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.

Bvlgari Mansions Abu Dhabi | United Arab Emirates

There will be 90 mansions with areas ranging from 1,650sqm to 2,500sqm, with some having their own docks that can accommodate boats with a length of up to 82ft. All mansions will offer spectacular views of the sea, city, or private cove, with a design blending contemporary international architecture with local influences. There will also be eight estates with direct access to private beaches. Developed in collaboration with Abu Dhabi-based real estate group Eagle Hills, the project will be brought to life by renowned Milanese firm ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, and landscape studio LAND.
