Majestic Jade Mountain

Surrounded by the stunning scenic beauty that is St Lucia, Jade Mountain reaches up toward blue skies above Anse Chastanet, the 600 acre beachfront resort below.

Created as a cornucopia of organic architecture, by owner and architect Nick Troubetzkoy, the Jade Mountain resort is built in harmony with Caribbean nature, with natural stone columns and open plan spaces that flow seamlessly from indoor to outdoor areas.

Out on vast sweeping sundecks, a mesmerizing Caribbean Sea panorama awaits to be enjoyed from a luxurious day bed, sun loungers, or the cool waters of a private infinity pool.

Bedroom and living areas know no boundaries, encouraging a relaxed flow to the apartments, just like the laid back beautiful island itself.

The Jade Mountain apartments have been designed as a sanctuary for vacationers, and so have been finished in a deliberately technology-free manner, harboring no noisy televisions or radios, and even no telephones. This might sound a little scary to those of you immersed in the fast flow of the modern world but don’t fret, apparently internet access is available! Personally we love the idea of being whisked away from the week-to-week madness of a continually buzzing and beeping influx of daily grind, how about you?

Super Luxury Singapore Apartment With In-Room Car Parking

Car enthusiasts will adore the hi-tech Hamilton apartments, situated on swanky Orchard Road in Singapore, that come complete with integrated showcase-style car parking area, which you can admire right from your living room armchair!

Thanks to specially designed elevators, it is possible to transport your precious vehicle from street level to one of the upper level dwellings after completing a biometric security check of fingerprint or iris scan. Because one parking space just isn’t enough, an apartment with two parking spaces will cost you a cool 7.5 million dollars, or you could go the whole hog and house four precious engines in a penthouse suite at a grand total of $24 million.

In a city where car parking space is severely limited, Singapore’s superfluous supercar owners think the expense is worth it, allowing them to keep a watchful gaze over their pricey rides, with the bonus of being able to admire them–and have their guests admire them–from the comfort of the living area.

The 30-storey skyscraper made up of 56 apartments was built by KOP Properties, who not only enable homeowners to admire their car despite being 100 meters above the ground with what developers have dubbed ‘ensuite garages’, but have also included swimming pools, play pools, jacuzzis and a gym.
