans 45,200 square feet and is bordered by lush farmland and meadows.

“The first idea was to build something really special, not just another hotel,” says Stephanie Gastager, manager at ART Redaktionsteam, a PR agency for tourism and the hotel industry. “The vision was to create something you have never seen before, something innovative and new, and to link the rural region with a modern concept.”

Designed by architect Andreas Gruber, the hotel offers stunning views of the tranquil landscape at almost every turn. Each room, equipped with a kitchen and a patio or balcony, is designed to evoke the feel of a cabin, clad almost entirely in untreated larch wood for a warm, earthy ambiance. Many

rooms even feature a glass-enclosed sauna. At the heart of the hotel is a magnificent courtyard with a lap pool, a natural swimming pond, a mirrored outdoor sauna, and more.

Sustainability is a priority at OLM, underscored by a rooftop covered with 1,200 solar panels. “It’s the very first self-sufficient hotel in South Tyrol,” says Gastager. “What we do here is a combination of hydrodynamic power, photovoltaics, and geothermal energy.”

A stay at OLM is intended as a “meditative time-out,” with serenity and rejuvenation at the core of the experience. Sound healing sessions, a natural swimming pond, and a Kneipp path are just a few of the restorative offerings. No visit is complete without a meal at the hotel’s restaurant, Prenn°, which serves organic, locally sourced cuisine.

As a guest, there are no expectations other than to recharge and relax, whether you keep to your suite or choose to enjoy the amenities. Gastager explains, “The mission is to create a location for everyone who is seeking a place where you can simply be.”

Doing Good and Looking Even Better

Cesta handbags and totes have been celebrated in “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar,” but the brand’s story is as compelling as the designs. Each piece begins its journey in the hills of Rwanda, where talented female artisans weave sisal into baskets. The handcrafted process continues in Italy, where each basket is transformed into a handbag using traditional techniques. Founded by two fashion industry veterans, Cesta Collective also has a strong environmental story that inspires amidst this gifting season.

A Masterpiece Within a Masterpiece

For the ultimate in quiet luxury, escape to 1 Place Vendôme, Paris, an intimate boutique hotel in an 18th-century building that houses luxury jeweler Chopard. Bearing the name of a gemstone, each room or suite is exquisite, but the true masterpiece is a secret sanctuary showcasing a Winter Garden mosaic by Fantini Mosaici. Here, a captivating landscape of peacocks, butterflies, monkeys, pandas, exotic birds, and tropical flowers awaits. Thousands of hand-cut tiles in sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and gold tones adorn the walls, while turquoise stones form a mosaic floor that unfurls. The hotel might embody whisper-quiet luxury, but the Winter Garden is a stunning display of beauty and craftsmanship.

Rare Gems and Custom Designs

More than 20 years ago, Monica Rich Kosann designed her first lockets to tell an individual’s unique story. Today, showcasing those memories and histories remains at the heart of MRK collections, which range from simple gold or silver pieces to those encrusted with one-of-a-kind rare gems. Perfect for gifting, the brand also offers options to create custom pieces that tell a truly unique, personal story.

oasting astonishing water and mountain vistas from nearly every room, Le Cap du Roc offers a reconnection to nature amidst the utmost grandeur, all just minutes from the abundant offerings of Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Big Sur. Built to appear as though the home is emerging from the natural landscape, this palatial 3,416-square-foot residence is nestled on 2.8 private acres in the prestigious gated Sea Meadow Community at Rocky Point.

Inside, the residence is adorned with oak floors, Arcadia aluminum and walnut doors, five interior fireplaces, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows framing the ravishing, indescribable views of the picturesque California coastline. “The most important thing was to bring the outside in,” says Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty. “It’s an ideal location with the combination of views and a home that is turnkey.” Furthermore, the unique single-story home was crafted with a Mediterranean and Moroccan flare by Holdren Lietzke, offering three en suite bedrooms, three baths, and a flowing, open floor plan. The gourmet kitchen boasts the finest appliances including an induction range, two dishwashers, a SubZero fridge, Wolf Speed oven, two Wolf ovens, and onyx counters.

36654 Highway 1 in Carmel Highlands has been meticulously reimagined from the ground up, with no expense spared.

Past the spacious front driveway, a sheltered courtyard with a pristine outdoor fireplace and cozy seating area awaits, along with a hot tub built directly into the stone and an expansive terrace with multiple seating areas perfect for entertaining and gathering. Built on granite

with exteriors of color-coat concrete finish, plaster finish on the southside, and a TPO and tile roof with a live roof over the garage, the oceanfront home’s design features Moorish accents and boasts a mission look that has been designed to bear the elements.

Direct access to the sparkling water only adds to the allure of this estate. “The stone staircase down to the granite cliffs and rocks down to the ocean is a very special design,” says Allen. When asked what makes this home one-of-a-kind, he says, “It’s a combination of a killer house on a killer private lot that grants accessibility to the water and a feeling of being out there, but still close to all the amenities. Big Sur is in your backyard.”

Le Cap du Roc is a spectacular retreat for those seeking privacy and tranquility, while still wanting to engage in and be close to the community. The home could be a full-time residence or a second residence where people could work from the house and/ or come to visit and entertain, according to Allen. “There are very few properties like this that exist along the California coast, and it has been done right. It is truly an opportunity for someone to get an iconic piece that is extremely rare at a good value,” says Allen, concluding that this idyllic residence is ideal for “Those who want a better quality of life.”

In the U.S., no street evokes exclusivity more than Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where luxury merchandise is paired with sun-drenched hospitality.

Elite Streets

The world’s preeminent retail streets, lined with luxury boutiques, cafés, and art galleries, are steeped in tradition, but constantly shaping trends.

BY Roger Grody

Ahandful of streets around the world truly define the luxury shopping experience — places where global trends are born and budgets are blown. New York’s Fifth Avenue, Paris’ Champs-Élysées, and Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills are among the most well known, lined with chic boutiques that draw an elite clientele. The hot trends that eventually arrive in suburban malls often begin on these iconic, billionaire-favored streets, where some may be relegated to simple window shopping.

Premier shopping streets celebrate art and culture, not just fashion, and their unifying characteristics include distinctive architecture and public art. While historic structures contribute to the overall ambiance, there has been an influx of bold contemporary façades and interiors. Much of the modernism is driven by luxury brands anxious to appeal to new generations of consumers while integrating technology into the shopping experience.

New shopping technology may emerge through interactive mirrors using artificial intelligence to suggest alternate styles or sizes, streamlining the process, but VIP clients generally prefer the human element. Style consultants in high-end boutiques offer private showings and curate special merchandise for their clients — who are not only celebrities and heiresses, but also corporate executives or attorneys willing to invest in their wardrobes.

“It’s really all about the branding, expressing the client’s brand outside and inside for a seamless customer experience,” says architect Christian Lahoude, whose eponymous studio has created more than 330 retail environments around the world for luxury brands like Jimmy Choo, Tiffany & Co., and Gucci. “We reinterpret the branding with each new store,” says Eric Clough, founder of 212box, a firm responsible for Christian Louboutin boutiques around the world. “Every store is unique, and we like to incorporate local cultural elements,” explains Clough, who notes that the Louboutin store on Fifth Avenue has an entirely different vibe than its counterparts in London or Hong Kong.

In the U.S., no street evokes exclusivity more than Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where luxury merchandise is paired with sun-drenched hospitality. Its legendary status has been bolstered by its roles in Hollywood productions and its host city’s enduring

New York’s Fifth Avenue, ingrained in pop culture, is one of the world’s most elite shopping destinations, a reputation cultivated for more than a century. Complemented by boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Bulgari, the avenue remains a pinnacle of luxury retail.

reputation for conspicuous consumption. Kay Monica Rose, president of the Rodeo Drive Committee, states, “Our magical three blocks, dotted with palm trees, have the world’s leading brands, Michelin-starred restaurants, and world-class art.” Noting that public art is an important ingredient in Rodeo Drive’s magic, Rose reports that sculptor Richard Orlinski’s work — featured at the Paris Olympics — is currently being exhibited on the street.

The designer boutiques on Rodeo Drive host VIP events on rooftop terraces, and Givenchy recently moved into a landmark Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building. The committee partners with designers and local businesses to create events that draw diverse crowds, recognizing that the Rodeo Drive experience is not limited to chauffeured Bentleys delivering fashionistas to designer boutiques. Every year, traffic is closed off for a Concours d’Elegance event showcasing extraordinary automobiles. “There’s nothing like seeing a million-dollar Bugatti with Gucci in the background,” says Rose, adding, “there’s always something going on at Rodeo Drive.”

New York’s Fifth Avenue, ingrained in pop culture, is another of the world’s most elite shopping destinations, a reputation cultivated

for more than a century. Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, and the nowclosed Lord & Taylor helped establish Fifth Avenue’s prestigious reputation. Complemented by boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Bulgari, the avenue remains a pinnacle of luxury retail. Madelyn Wils, interim president of the Fifth Avenue Association, notes that the district encompasses about two dozen landmark buildings, including Gilded Age residences repurposed into stores, such as the Cartier Mansion and the forthcoming Skims boutique from Kim Kardashian.

Fifth Avenue has also embraced contemporary architecture, with the Apple Store, introduced in 2006 as an ethereal glass cube, now synonymous with the avenue’s modern style. The Valentino flagship store and the jewel-box Chanel boutique, along with other ongoing projects, embody bold, modern aesthetics. Dining is also part of the luxury Fifth Avenue experience, with names like Cipriani, Nobu, and Benoit — offering French cuisine from superchef Alain Ducasse — for culinary indulgence after a shopping spree. Wils reports that her association is collaborating with the city to redesign, adding wider sidewalks and landscaping. “The brands are investing billions,

and the city needs to step up,” says Wils, adding, “We want to make it a greener, more pedestrian-friendly boulevard so that when people come here, they feel like they’ve arrived at a special place.”

Journalist and entrepreneur Leah Walker, CEO of Garnier Creations in Paris, provides bespoke encounters with luxury brands for sophisticated visitors. She explains that the “Golden Triangle” — bordered by Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Avenue George V, and Avenue Montaigne — is the epicenter of luxury retail in her adopted city. The Champs-Élysées is home to boutiques like Cartier and Louis Vuitton, as well as the Parisian department store Galeries Lafayette. But the most fashion-forward stretch is Avenue Montaigne, says Walker, reporting, “from the river to the Champs-Élysées, this street is lined almost entirely with high-end designer brands.”

Noting a trend toward “experiential retail,” Walker explains, “Brands are focusing on the customer experience and immersion into the brand,” citing Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Armani as leaders. This is accomplished through unique spaces for VIP events, private suites, and even Michelin-starred dining on site. “They’re expanding beyond fashion into a complete lifestyle,” she adds, citing Jacquemus as a hot, non-legacy brand offering relative value on Avenue Montaigne. “It’s a luxury brand geared toward a younger market, and it has a freshness to it,” suggests the Parisian insider.

Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, often referred to as the East Coast’s version of Rodeo Drive, has drawn the über-rich for a century. The four-block stretch is packed with boutiques such as Versace, Ferragamo, and Gucci, along with local designers and ultra-premium watchmakers like Jaeger-LeCoultre. The street is packaged within the Mediterranean Revival architecture of Addison Mizner, a signature of Palm Beach elegance. As the Worth Avenue Association proclaims, “if you haven’t been to Worth Avenue, you haven’t been to Palm Beach.”

London’s Bond Street, with the highest concentration of haute couture shopping in the world, rivals Paris in luxury retail. Homegrown brands like Alexander McQueen, Burberry, and Victoria Beckham are joined by international labels Fendi, Dior, and Louis Vuitton. The street blends old-world elegance with British charm, and is sustained by both affluent locals and international shoppers. Bond Street’s proximity to elite hotels such as The Ritz, Claridge’s, and Mandarin Oriental makes it a luxury retail destination like no other.

Delectable CulinaryRetreats

Journeys such as pintxos tasting, sushi masterclasses, private truffle hunts, and bespoke cake-decorating immerse travelers in the rich food traditions and artistry in various regions.

by Emily Jaeger

Imagine wandering through the labyrinthine streets of San Sebastián’s Parte Vieja in Spain, where centuriesold sandstone buildings guard their secrets. Around each corner, hidden squares emerge, inviting you into the heart of Basque culinary tradition. Shops brim with local delicacies and pintxos bars beckon you to sample the essence of Basque cuisine. As the saltkissed breezes from La Zurriola Beach drift by, you realize this isn’t just a European getaway; it’s an immersion into the soul of a place where food and tradition have been intertwined for generations.

The world of exclusive culinary retreats and masterclasses is a gateway to this kind of experience. From bustling markets with the freshest ingredients to intimate cooking classes led by renowned chefs, these retreats offer a level of culinary artistry that is nothing short of sublime. Every step, from sourcing ingredients to crafting intricate dishes, is a celebration of culture and craftsmanship.

As Chef Bendur Elizondo, who runs a culinary studio in San Sebastián says, “we promote a culture of good ingredients, good food, good cooking.”

THE ART OF BASQUE CUISINE: EXCLUSIVE CLASSES WITH CHEF BEN

Affectionately known as Chef Ben, his studio offers a window into the heart of Basque cuisine, where tradition and artistry intertwine.

After over a decade of working in the region’s esteemed restaurants, Elizondo realized it was time for a change. “I decided to start teaching, and I loved it. So I opened my own company — it was something completely new, and I learned as I was working,” he says.

Elizondo’s private cooking classes are designed for small groups, typically two to six people, ensuring an exclusive and personalized experience. Guests can choose between two signature classes: a traditional Basque meal or a deeper dive into the world of pintxos, where Elizondo guides participants on a culinary journey spanning 80 years of tradition. His pintxos class showcases the evolution of these hors d’oeuvres, from simple bread and skewers to intricate dishes that emphasize balance, presentation, and visual appeal.

The classes begin with a stroll through the market, a cornerstone of Basque life. “I take you to my market and visit my best suppliers, people I’ve known for years from my time working there,” he says. This local

“People want very immersive experiences, both cultural and culinary,” says Ashley Isaacs Ganz, founder and CEO of Artisans of Leisure. “Food motivates a lot of travelers to go to Japan.”

Artisans of Leisure, a premier luxury travel company, specializes in crafting exclusive, customized tours that allow travelers to explore the depth of Japan’s culinary heritage.

As a foremost destination for gourmet travel, Japan offers guests the chance to savor exquisite cuisine, from Michelin-starred dining to hidden street food gems. Culinary experiences you won’t want to miss. Ganz recommends an exquisite evening at a geisha house, where you’ll enjoy an elaborate, private kaiseki multi-course meal while being serenaded by traditional Japanese music.

Another popular excursion is a chef-led tour to Tokyo’s famous fish auction, hand-picking the freshest seafood before returning to the restaurant for a one-on-one sushi masterclass. Artisans of Leisure also organizes hands-on cooking lessons in traditional Japanese homes, learning the everyday dishes passed down through generations. “Japanese culture is very private. So going into a home is an exclusive experience,” Ganz explains.

Chef Ben's pintxos class showcases the evolution of these hors d’oeuvres, from simple skewers to intricate dishes that emphasize balance, presentation, and visual appeal.

connection elevates the experience as guests meet butchers, fishmongers, and grocers while learning the importance of fresh, high-quality ingredients. One of the most special times of the year to visit, Elizondo shares, is in late March, when there is an “explosion of fresh produce harvested just an hour away from the kitchen — white asparagus, artichokes, fava, and green peas.”

Elizondo’s classes also delve into the intricate craft of plating. With tweezers in hand, he demonstrates how to create dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. “A plate is like a piece of paper that you have to draw on,” he explains. “You need to get some balance. We don’t throw the food over the plate, we place it on the dish.”

JAPAN: THE ART OF TASTE

Japan offers an unparalleled fusion of tradition, innovation, and culinary artistry, making it a top destination for travelers seeking exceptional gastronomic experiences.

For tea enthusiasts, the travel company organizes private visits to elegant tea farms to hand-pick leaves, learn about different varieties, and partake in intimate tastings and ceremonies.

For tea enthusiasts, the travel company organizes private visits to elegant tea farms to hand-pick leaves, learn about different varieties, and partake in intimate tastings and ceremonies. “We also offer personalized lessons in crafting traditional Japanese tea sweets, followed by tasting tours of historic sweet shops that have perfected their recipes for centuries,” Ganz says.

SAVORING ITALY: EXCLUSIVE FOOD AND WINE ADVENTURES

Italy’s enduring charm, combined with its unparalleled culinary traditions, draws travelers back time and again. “But each time clients go back, they also want to discover something new,” Ganz

shares. With Italy’s expansive culinary offerings, there’s always something new to explore, whether it’s revisiting classic cities like Rome or Florence, or traveling to lesser-known regions such as Sicily, Puglia, or Piedmont.

Artisans of Leisure curates bespoke tours that not only immerse guests in Italy’s cultural landmarks, but also some of the country’s most exclusive food and wine experiences. In Piedmont, travelers can embark on a private truffle hunt, followed by a behind-the-scenes tour of Michelin-starred kitchens led by an insider who knows the chefs personally, according to Ganz. Guests are also invited to renowned wineries for private tastings with expert sommeliers.

In Puglia, guests can participate in hands-on mozzarellamaking classes, sample the region’s world-class olive oils, and learn the art of Southern Italian cooking.

For families or groups of friends, fully tailored tours that cater to each traveler’s unique interests and dietary requirements are available. From gluten-free cooking lessons to private at-home dinners, each experience is personalized to ensure everyone — whether a seasoned chef or a novice — can enjoy and learn from Italy’s rich gastronomic heritage.

“I view cake decorating as more of an art form than anything else. I want participants to leave with a sense of achievement and the feeling that they’ve had a fantastic time. It’s not just about learning new skills; it’s about the joy of creating something beautiful.”

CRAFTING SWEET PERFECTION: EXCLUSIVE CAKE MASTERCLASSES IN DUBAI

In the heart of Dubai, at the luxurious Atlantis The Royal, the Little Venice Cake Company offers an extraordinary decorating masterclass led by world-renowned cake artist Penelope d’Arcy Graham. Known for her background in art and design, Graham says, “I’ve always loved working with textures and composition, and I view cake decorating as more of an art form than anything else.”

Graham’s masterclasses are completely bespoke, with every detail tailored to each guest’s desires. This level of customization elevates the experience, creating something truly unique and intimate. With no more than eight participants per private session, Graham provides personal attention and guidance to help guests craft stunning cakes. “One of my favorite masterclasses was with a guest who was celebrating her cousin’s engagement. We created a bespoke cake with golden wafer paper flowers that

matched the décor of her celebration,” Graham recalls.

Graham also curates every aspect of the class to enhance the creative process. “The kitchen space we work in is beautiful and serene, creating a relaxing atmosphere that enhances the creative process,” she says. Guests work with the finest ingredients, the same premium items used in all of the Little Venice Cake Company’s award-winning cakes. Fresh fruits, premium specialty sugars, and high-quality equipment ensure each creation is not only visually spectacular, but also delicious.

With her personal touch and artistic expertise, Graham ensures that every guest leaves the masterclass with a sense of accomplishment. “I want participants to leave with a sense of achievement and the feeling that they’ve had a fantastic time. It’s not just about learning new skills; it’s about the joy of creating something beautiful."

Elevate Your Home

Unique furnishings and décor for the ultimate home experience.

BY ROGER GRODY

The demand for luxury never takes a breather, but the components of luxury residential environments are constantly in flux. Transitions in lifestyle preferences, technology, and demographics have challenged designers to express the quality of highend home accessories in new, innovative ways. With the pandemic behind us but not forgotten, many of the most in-demand accessories are fueled by comfort, convenience, and wellness.

John Cialone, partner and vice president at Chicago-based Tom Stringer Design Partners — the firm’s portfolio features cosmopolitan penthouses and waterfront retreats across the country — reports, “our clients have access to everything, so finding something truly unique, which nobody else has, can be challenging.” He adds, “people love things that are clever, but especially when they’re functional or solve design problems,” citing items like pop-up TVs and secret doors. “We do a lot of hidden doors, usually so the aesthetics of a library or wall space aren’t interrupted,” says Cialone of this quintessential cloak-and-dagger feature.

Acknowledging that lighting has a profound impact on a space, Cialone admires the top-tier products of Los Angelesbased Alison Berger Glassworks, which offers handblown, custom lighting commissions. More accessible is South Carolina’s The Urban Electric Co., which is adept at mixing different finishes per the requirements of some Tom Stringer Design Partners projects. For someone who has everything, Cialone suggests constellation-themed tableware from German porcelain maker Nymphenburg, whose hand-painted “My Private Sky” plates present the night sky as it appeared at any time and place significant to the homeowner.

“I have a great appreciation for fine-quality textiles,” notes Cialone, adding, “everybody knows Hermès, but Sandra Jordan produces alpaca textiles that are not quite cashmere, but are extremely luxurious.” The sustainable product is used for throws and pillows or for upholstering furniture. A unique accessory, applicable for both entertaining and décor, is a

“People love things that are clever, but especially when they’re functional. We do a lot of hidden doors, usually so the aesthetics of a library or wall space aren’t interrupted.”

Scrabble set with exquisite leather-wrapped tiles from London-based Asprey, priced at more than $15,000. Game rooms continue to evolve, with billiard table designs that complement any architectural style. Cialone recently commissioned New York’s Blatt Billiards for a custom vintage-style table, and for contemporary aesthetics, designers look to Impatia, located outside Milan, whose billiard and ping-pong tables have the sleek styling of Italian sports cars. Art and music are perennial interests among luxury homeowners, and Sondra Ganz, founder and principal designer at Studio Ganz in San Francisco, incorporates both into her projects. “Clients are less interested in super-expensive art and are gravitating toward pieces by emerging and local artists,” she says. “Many of my clients are involved in playing music or collecting instruments, and whenever possible, I like to incorporate those into the décor,” she adds. Ganz notes that serious audiophiles are now acquiring reel-to-reel music players, which are said to deliver better sound quality than vinyl. “They can be quite expensive, and because they have more of a

physical presence than turntables, they create an element of surprise in a room.”

Ganz reports another pandemic influence (one that is here to stay) is the incorporation of greenery into the home, and she works with horticulturists specializing in bespoke interior planting. She receives frequent requests for Zip Water faucets in the kitchen, which Cialone also reports are in demand by his clients. This multifunctional faucet, which dispenses filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, appeals to health- and ecoconscious homeowners while eliminating the need for teapots or SodaStream machines.

The home gym has always been an essential space in ultra-luxury residences, but the pandemic made it an even greater priority. For a more artistic version of the stationary bike, high-income workout enthusiasts opt for the Ciclotte Bike. Priced at almost $20,000, the traditional frame is replaced by an ethereal glass disk, making the crystalline unicycle almost entirely transparent — a truly seductive

piece of gym equipment. In San Francisco, where square footage is often scarce, Ganz reports that many of her clients seek to combine an office with space for cycling or yoga.

Another interior design priority reinforced during the pandemic — but proving to be enduring — is the ever-increasing value of the kitchen, no longer hidden behind closed doors, but now a showcase for sophisticated design and a prime venue for entertainment. While cutting-edge technology is encouraged, tradition can be equally compelling, demonstrated by classically styled La Cornue ranges handcrafted in France. A myriad of options and custom colors are available, and with all the bells and whistles, a La Cornue appliance can cost as much as a Ferrari.

Steven Cooper, principal designer at Cooper Pacific Kitchens — the company has showrooms in Los Angeles and Big Sky, Montana — reports that La Cornue ranges are serious cooking machines that double as pieces of art. “It’s the ‘original’ French range made one at a time, so it’s fully customizable to your lifestyle and whatever you like to cook,” says Cooper. “In the American market, it’s known first for its aesthetics and the allure of French styling, but it’s also beloved by serious chefs,” he adds. Cooper notes that students at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school learn their craft on La Cornue ranges.

A natural wonder, akin to the Hope Diamond or the Oppenheimer Blue Diamond, is the Flower Diamond, with a natural flower-shaped inclusion in the center that stuns lovers of diamonds and flowers alike.

by Marlene Ridgway

In and out of the luxury world , diamonds are traditionally considered a girl’s best friend and envied by all. These precious gemstones have enamored people as natural marvels, a signature of status, and overall, a fashionable wonder to wear and admire. However, some particular stones outshine others and truly epitomize the rare beauty of diamonds. One prime example is the Flower Diamond.

MIDDLE: Inclusions and imperfections in diamonds can impact the clarity or the overall

Discovered in 2000 in the lush and mysterious jungles of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the unforgettable diamond was first unearthed by a local miner.

Blossoming in the heart of this 3.02-carat, pear-shaped modified brilliant diamond is a perfectly symmetric, naturally occurring, six-petaled flower formation that appears ethereal at first glance. “It’s difficult to believe until you see it with your own eyes,” says John Humbert, a certified gemologist and the owner of the Flower Diamond. “The fact that it happened in nature, deep beneath the Earth’s surface, makes it that much more rare.” Additionally, the petals alternate directions, with three petals radiating upward and three facing downward, giving it a three-dimensional, uniform appearance.

Discovered in 2000 in the lush and mysterious jungles of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the unforgettable diamond was first unearthed by a local miner. Its raw, unpolished form measured 6.23 carats, but hidden beneath its rough exterior lay a secret that would astonish even seasoned diamond experts. The stone’s true potential came to light upon closer inspection, and Humbert, who was living in Brazil at the time, realized that the seemingly imperfect inclusion — a hydrogen cloud formation — actually made this gemstone even more desirable. Rather than diminish

the diamond’s beauty, the inclusion elevated it, turning what is often considered a flaw into a feature of unparalleled elegance.

One of the four Cs associated with grading diamonds is clarity. This component is directly related to the inclusions or imperfections that appear in a stone. These often cloudy shapes can occasionally be seen by the naked eye, but just as often, go unnoticed. Humbert explains, “inclusions can often determine how a diamond shines or sparkles because it can affect how a diamond and its facets catch the light.” Diamond clarity falls on a spectrum that ends at "flawless." These diamonds frequently demand a higher price tag, typically indicating that no internal or external inclusions are visible under a microscope or to the naked eye.

In some unique situations, inclusions can increase the value of a diamond. "Imagine they are like a snowflake. No two are the same, and nothing says luxury like one of a kind,” says Humbert. Other distinctive inclusions have been discovered in diamonds over the years, including an eerie-looking Venetian mask, the outline of a ballet dancer, and even a unicorn head shape.

shine. RIGHT: A six-petal flower inclusion appears in the heart of the Flower Diamond.

“John Humbert, a certified gemologist who was living in Brazil at the time, realized that the seemingly imperfect inclusion — a hydrogen cloud formation — actually made this gemstone even more desirable.”

After careful study, the six-plus-carat Flower Diamond was recut to 3.02 carats. The new pear shape emphasized the floral inclusion at its center. It was graded by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) as a fancy brown-greenish yellow, though the subtle greenish hue is what catches the eye most. “The diamond appears more green in color, which stands out well against silver, gold, and other white diamonds,” adds Humbert. Since recutting the stone, it has been transformed into a masterpiece, set in a platinum necklace adorned with an additional 32 carats of diamonds.

In a world that often prizes perfection, the Flower Diamond and others like it, invite a reimagining of beauty. Fascinating inclusions essentially tell the story of their geological birth. The GIA has studied examples of “asteriated cloud” inclusions, where clouds of microscopic particles create a star-like effect. These rare formations remind us of the unpredictability and majesty of nature that make diamonds so luxurious.

“The inclusions are a testament to how diamonds form under immense heat and pressure, which is hard for us to imagine when just browsing a jewelry store on 47th Street,” says Humbert. Diamond inclusions are essentially time capsules of the natural forces that shaped them. Each diamond with a rare inclusion — be it a flower, a star, or a cloud — becomes a small piece of the Earth’s geological history, captured in the hardest substance known to man.

For those who appreciate both the intricate delicacy of flowers and the timeless allure of diamonds, this unique formation offers the best of both worlds. It stands as a symbol of duality — imperfection and perfection, nature and luxury. Humbert’s decision to frame the diamond within a necklace of glittering platinum and additional diamonds was a another testament to the stone’s remarkable story. This is no ordinary gem, but a collector’s piece, a once-in-a-lifetime discovery that cannot be replicated.

The story of the Flower Diamond continues to inspire wonder among collectors, gemologists, and jewelry lovers alike. Its rarity lies not just in its remarkable appearance, but in the singular nature of its creation.

Art:A Gift That Keeps on Giving

An intimate and opulent gesture, fine art is a deeply meaningful gift that transcends time.

By Emily Jaeger

“A

thing of beauty is a joy forever,” said John Keats, and few gifts capture this sentiment better than fine art. Paintings, sculptures, photographs, and more are a deeply personal and meaningful choice because art is subjective. It’s a true mark of connection to choose a piece that a friend, child, or partner will love. When done thoughtfully, gifting art becomes a one-of-akind gesture — timeless and ever-growing in significance.

Whether it’s a contemporary masterpiece or a bespoke commission that reflects the recipient’s life and interests, the value of art transcends trends. It’s a gift with a lasting legacy, often passed on to future generations, enhancing spaces and lives alike.

“It’s something that grows in significance over time and can give you that joy every time you walk past it, offering a new perspective,” says Kristi Kohut, artist and founder of Hapi Art.

The Intimacy of Art Gifting

Kohut, the visionary artist behind Hapi Art, is redefining the luxury art world through her vibrant works and by reshaping the way people experience art gifting. Since founding her

ABOVE: Chromatic Stripe #49, by Hapi Art.

“I’ve been on a mission to bring color, joy, and beauty to people in a way that lifts them up and feels very luxurious. I want to create art that engages you in an ongoing dialogue each day.”

Chicago-based company in 2014, Kohut has worked directly with collectors, bypassing traditional gallery models to offer a more personal experience.

“I’ve been painting all my life,” Kohut reflects. “It’s always been my passion.” Yet it wasn’t until her 30s, as a new parent, that she fully embraced her path as a full-time artist. Her works, inspired by the forms and colors of nature, are vibrant and offer something new with every glance. “I’ve been on a mission to bring color, joy, and beauty to people in a way that lifts them up and feels very luxurious. I want to create art that engages you in an ongoing dialogue each day,” she says.

The intimacy of gifting art is something Kohut deeply understands. “It’s so powerful and personal,” she says. “When you gift art, it’s not just about the object; it’s about showing that you know and appreciate the person you’re giving it to. It’s a reflection of both your taste and your understanding of who they are.” This trend is especially visible among friends, where gifting art goes beyond material value to become a gesture of deep emotional connection.

For Kohut, this rising trend highlights the unique position art holds in the luxury gifting world. “It elevates the exchange, making it more thoughtful, more intimate. It’s a gift that grows in significance and becomes part of the recipient’s life story.” Through her bold, colorful creations, Kohut captures this essence — offering not just beauty, but lasting emotional depth.

Curating Meaningful Connections

Jacquelin Napal, the co-owner of Art Angels in Los Angeles, recognizes art’s unique ability to resonate deeply with both the giver and the receiver. Art Angels is known for its eclectic range of contemporary works, from street art to abstract neon sculptures that make truly unforgettable gifts. Artworks have been featured in elite homes worldwide, and on shows such as “Selling Sunset,” “Unorthodox Life,” and “Million Dollar Listing.”

LEFT: Sunkissed and Garden Goddess, by artist Amy Shekhter. BELOW: Better Days for Better Hearts, by Flore.

“When you give someone a piece of art, it’s more than just the immediate impact,” Napal explains. “Every time the recipient looks at that piece, they’re reminded of the person who gave it to them and what that person was feeling when they chose it. It becomes part of their life, their story.” The artworks at Art Angels are curated with this in mind — evocative pieces meant to grow alongside their owners, revealing new layers of meaning over time.

Micah Johnson’s Aku series, Napal shares, has become a popular gift for collectors’ children. Inspired by his nephew’s question, “Can astronauts be Black?” Johnson created the character Aku as a symbol of endless possibilities. Aku’s resonance as a gift lies in its

aspirational message: a symbol of breaking barriers and imagining a world without limits. “It’s a piece that encourages people to dream bigger and reach further, which is such a powerful message to share with someone,” Napal notes.

Another client favorite is Stefania Nazzal’s mixed media pieces. Her dreamlike, rainbow-hued creations made from PVC string draw on the principles of color therapy, evoking a sense of joy and wonder. “Being in the presence of her work makes people feel good,” Napal says. Nazzal’s pieces often incorporate text — phrases like “What if it was all a dream?” or “Stay in Wonderland.” These words add a layer of meaning, becoming a sentiment shared between the artist, buyer, and receiver.

RIGHT: Wandering Moments, by Stefania Nazzal.

“It’s so special because I’ll connect with the friend who purchases the art and the person who receives it. You see that whole journey, and it’s really powerful. It makes me want to keep doing what I’m doing.”

The Art of Personalization:

Concierge Services

For discerning buyers, concierge services at both Art Angels and Hapi Art offer an elevated, white-glove approach to selecting artwork. These services provide invaluable guidance for art gifting. Napal encourages clients to explore the recipient’s personal taste to find the perfect match. “I ask as many questions as they’ll allow me, to understand the person as much as possible because, you know, I want to get it right on the first shot,” she explains. With art often representing a significant investment, especially as a gift, Napal and her team work diligently to ensure the piece resonates with the recipient’s aesthetic and emotional sensibilities.

Kohut takes a similar approach, often encouraging buyers to share details about their friend’s style, preferences, or even pictures of their home interiors. “The more you can bring in, the better,” Kohut says, emphasizing the importance of these personal insights. In some cases, clients even opt for gift cards, allowing the recipient to have the experience of coming into the gallery and selecting a piece themselves. “It’s about creating an experience,” Kohut adds, “where the process of choosing the art becomes just as meaningful as the gift itself.”

Bespoke Art Commissions:

The Ultimate Personal Gift

A one-of-a-kind, tailored piece, crafted specifically for a certain

recipient, takes art gifting to an entirely new level. Nothing embodies personal connection quite like a bespoke art commission. It’s not just about the artwork — it’s about the experience of collaborating with the artist to create something deeply meaningful, a reflection of the recipient’s story, style, and emotions.

“There’s something really special about owning or gifting something completely unique,” Kohut explains. “It’s handmade just for you, and only you will have it.” Kohut’s process for commissions goes beyond creating a beautiful piece; she works closely with clients to understand their vision, ensuring the final artwork reflects their personal story in a timeless and significant way.

At Art Angels, bespoke commissions are also gaining popularity. Napal shares that many clients are drawn to the distinctive style of Christopher Florentino, known for his Urban Cubist series. Florentino’s work, influenced by Basquiat, merges pop art and street art with layers of written words, some concealed, some exposed. His commissions often incorporate words or phrases that hold special meaning for the recipient, making the piece not just a work of art but a personal narrative.

The commission process is meaningful for the artist as well. Kohut explains, “It’s so special because I’ll connect with the friend who purchases the art and the person who receives it. You see that whole journey, and it’s really powerful. It makes me want to keep doing what I’m doing.”

LOCAL LUXURY AND

By Marlene Ridgway

In the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale, Arizona’s vibrant art scene is set against a stunning desert backdrop. The city offers unparalleled scenery in every direction of dazzling night skies, natural landscapes, and breathtaking artistry.

Whether you're an avid collector or simply appreciate the finer things in life, Scottsdale boasts some of the best views available.

The city’s creative community is where every corner reveals a new masterpiece, and every venue promises a unique blend of sophistication and creativity. For a touch of elegance and inspiration visit the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, or de Sarthe Gallery, which brings cutting-edge exhibits and innovative presentations from artists around the world. For contemporary pieces, Think Fine Art and Wilde

Meyer Gallery are standout destinations, featuring thought-provoking works that highlight both natural and abstract beauty.

For panoramic desert views, Mountain House Lodge rises as a favorite. “Our entire community is blessed with beautiful views as we are at almost 3,000 feet elevation,” says Michael Tebbetts, director of operations. Tucked beside a nature preserve, the resort-style clubhouse offers a serene yet majestic setting with views of the McDowell Mountains and Tom’s Thumb.

For the ultimate rooftop experience, SEVEN at Caesars Republic Scottsdale offers spectacular

desert vistas paired with elevated cuisine, while The House Brasserie features a Victorian-inspired ambiance with culinary elegance. Just steps from the iconic Hotel Valley Ho, The House Brasserie invites diners to enjoy a charming tree-shaded patio setting.

“We do have something special here in Scottsdale,” says Lori Thiemann, director of marketing at Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows. “We like to say that we are in the middle of everything, but away from it all.” The resort’s Weft & Warp Art Bar + Kitchen boasts one of Scottsdale’s finest sunset spots, with its westward-facing patio framing Camelback Mountain in twilight hues.

End an evening in Scottsdale with celestial views at The Gilbert Rotary Centennial Observatory. “Arizona has a large number of clear nights, and the lack of moisture and low winds helps to enhance viewing. That is the reason many of our highest peaks contain observatories,” says Claude Haynes, observatory manager. Other views can be captured at Kitt Peak National Observatory or book a stay at Adero Scottsdale, which is located in a dark sky community, making it ideal for stargazing.

carport for that amount in Tiburon [Marin County, California]." Gemigniani currently lists an 18-bedroom château in the Loire Valley. This 12-acre property includes a Roman ruin and four short-term rental units. Dating back to the 15th century, but completely updated for 21st-century lifestyles, it is offered at $2.67 million. “The Loire Valley is the most beautiful region in France and just an hour's train ride to Paris,” says Gemigniani.

The debut of its Opera House in 1973 signaled a new era for Sydney, Australia, where a world-class city blossomed around the iconic structure. The pandemic stalled the luxury market, but lower interest rates, perceptions of good value, and a return of investors from China are contributing to making 2024 a banner year for high-end real estate in Sydney. Hurwitz says, “The city’s luxury market is very strong with demand and prices rising.” A 28,800-square-foot waterfront mansion in exclusive Point Piper, listed by Forbes Global Properties, is expected to yield at least $134 million, shattering Sydney’s existing record sales price. Further afield, in French Polynesia, the Hurwitz James Company offers Villa Aquamaris for $52.5 million, an extraordinary beachfront property in Bora Bora featuring the largest private aquarium in the world.

Dubai has become an international metaphor for an over-the-top lifestyle, encompassing sevenstar hotels, gold leaf-covered steaks, and fleets of Lamborghinis. The dynamic United Arab Emirates metropolis also showcases mind-blowing residential properties, from private villas to penthouses with unbridled amenities. Helena Moyas de Forton, managing director at Christie’s International Real Estate — her responsibilities encompass Europe,

the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region — reports that the total value of sales in the city during the first half of 2024 was approximately $63.5 billion, easily eclipsing the previous record for any six-month period in Dubai.

Buyers from the Middle East and Europe continue to fuel a boom in central Dubai, but Moyas de Forton reports luxury buyers are also drawn to a resort lifestyle in outlying Ras Al-Khaimah. A 6,700-square-foot contemporary beachfront villa on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah is currently offered by Christie’s for about $12.3 million, while forthcoming residences at Four Seasons Private Residences at Dubai International Financial Centre include an extraordinary penthouse priced at about $57.2 million. While branded residences bearing the names of luxury hospitality, fashion, or automotive brands are particularly popular in Dubai, Moyas de Forton reports the trend is expanding to emerging markets such as Bangkok, Thailand.

Lisbon was long overlooked in favor of more iconic European cities, but that has changed, with American and European expats now flocking to Portugal. “Lisbon is really at the apex in terms of appeal to foreign buyers, Americans in particular,” says Hurwitz. Despite the expiration of some favorable tax incentives for foreigners, Moyas de Forton confirms Lisbon remains in demand. “Because of the [shared] language, Portugal has always been popular with Brazilians, and the luxury market has been strong even though the broad market was softer in 2023,” she advises. Concurring is Carlos Mangas, business manager at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Atlantic Portugal, who says, “Luxury residences are selling very fast, and if Lisbon had a greater availability

EMERGING MARKETS

Manila, Philippines: Last year, the luxury real estate market in this chaotic metropolis soared 26.3 percent — the fastest in the world.

Malta: Idyllic Mediterranean waters and a favorable tax climate are fueling a luxury market in this under-the-radar island nation.

Punta del Este, Uruguay: A solid economy, stable government, and gorgeous coast draw buyers to the “Saint-Tropez of South America.”

Da Nang, Vietnam: This coastal city is open for business and has been noticed by affluent buyers.

Perth, Australia: Luxury buyers insist that Perth, the most remote metropolis in the world, is well worth the journey.

of new developments, they’d sell out before construction was finished.”

Mangas suggests affluent Brazilians also appreciate the safety of Lisbon and its versatility. “American buyers’ perception of Portugal is of castles and ancient villages, so they’re amazed when I show them modern penthouses or homes,” he says. Not far from the capital, the oceanfront communities of Estoril and Cascais are also experiencing a robust luxury market. With sleek contemporary architecture, this “Portuguese Riviera” is somewhat reminiscent of Malibu, California. Mangas reports that Brazilians are primarily driving that market, but proffers, “Once Americans discover the area, it won’t stop.”

Regarding other well-known European locales, the high-priced London market is rebounding, and the Spanish capital is trending, according to Moyas de Forton. “Madrid is one of the most attractive markets at the moment, although prices are increasing and there’s not much inventory,” she says. In Marbella, on Spain’s fashionable Costa del Sol, DDRE Global — the firm founded by Daniel Daggers of Netflix’s “Buying London” fame — offers a nine-bedroom villa for approximately $25.65 million.

International AI

According to leading universities and trade associations, artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform the real estate industry. Its potential value is particularly pronounced in international transactions, through analyzing global trends, navigating bureaucracies or languages, and negotiating contract terms. Practical applications for overseas house-hunting are emphasized by Dana Bina, chief technology officer at Christie’s International Real Estate. “International real estate transactions benefit from generative AI,” she says, “by allowing consumers to determine possibilities for particular spaces using product-visualization tools.”
