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.

Villa in Porto Rotondo | Sardinia, Italy

Privacy is a key feature of this waterfront estate, which also offers direct access to a beach with a private sunbathing area and the possibility of a private pontoon extending into the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean. Although Porto Rotondo is a buzzy town that draws the jet set and ‘normal’ tourists alike, this villa’s setting within an expansive Mediterranean park and surrounded by one-hectare of manicured grounds gives it unparalleled seclusion in one of Sardinia’s most sought- after destinations. There are two ways to access this villa: a pedestrian path to the marina and a secondary entrance via a private road, ensuring both convenience and discretion. Opulence runs through the 5,027 sq ft of interior spaces, with living and dining areas, a kitchen, seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms completing this sanctuary of tranquillity and prestige.

Price: US$25,143,141 via Immobilsarda Srl – Christie’s International Real Estate

Villatura | Quinta Do Lago, Portugal

Located near the lake is the newly built Villatura, which has a plot size of 2,430sqm plus an additional 1,430sqm of adopted land. The four-storey residence offers 1,345sqm of living space and covered terraces as well as numerous amenities for residents to relax, entertain, and stay healthy. From three swimming pools (two outdoors and one indoors), two bar and lounge areas, and a fully equipped gym and spa to extra accommodation for guests and staff, Villatura will suit those who wish to share the finer things in life with family and friends.

The Abaco Club | Great Abaco Island, The Bahamas

With a top-ranked golf course, 3.2km stretch of pristine beach, numerous water sports, and signature events, owners of the island-inspired homes here will have much to look forward to. The homes are arranged in seven neighbourhoods: The Cays (Phase 1), The Cays Reserve, The Green, The Cliffs, The Point, The Ridge, and The Estates. The Cays Reserve is the newest, with villas situated just steps away from the ocean and nestled within a beautiful “coconut lawn.” Following a complete sellout of the first phase of The Cays, The Cays Reserve comprises 19 residences starting at $4 million USD. With no other beachfront releases planned, these 19 residences are the only chance to own steps from the water and near the heart of the club.
