LIFESTYLE

There’s something special about hosting in a space that’s been carefully designed. It’s not just the sleek finishes or the soaring ceilings—it’s how the space makes people feel when they walk through the door. If you’re lucky enough to call one of these luxury homes your own, entertaining becomes more than an obligation. It’s an experience you get to craft from the ground up.

For those looking to purchase truly extraordinary real estate, two options stand out above the rest: the private island and the urban penthouse. They couldn’t be more different—and that’s exactly the point. Both promise exclusivity, luxury, and a lifestyle most can only dream of, but they offer it in very different ways. So, which one suits your vision of the good life?

While some travellers like to follow the heat when the temperatures dip, we know that others like to embrace the cold in the most elegant way possible. From alpine villages to remote snowy peaks, winter escapes offer a refined kind of luxury—one made of roaring fires, crisp mountain air, and velvet-covered lounge chairs with views you can’t buy at the beach. If you’re thinking about trading sunscreen for snow boots, these destinations are worth the frostbite.

Hosting a luxury party is about more than just opening the doors to your beautiful home – it’s about crafting an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s a sophisticated cocktail soirée, a celebratory dinner, or an intimate weekend with close friends, entertaining in high-end spaces calls for a blend of comfort, elegance, and intention.

When it comes to owning luxury real estate, the options are as limitless as the lifestyles they support. Two of the most coveted choices in the high-end market — private islands and urban penthouses — represent the pinnacle of two vastly different ways of living.

Whether you're hosting an extravagant garden party or enjoying an intimate family dinner under the stars, the right setup ensures every gathering feels effortless and refined.
