In this issue

In this special summer 2016 issue of PALACE, we look to our neighbours and review some of what we think are the best places to own waterfront property in Asia. From Dubai to Lombok, Bangkok to Boracay, we give an in depth review of the market, what new launches are taking place and why we believe you need to be there. Outside of Asia, we head to the Caribbean nation of Cuba. In the latest pivot in politics in the region, Cuba appears to be opening up. With it comes a whole new wave of visitors looking to invest in property. Could it be the next hottest market in the region?

At PALACE we’re not only interested in the markets, we’re interested in design and being a waterfront special, we showcase some of the latest concepts and designs in the world of floating homes and marina living. For many, living near the water is not only about making a good investment, it’s a lifestyle choice. Across the globe, architects, developers and city planners are working together to create new spaces to meet this growing demand.

Through a new series, we’ll be looking into the top countries offering visas for investment. Part One takes us to the USA, where we will educate you on all you need to know about investing in the country and a hot new project that fits all the EB – 5 visa requirements.

We also meet the people behind Burgess as they introduce busy families to the joys of the yachting experience in Asia. The head of Maison Ayala, Hadrien Mouflard drops by to discuss all things champagne and we meet Omega CEO Stephen Urquhart in Los Angeles to discusses having the Globemaster reaching a new benchmark.

Please enjoy our latest Issue - Palace 16, a very unique Waterfront Living Special.
