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.

The Whiteley | London, England

Transformed by Foster + Partners into a landmark residential and hospitality destination, the development now introduces a new duplex by Irish interior designer Maoliosa Murray. Spanning 2,756 sq ft, the two-bedroom home features soaring six-metre ceilings and lead-arched windows that fill the interiors with natural light. Murray drew on art deco and mid-century influences to shape the apartment’s distinctive character, with many furnishings and artworks specially commissioned for the space. Residents also enjoy privileged access to Six Senses London and its facilities, alongside resident-only services including a 24-hour concierge; in-residence dining, spa, and wellness treatments; and pet care with dog-walking.

Residents will have access to an extensive range of amenities, including bespoke concierge services, refined gourmet dining, and a state-of-the-art wellness spa. Construction is slated for completion in 2028.
