Presenting the hottest properties for another home away from home
There are beautiful homes, and there are inimitably spectacular ones. The perfect abode, in our definition, is one that laps up magnificent city skyline or ocean views, with a capacious terrace and a slew of posh (and exclusive) facilities and amenities for residents to enjoy. Here, we’ve compiled a list of luxury real estate listings from around the world that seem to have it all–all you have to do is pick and choose.
Etro Residences Phuket | Thailand

Owners will have a choice of apartment sizes, ranging from three- bedroom units to duplexes, with interiors dressed in bold patterns, rich textures, and a sophisticated colour palette. In addition, special pieces from the Etro Home Interiors collection, made in collaboration with Oniro Group, will adorn the apartments and common areas of the complex.

Villa in Banjar Siyut | Bali, Indonesia
Imagine taking a dip in an infinity pool, where all you’ll see are lush vegetation and mountains beyond, and the only thing you’ll hear is the sound of birdsong. This is what awaits the new owner of this six-bedroom house, which sits on 0.13 hectares of land and has a built-up area of 1,500sqm. The house was designed by the renowned Gary Fell of GFAB Architects, while landscape designer and horticulturalist Anton Clark of Bali Landscape Company brought his signature touch to the well-manicured gardens that surround the property. Residents can relax on the outdoor furniture by OT Design and admire the sculptures by Austrian artist Mario Dalpra. The interiors of the house feature more art pieces, this time by the Indonesian painter, Ida Bagus Indra. There are three kitchens and 11 bathrooms, with appliances and fittings from top names such as Gaggenau, Rational, Hoshizaki, Philippe Starck, Kohler, Grohe, Franke and Midea. Plus, the house boasts a convenient location; it’s only 20 minutes from Ubud and 40 minutes from I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport.
