In this issue

Our waterfront-themed issue follows us through to all different corners of the world seeking the best and most stunning waterfront properties.

Market Roundup encompasses three prime waterfront locations in Europe for investors to consider. The French Riviera, Italian Riviera, and Costa del Sol are all being recognised for their value this year, receiving plenty of attention from wealthy Asian-based tourists and investors alike.

Our Features section covers the many eco-friendly resorts combining luxury and sustainability surrounded by the lush greenery of the Philippines, as well as what it would be like to live on a vineyard outside of San Francisco, sipping your own wine whilst overlooking the wine country views California has to offer.

In this issue's Special Report, we take you all over some of the world’s best waterfront locations from a beachfront villa in Phuket to a sleek penthouse unit overlooking a bay in Victoria, Canada. There is truly a location for everyone, many of which will also guarantee good returns!

Our Residences section offers an extensive list of inspiring high-end projects located in city centres of socioeconomic activity around the world. Malaysia and Thailand never fail to showcase the most dramatic and luxurious residences with Le Nouvel KLCC in Kuala Lumpur and Saladaeng One in Bangkok, and London’s property market is also represented through One Blackfriars in Southwark.

Whether you’re into wheels or wings, Lifestyle provides you with features on Aston Martin’s latest model DB11 on the ground, and Dassault’s sleek Falcon 8X in the air. With a bonus profile on custom-designed jewellery with Infiniti Jewels, this section covers all interests and entrances in the luxury world.

Small, Pricey, But Extraordinarily Beautiful Investment Locales

Fresh from my trip to Santorini, Greece, I was reminded of an interesting investment theme about property investment stretching beyond a location’s size or borders. As usual in my columns, I will discuss the investors’ side of the game rather than a location’s tourist appeal though they go hand in hand for identifying a quality investment.
