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.
Laguna Beach Residences Bayside | Phuket, Thailand
Designed around the concept of an island lifestyle, this development is located near the world-renowned Bangtao Beach, which is at the heart of the Laguna Phuket integrated resort, as well as Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket and Cassia Phuket.

The buildings are separated by a canal and residents can access Laguna Phuket’s offerings via the resort’s lagoon boats. Footbridges between the buildings act as another linkage point. The residences feature sleek, contemporary designs and large balconies, with units on the ground floor offering direct pool access. The penthouses have their own rooftop pools and decks. Floor areas range from 73sqm to 359sqm. Homeowners will enjoy benefits, such as access to The Sanctuary Club, which offers privileges across a global network of more than 90 luxury properties.

Chalet Le Beule | Haute Savoie, France
Built in the 18th century, this idyllic farmhouse has been completely renovated to modern-day standards. It comprises two structures: a main house and a mazot (a small, traditional wooden building). The main house has three levels and an interior space of 304sqm, while the 18sqm mazot could be used as a guest house as it has its own bedroom with bathroom, a living room with dining area, and a balcony. The renovation works, which were done in 2022, added a wellness suite (with hammam and jacuzzi), a ski room, and an outdoor spa. Chalet Le Beule is located in an enchanting Alpine village-turned-ski resort called Le Grand-Bornand in the heart of the French Prealps.
