Comprising a long trunk, a crown of fronds and an encompassing crescent, Palm Jumeirah extends over six and a half kilometres into the Arabian Gulf. Considered by some as the Eighth Wonder of the World, this astounding man-made island is home to world-class hotels, exclusive residential communities and premium leisure, retail and entertainment aî…&#x;ractions.

A magnet for high-net-worth individuals, hotels on Palm Jumeirah show consistently higher performance rates on average than their counterparts in Dubai. In addition, the limited availability of crescent properties ensures an unquestionable appreciation in property values.

Situated in a prime spot on the western crescent of Palm Jumeirah, the location of the Emerald Palace Kempinski Hotel is unique in that it offers guests breathtakingly uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, Palm Lagoon and the Dubai skyline.

Its location next to a water inlet in the crescent ensures a constant supply of fresh seawater, while the breakwater effect of the Palm’s crescent creates perfect swimming conditions for guests throughout the year. www.emeraldpalacere.com

S GUIDE TO

LIMA

Dine at world-class restaurants, shop for fine designer goods, and be pampered at deluxe spas in this centuries-old capital city.

Virtually everyone who visits Peru stops over in Lima before traveling on to Cusco and Machu Picchu, the Amazon, or other regions. In the past, visitors may have had low expectations and stayed only a couple of days, not enough for a Colonial city that’s almost 500 years old and whose rich cultural appeal includes pre-Inca archaeological sites and artifacts that are many centuries older.

Luxury experiences in Lima can take you by surprise, because now there are even more reasons not to shortchange your stay in this city. Besides old mansions transformed into boutique hotels in recent years, chefs, designers, and other innovators have launched an exciting evolution that has catapulted the Peruvian capital onto all kinds of “best of” lists.

If dining at world-class restaurants, shopping for fine fashion and beautifully designed home goods, and being pampered at a great spa peak your interest, come see why Lima was named the world’s No. 1 culinary city and Latin America’s top destination.

LUXURY PERU

None other than renowned French chef August Escoffier once ranked Peru’s food as the world’s third best gastronomy behind French and Chinese. But it would take more than a century for Peruvian cuisine to grab the spotlight on the global culinary stage. Much credit goes to Gastón Acurio, a self-appointed ambassador of Peruvian cuisine, whose vast restaurant empire made him the country’s most famous chef. His message was that the foundation of Peru’s gastronomy is built on centuries-old family recipes and the hard work of those who catch the fish, raise the animals, and grow the native crops — including a whopping 3,500 different kinds of potatoes — that are the foundation of all this amazing food. That strategy worked.

Peruvian restaurants started popping up in foodcentric world capitals, and a new generation of Peruvian chefs drew travelers to Lima just for the food. Among dozens of terrific restaurants, three consistently make the annual World’s 50 Best Restaurants list: Astrid y Gastón, Central and Maido.

Astrid y Gastón, Acurio’s flagship restaurant, occupies a beautifully restored 17th-century hacienda in the San Isidro district, dishing up contemporary Peruvian cuisine. Led by Gastón Acurio, the kitchen team is mainly made up by experienced and creative young people who are not afraid to try new things. Their goal: that the food they serve meets the highest standards of quality, while they keep researching about our resources and maintaining a relationship of mutual learning with local producers.

Central Restaurant made a world culinary star of Virgilio Martínez, who last year relocated from the Miraflores neighborhood to his massive new food complex in Barranco. It also houses his wife Pia León’s restaurant Kjolle, a garden, and their research lab, Mater Iniciativa. Through his dishes, Virgilio encourages curiosity, pride and innovation. He understands the impact the food industry has and is determined to continue supporting local communities, in an effort to have a positive and sustainable impact on Peru’s socio-economic development.

And then there’s the Miraflores marvel of JapanesePeruvian fusion, Maido. Its Lima-born, JapanesePeruvian chef, Mitsuharu Tsumura, followed up cooking school in the U.S. with an unpaid apprenticeship at a sushi restaurant in Japan, working his way up for three years before he was allowed to learn the craft of sushi making. That prepared him for success when he opened his Nikkei cuisine restaurant that blends Japanese and Peruvian flavors and ingredients.

Other beloved Lima dining options include Malabar in San Isidro for chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino’s contemporary small plates that feature Amazon rainforest ingredients. At Rafael, chef Rafael Osterling wins over guests with Peruvian-Italian cuisine and the cozy vibe of artfilled dining rooms in an old home in Miraflores.

Chef José del Castillo’s Isolina is a dining darling for traditional Peruvian criollo dishes served in the former summer home of wealthy Limeños, three blocks from the main square in Barranco.

A divine experience that you’ll never forget is dining in Huaca Pucllana, a seven- level truncated pyramid made of clay where you can enjoy a special meal. The Huaca is a ceremonial center built by the Lima culture between 450 and 700 AD. It later became a resting place for elite characters of the Wari Culture between 850 and 1000 AD; and

finally, a site for offerings and burials of the Yschma Culture between 1000 and 1450 AD. The Huaca Pucllana offers a culinary philosophy of using Peruvian flavors as a base for its cuisine, interpreting the classic cooking techniques, as well as the contemporary styles, and satisfies the demands of the most exquisite palates. With Arturo Rubio´s qualified contribution as the restaurant promoter and chefs Marilú Madueño and Andrea Massaro, it offers a renewed cuisine to the most demanding palates.

The restaurant has become a popular meeting point especially in the evenings, where diners can enjoy the beautiful view of the Prehispanic structures’ details thanks to a unique lightning system, which artfully illuminates its patios, plazas and enclosures.

Exclusive Shopping When it’s time to fill up your shopping bags, expect high end brands in malls like Larcomar, Jockey Plaza and Conquistadores. But you can also find some of the best shops are a bit under the radar, many in old homes scattered around the nicest residential neighborhoods.

www.peru.travel LUXURY REDEFINED

Make a day of Barranco, a seaside district that has transformed itself from a deteriorated zone of abandoned summer mansions to an artsy, hipster hood where restored homes have been repurposed as boutiques, coffee hangouts, galleries, and restaurants. Long ahead of the trend was Dédalo with more than a dozen rooms of handcrafted fashion, accessories, and beautiful objects for the home made by Peruvian designers. Now there are other contenders such as Puna, a lifestyle concept store that mixes artwork, coffee table books, fine alpaca knits, furniture, home décor objects, and notebooks.

For elegant fine jewelry that’s ultra-feminine and dreamy, check out the atelier of Lorena Pestana, located on the second floor of a home across from the entrance to Huaca Pucllana, the ruins of a multi-level pre-Inca pyramid.

Also in Miraflores, the five-story concept store Morphology carries eye-catching women’s fashions, home décor, and baby clothes from Peru’s top designers, showcases pop-ups and trunks shows, and also has a butterfly sanctuary. In Lima (and in Cusco), you can count on Kuna and Sol Alpaca for fine knitted sweaters, scarves, and hats, plus woven blankets, coats, shawls, and throws, all made from alpaca, fine baby alpaca, and very pricey vicuña, the wild South America camelid related to llamas that lives in the high Andes.

Sumptuous Spas If you need a time to relax in Lima, you can find some options to let go of stress and feel better.

In San Isidro, the 20,000-square-foot Tony Chi-designed Heavenly Spa by Westin Lima and largest urban spa in South America features 17 treatment rooms. A European water circuit with Vichy showers, steam room, and hydro massage, semi-Olympic indoor pool, plus nearly 100 treatment options, some that include indigenous ingredients and natural components such as coca leaves and seasonal fruits.

WESTIN HOTEL SPA © JANINE COSTA- PROMPERÚ

Another good option is Zest Spa at the Belmond Miraflores Park Hotel, which offers body treatments with organic and indigenous ingredients from the Amazon, chocolate, coconut, and marine scrubs, hot-stone massage, and yoga on the rooftop pool deck overlooking the ocean — a great way to start or end any day.

KaTaRa ToWeRs lUsail MaRina disTRicT, doha THE FUTURE HOSPITALITY LANDMARK IN LUSAIL CITY With an architectural design inspired by the seal of Qatar, this property is set to become the hospitality landmark in Lusail. The crossed swords of the country’s seal have been architecturally translated into twin arched towers that rise gracefully from the podium level, while the landscaped gardens and palm trees reflect in the ocean frontage.

NEW BEACHFRONT ISLAND ADDS TO LATEST PLANS FOR THE ‘HOSPITALITY ICON OF THE 21ST CENTURY’ Katara Hospitality, the leading hotel owner, developer and operator in the State of Qatar, has announced the latest plans and developments for the iconic Katara Towers, Lusail Marina District Towers underway in Lusail City.

A natural extension of Doha city, Lusail has been designed to encompass a modern, luxurious yet practical business and residential environment while being relevant for Qatar’s thriving economy.

With four exclusive islands and 19 multi-purpose residential, mixed-use, entertainment and commercial districts, Lusail City is set to accommodate a total estimated population of 450,000 people, making it an element of araction for investment in Qatar.

Katara Hospitality is one of the first investors that understood the significance of the project, commiing to developing the hospitality icon of Doha for the 21st Century in Lusail City.

“The world’s most loved cities are oen identified through imagery and landmark buildings. We strongly believe the property we are developing will provide Qatar with an architectural symbol that is known and understood right across the globe.” said Sheikh Nawaf bin Jassim bin Jabor Al Thani, Chairman, Katara Hospitality.

Symbolically intertwined with Qatar’s heritage, the IconicTowers in Lusail are an architectural translation of Qatar’s national seal, representing the traditional scimitar swords.

Raising gracefully from the podium level, the arched towers will host a luxurious five-star hotel to cater to discerning business travellers, a lavish six-star hotel to meet the needs of those seeking sophisticated luxury accommodation and branded apartments to become home to permanent residents. The property will make available a total of 614 rooms. State-of-theart entertainment and recreational facilities, including specialist boutiques, VIP movie theatres, signature restaurants and a private Cigar Lounge are to be complemented by exquisite banqueting and conference spaces, as well as office dedicated areas.

The project has been recently enhanced with additional facilities, thanks to plans for a spectacular man-made satellite beach-front island. This will be home to an incredible mix of leisure and water sports facilities, food and beverage outlets as well as worldclass water parks within a stunning, sun-protected garden environment. Linked to the ‘IconicTowers’ promenade by bridges, this spectacular feature will pin this property as a reference landmark within the global hospitality landscape.

“Our aim is to create the hospitality icon of the 21st Century that is within one of the world’s most exciting urban developments. Our vision is to set new standards that go beyond the borders of the hospitality industry and provide a landmark location that is instantly recognised internationally,” commented Sheikh Nawaf.

Ground-breaking for the property will be undertaken later this year while the official opening of the property is expected in early 2017. Designed by architectural firm Kling Consult, the hospitality complex will cover a total area of approximately 300,000 square meters. The revised estimated investment that includes the satellite beach-front island amounts to QAR 2.2bn.

The foundation contractor has been recently selected, whereas the operator selection as well as the appointment of remaining contractors and partners is in the final tendering stages. The process of assigning the contracts aligns to Katara Hospitality’s rigorous tendering procedures. This ensures suitable partners are assigned to cover specific areas, having emerged from in depth analysis of comparable offers against measurable criteria.

Hamad Abdulla Al Mulla, Chief Executive Officer, Katara Hospitality stated: “Progress on this iconic development is advancing swily and we are in a strong position as we move towards creating the future hospitality landmark in LusailCity.

“While we regard 2022 as a milestone in the country’s development, this new property in Lusail will also occupy a focal point for residents and travellers during the FIFA World Cup. We believe that this is our opportunity to showcase a country that has grown into an international destination and Katara Hospitality will create the landmark to underpin lifetime memories.”

Sheikh Nawaf concluded: “As Qatar National Vision 2030 creates the perfect framework for us, we will continue to develop peerless hospitality at home and abroad that are not only jewels in our portfolio, but are emblematic for Qatar as well.”

Having been at the forefront of the hospitality industry for over 40 years, Katara Hospitality has built a portfolio of iconic hotels in Qatar and key international gateways. An experienced hotel owner, developer and operator, the group has been a hospitality pioneer in Qatar. It introduced the first five star hotel with the property currently known as Doha Marrio Hotel; it launched the first internationally branded property with Sheraton Doha Resort & Convention Hotel; the Ritz-Carlton, Doha was the tallest building in Qatar at the time it opened; the first leisure destination in the country was Sealine Beach Resort; and Sharq Village & Spa was the first luxury resort in the market.

Today, Katara Hospitality’s portfolio of operating hotels and those under development has reached 26 assets globally, encompassing 6,000 rooms, while it aims to reach 30 properties by 2016 and 30 more over the following decade.
