For a UK based self-catering holiday with a difference check out Beach Retreats. They look after fabulous finished properties on the north coast of Cornwall, including stunning apartments in Watergate Bay, I checked them out last weekend to experience truly 21st century beachside living. They are currently promoting their collaboration with a holiday concierge service – the idea is that visitors have their every need and ‘diva like’ whim catered for. I was impressed upon arrival- after a stressful week at work and a late evening flight it was great to discover a fridge full of local Cornish delicacies and a perfectly chilled bottle of English wine!

A stunning new development, Istana Phuket, has just been launched. Set on a breath-taking 24 acre site overlooking pristine Naithon Beach on the North-west corner of Phuket Island, the project has already been given the accolade of “Top Ten Luxury Project” by Asia’s most respected industry publications. Named Istana after the Sanskrit term for Palace, the guiding principal behind every design element of the Istana Phuket is the word FOO - which literally stands for Feeling of Opulence. The Istana Phuket development is made up of nineteen estates with un-beatable views across the Andaman Sea. Each plot ranges between 1,600 and 3,200 square metres and is designed to blend seamlessly with the rain forest environment, offering a sense of total tranquillity.
When it comes to the interior design there is also no expense spared and innovations include:
• Sixteen-seat dinner tables and home cinemas
• Italian Poliform kitchens and wardrobes
• Lutron Hone Information Systems to give owners total control of the interior environment and allow them to summon staff from anywhere in the villa.
• Huge back kitchen areas that can cater for social parties with up to a hundred guests
• Home gymnasiums
• Finely wrought stone and timber floors, Italian cabinetry and joinery,
• Exquisite art works and the best of contemporary furniture
• Southern Italian Travertine marble finishing
• Separate au pair and staff quarters
• Walk-in wine cellars in some of the villas
Each Istana villa also has a bespoke cocktail station and bar, catering for up to 150 guests, complete with hand-crafted bar equipment and a unique signature cocktail list.
As a testament to the estates popularity, nine of the opulent 4 to 6 bedroom villa estates have sold immediately and the remaining ten are for sale starting at just over £2 million or €2.3 Million.
