A new era of elevated wellness is arriving on the shores of Ibiza this summer, as Anna Lewandowska brings her globally recognised Kick the Barre method to Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay for an exclusive three-night retreat. Taking place from 31 May to 3 June 2026, the immersive experience promises more than just fitness, it’s a full-body, mind-reset designed for the modern woman seeking strength, balance and restoration, all set against Ibiza’s effortlessly luxurious backdrop. A New Movement in Modern Wellness At the heart of the retreat is Kick the Barre, Lewandowska’s signature training concept that reimagines traditional barre. Blending the precision and elegance of ballet with the dynamic power of martial arts, the method introduces a distinctive “kick”, creating a workout that is as empowering as it is effective. Low-impact yet high-intensity, the programme focuses on core stability, muscular endurance, mobility and coordination, aligning perfectly with the growing global shift towards sustainable, body-conscious fitness. Lewandowska, a three-time world karate champion and founder of Barcelona’s Edan Studios, has built a global following through her approach to movement, one that champions strength without strain and confidence through control. As she explains: “From the very beginning, Kick the Barre has been about quality, precision, and experience. Bringing this concept to Nobu felt like a natural match. Together, we’re creating something truly special for our community.” Where Fitness Meets Barefoot Luxury Set within the refined surroundings of Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay, each day unfolds in rhythm with the island. Think sun-drenched beachfront workouts, where movement meets mindfulness, followed by moments of indulgence and restoration. Guests can expect a curated schedule of sessions including: Kick the Barre Pure – technique-led, precise and controlled Glutes – sculpting and strength-focused Total Body – fluid, full-body conditioning Strong – endurance-driven, high-energy training Beyond the studio, the retreat leans into holistic wellbeing. Mornings begin with breakfasts at Chambao by the Beach, while post-workout recovery is supported by organic juices and adaptogen blends sourced from local farms. Downtime is equally intentional, with signature spa treatments and advanced biohacking experiences designed to restore both body and mind. Ibiza, Reimagined This is not just about movement, it’s about connection. Guests will have the opportunity to explore Ibiza beyond the expected, with a guided hike through the island’s hidden landscapes, offering panoramic coastal views and a deeper sense of place. Evenings bring a shift in energy, from a signature omakase dinner at Nobu to a relaxed farewell lunch by the sea, each moment thoughtfully curated to balance wellness with pleasure.

With Watches and Wonders just weeks away, March should have been quiet. The industry’s biggest maisons typically hold back, saving their most important releases for Geneva’s global stage. But this year, something shifted. Rather than silence, we saw a tightly curated drop of timepieces that feel less like placeholders, and more like a preview of where modern watchmaking is heading. Not in one direction, but several at once. Because today’s collector isn’t one-dimensional. They’re just as drawn to quiet, architectural minimalism as they are to high complication or unapologetic spectacle. And the brands leading the conversation right now are the ones embracing that contrast. From under-the-radar technical milestones to diamond-set statements designed to be seen from across the room, these are the watches that defined March, and the pieces setting the tone before the industry’s biggest reveal. 1. Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic Alta Rosa Parmigiani Fleurier leans into understated elegance with a soft rose-toned dial that shifts beautifully in changing light. Paired with a platinum bezel and intricate guilloché detailing, it’s a masterclass in quiet luxury. 2. Greubel Forsey Balancier Convexe S² Greubel Forsey delivers the final editions of its Balancier Convexe S²—limited, sculptural, and deeply technical. For collectors, this is less a purchase and more a closing chapter. 3. Girard-Perregaux Automatic Minute Repeater Flying Bridges Girard-Perregaux enters a new era with its first in-house minute repeater—an intricate, skeletonised piece that places craftsmanship firmly on display. 4. H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Alpine Pink Edition Motorsport meets modern horology as H. Moser & Cie. reimagines its Streamliner in Alpine’s signature pink, complete with skeletonised movement and racing-inspired details. 5. Richard Mille RM 07-01 Coloured Ceramics Richard Mille pushes boundaries with coloured ceramics set with diamonds—a bold fusion of technical challenge and playful design. 6. Jacob & Co. Billionaire Double Tourbillon “Angel Cut” Jacob & Co. elevates its Billionaire with newly developed “angel-cut” diamonds, delivering a near-80-carat statement piece that redefines excess. 7. Omega Constellation Observatory Omega quietly makes history with the first two-hand watch to achieve Master Chronometer certification—innovation without the noise. 8. Breitling Navitimer B01 & B19 Releases Breitling looks to the skies with Navitimers inspired by the Concorde, blending aviation heritage with cutting-edge perpetual calendar movements.

Forget the idea that bigger always means better. In 2026, it’s smarter, more intentional design that defines true luxury at sea, and this 85-foot catamaran concept by NAR Design proves exactly that. At first glance, it’s the space that sets it apart. With a beam stretching close to 36 feet, almost double that of a traditional monohull of the same length, the yacht delivers a sense of openness rarely seen at this size. The result is not just more room, but a completely different way of living on the water. Inside, over 1,800 square feet of interiors unfold in a calm, contemporary palette, where soft neutrals meet darker architectural lines and metallic accents. Floor-to-ceiling glazing replaces conventional windows, drawing in natural light and uninterrupted ocean views, while the open-plan layout blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. But this is a yacht designed with one person in mind: the owner. A full private deck is dedicated entirely to them—an increasingly sought-after feature typically reserved for far larger superyachts. Complete with its own entrance, lounge, bar, walk-in wardrobe, office, and expansive en suite, it offers something far more valuable than space: privacy. The ability to retreat, to host, or to switch off entirely, without compromise. Outside, the experience becomes even more compelling. More than 3,200 square feet of exterior living space transforms the vessel into a floating resort. At the stern, a sprawling beach club takes centre stage, complete with a pool, fold-down terraces, and a swim platform that brings guests closer to the water than ever before. Elsewhere, a relaxed bow lounge and elevated sundeck bar create multiple moments for entertaining, unwinding, or simply taking in the horizon. Performance hasn’t been overlooked either. With a cruising speed of around 16 knots and a top speed exceeding 20, the concept aligns with expectations for this class, while discreet additions such as rooftop solar panels hint at a more considered, future-facing approach to energy use. Perhaps most importantly, the design is entirely flexible. Future owners are given the freedom to tailor both layout and technical specifications, ensuring the yacht becomes a true reflection of their lifestyle. Because that’s exactly what this catamaran represents. Not just a shift in design, but a shift in mindset. One where space is personal, privacy is paramount, and luxury is no longer about excess, but about how seamlessly a yacht fits the way you actually want to live.

Space is the ultimate luxury in central London, and it’s exactly what makes this newly listed Kensington mansion so exceptional. Set on the prestigious Queen’s Gate, this six-storey Victorian residence spans more than 14,500 square feet, an almost unheard-of footprint for a single home in this part of London. Now on the market for $32 million (approximately £25 million), the property offers a rare combination: historic architecture, modern infrastructure and sheer scale in one of the capital’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. Why Size Matters in Prime London In areas like South Kensington, where grand townhouses dominate, homes of this magnitude are exceptionally scarce. Many properties have been divided into flats over time, making a fully intact, single-residence mansion of this size a rarity. This particular home has been reimagined for contemporary living, having been stripped back and rebuilt within the last decade. The result is a seamless blend of period elegance and modern convenience, from high ceilings and intricate plasterwork to integrated smart home systems and discreet service spaces. Designed to Feel Like a Private Estate Inside, the home unfolds across multiple levels with a layout that mirrors a private estate more than a traditional townhouse. A grand entrance hall, complete with lift access and a sweeping staircase, leads to a series of formal and informal living spaces. A dining room, drawing room and morning room all overlook a private courtyard garden, an increasingly rare feature in central London. The first floor is dedicated to entertaining, with a full-width double reception room featuring parquet flooring, a statement fireplace and tall arched doors opening onto twin balconies. A Rare Level of Accommodation Across the upper floors, the property offers nine bedrooms, including a standout principal suite complete with a marble fireplace, a boutique-style dressing room and a spa-like en suite with a freestanding bath. Each guest bedroom is en suite, with many retaining original fireplaces, adding character to the otherwise contemporary interiors. In addition, an interconnected mews house provides two further bedrooms, an open-plan living space and a private entrance, making it ideal for guests, staff or extended family. Wellness, Privacy and Below-Ground Living Where the home truly distinguishes itself is below ground. A private cinema room with bar seating, a secondary kitchen, pantry and playroom occupy the lower ground floor, while the level beneath is dedicated entirely to wellness. Here, you’ll find a gym, indoor pool, sauna and steam room, bringing a private members’ club experience into the home. One of Kensington’s Most Exclusive Addresses Positioned within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Queen’s Gate has long been synonymous with architectural grandeur and prime London living. But even here, opportunities like this are few and far between. For buyers seeking scale, privacy and turnkey design in central London, this property doesn’t just tick boxes, it sets a new benchmark.

The Orient Express is continuing its expansion beyond the rails, and its latest move may be its most impressive yet. Now open in Venice, Orient Express Venezia brings the brand’s signature glamour to one of Italy’s most historic palazzos, marking its second hotel launch in the country. Set within the 15th-century Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in the quieter Cannaregio district, the property offers a more private, residential feel, while still delivering the theatricality synonymous with the Orient Express name. A Historic Palazzo, Reimagined Originally built in 1436, the palazzo has been transformed into a hotel for the first time in nearly 600 years. The redesign, led by architect and interior designer Aline Asmar d’Amman, carefully balances preservation with modern luxury. Original frescoes, carved detailing and patinated walls have been restored, while contemporary materials, moiré silks, embossed leathers and natural stone—introduce a refined, layered aesthetic. Arrival sets the tone: guests enter via a Gothic water gate, stepping directly from the canal into what was once an internal courtyard, now reimagined as a richly dressed lounge complete with velvet seating and Murano glass chandeliers. A standout feature is the hotel’s hidden garden, offering a rare moment of calm in Venice, with lantern-lit spaces designed for private dining and relaxed evenings. Rooms That Reflect Venetian Grandeur The hotel houses 47 rooms, suites and residences, each individually designed to reflect the building’s heritage. The six Signature Suites, spanning up to 1,560 square feet, are the most striking, featuring restored 19th-century frescoes, marble fireplaces and grand salon-style living spaces. High ceilings and large windows frame views across the canals and gardens, reinforcing the sense of staying within a private Venetian residence. Dining, Cocktails and Wellness Dining is led by Heinz Beck, who brings his signature precision to the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant. A more relaxed offering is available at La Casati, while the Wagon Bar draws inspiration from the original Orient Express carriages, pairing Art Deco interiors with classic cocktails and Venetian cicchetti. The hotel also features a spa inspired by ancient Roman thermal rituals, alongside a grand ballroom designed for private events and celebrations. Orient Express Expands in Italy The Venice opening follows the brand’s Rome debut in 2025 and forms part of a wider strategy to position Italy at the centre of its evolving hospitality portfolio, which now spans trains, hotels and upcoming yacht experiences. With Orient Express Venezia, the brand delivers exactly what today’s luxury traveller is looking for: heritage, privacy, and a sense of place, without compromising on design or experience.

There are destinations that feel remote, and then there are places that feel almost untouched by time. Set high on a mist-laced ridge above the ancient canopy of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Silverback Lodge occupies one of the most extraordinary positions in modern travel. This is a landscape defined not by spectacle, but by stillness: dense rainforest stretching endlessly into the distance, birdsong cutting through the quiet, and somewhere within it, nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Now, following a complete rebuild and global relaunch, Silverback is positioning itself as something more than a safari lodge. It is a statement on what luxury travel can, and arguably should, look like in one of the world’s most critical conservation environments. A Front-Row Seat to One of the World’s Rarest Wildlife Encounters Positioned just minutes from the Buhoma trailhead, Silverback offers direct access to one of the most tightly protected wildlife experiences on Earth. Gorilla trekking here is not a casual excursion. It is carefully controlled, with strict permits, limited group sizes, and expert rangers guiding each step, ensuring both guest safety and the long-term protection of these critically endangered animals. The result is something profoundly rare: the opportunity to stand just metres away from a mountain gorilla family, observing them in silence within their natural habitat. It’s an experience that stays with you, not because it’s dramatic, but because of its quiet intensity. And importantly, it’s one where tourism actively contributes to conservation, funding protection programmes and supporting local communities that safeguard this fragile ecosystem. Rebuilt With Purpose Silverback’s relaunch marks a complete reimagining of the property. Operated by Marasa Africa, a family-led East African hospitality group with more than four generations of heritage, the lodge has been entirely rebuilt with a lighter environmental footprint and a contemporary African architectural language that allows the forest to remain the focal point. There are just 12 guest rooms, each designed to feel intentionally private, with expansive terraces that open directly onto the rainforest canopy. Interiors are understated and considered, blending natural materials with modern detailing in a way that feels both grounded and quietly luxurious. It’s not about excess. It’s about connection. A Slower, More Considered Kind of Luxury Beyond the trekking, Silverback leans into a more reflective pace. Dining is relaxed and locally inspired, designed to complement the rhythm of the environment rather than interrupt it. Communal spaces are intentionally quiet—places to read, pause, or simply take in the view. And then there is Wellnest , the lodge’s nature-led spa concept, created specifically with post-trek recovery in mind. After hours spent navigating forest trails, it offers a moment of restoration that feels entirely in tune with the surroundings. This is luxury stripped back to its most meaningful elements: space, privacy, and the ability to be fully present. A New Chapter for Conservation-Led Travel Silverback’s relaunch signals something larger than the reopening of a lodge. It reflects a growing shift within the luxury travel space, one that prioritises responsibility alongside experience, and recognises that access to places like Bwindi comes with a duty to protect them. Here, conservation is not a narrative. It is built into every aspect of the experience, from the design of the lodge to the structure of the trekking programmes. For guests, that means something increasingly rare: the chance to experience one of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes, knowing their presence contributes to its future. Rates: From approximately $2,100 per night (low season) and $3,360 (high season), based on two adults sharing, full-board. Excludes gorilla permits, park fees, activities and spa.

There’s a certain shift that happens as spring arrives. Evenings stretch a little longer, plans feel lighter, and suddenly, a well-made drink becomes part of the ritual again, whether that’s hosting friends in the garden, pouring something cold after work, or leaning into a more considered, slow-sipping moment. This season’s cocktail mood? A balance of elevated and effortless. Think one or two indulgent serves worth savouring, paired with easy, no-fuss options you can throw together without breaking the flow of a good evening. Here’s what we’re drinking now. The Indulgent One: A Spring Old Fashioned, Reimagined If there’s one drink that feels like a quiet luxury moment, it’s this. The Hibiki Harmony Strawberry Sakura Old Fashioned takes the structure of a classic and softens it for spring, layering delicate floral notes with a subtle sweetness that doesn’t overpower the whisky’s depth. It’s refined, slightly unexpected, and exactly the kind of serve you bring out when you want to impress without saying too much. Ingredients: 50ml Hibiki Japanese Harmony 10ml strawberry cordial (or cherry blossom syrup) 2 dashes Angostura bitters Method: Stir over ice, strain into a glass with a large cube or sphere, and garnish with a strawberry slice (and cherry blossom if you’re feeling extra). Available at Waitrose, Selfridges and The Whisky Exchange | RRP: £75–£89 The Effortless Classic: The Highball That Does It All Clean, crisp, and quietly cool, the Toki Highball is having a moment, and for good reason. With Japanese listening bar culture continuing to influence London’s drinking scene, this serve feels culturally relevant without trying too hard. It’s light, refreshing, and almost impossible to get wrong, making it ideal for hosting when you don’t want to be stuck behind the bar. Ingredients: 35ml Suntory Toki Whisky 150ml chilled soda water Grapefruit twist Method: Fill a tall glass with ice, add the whisky, top with soda, and give it a gentle stir from bottom to top. Available at Tesco, Amazon and The Whisky Exchange | RRP: £31–£40 The Hosting Hero: Zero Effort, Maximum Crowd Appeal Every good host needs a cheat code, and this is it. Jim Beam and lemonade is simple, nostalgic, and surprisingly effective when done well. Served in a jug with plenty of ice and fresh lemon, it becomes the kind of drink that keeps everyone topped up while you actually enjoy your own party. Ingredients: 35ml Jim Beam White Label (or scale up for a pitcher) Lemonade Fresh lemon slices Method: Build over ice, stir, and serve. That’s it. Available at Tesco and Amazon | RRP: £20–£25 (often on offer) The Twist: A Paloma, But Warmer, Brighter, Better The Cuban Paloma is what happens when a classic gets a little more personality. Swapping tequila for rum brings a softer, more rounded flavour, while pink grapefruit keeps things sharp and refreshing. The Tajín rim adds just enough edge to make it feel considered—without losing that easy-drinking appeal. Ingredients: 50ml Ron Santiago de Cuba Carta Blanca 25ml fresh lime juice 5ml agave syrup Pink grapefruit soda Method: Rim the glass with Tajín, build over ice, top with soda, and stir. Available at The Whisky Exchange | RRP: £21–£24 The Budget-Friendly Crowd-Pleaser: Tropical, Easy, Done Not every drink needs to be serious. The Jim Beam Pineapple Highball leans into fun, sweet, refreshing, and perfect for those moments when you just want something that tastes like sunshine without overthinking it. Ingredients: 35ml Jim Beam Pineapple Lemonade (or soda) Method: Pour over ice, stir, garnish with lime or pineapple, and you’re done. Available at Asda | RRP: £15.50 The Aperitivo Alternative: Not Your Usual Spritz If you’re over the standard orange spritz, this is your upgrade. The Santiago Spritz brings a fresher, slightly more complex profile—balancing honeyed sweetness with lime and a clean soda finish. It’s lighter than it looks, and ideal for those early evening drinks that turn into something longer. Ingredients: 50ml Ron Santiago de Cuba Añejo 8 Year Old 40ml honey syrup 20ml fresh lime juice Soda water Method: Build over ice, top with soda, stir lightly, and serve. Available at Tesco and Waitrose | RRP: £20–£25

There are yachts designed for stillness, anchored in the Med, drifting between beach clubs and long lunches, and then there are yachts built to move. To discover. To go where almost nothing else does. Solace  belongs firmly in the latter. The 187-foot Feadship superyacht is currently undertaking a years-long global expedition, a journey that trades predictable cruising grounds for some of the most remote and rarely accessed waters on Earth. And, unusually, it’s not reserved solely for its owner. Select guests can step on board for week-long legs of what is being called the Solace Odyssey , a voyage that spans everything from the Canadian Arctic’s Northwest Passage to the untouched islands of Papua New Guinea’s Bismarck Archipelago. This is not travel as spectacle. It’s travel with intent. Encounters You Can’t Simply Book The journey began in Dominica, but even here, the experience was anything but expected. Guests slipped into the water and found themselves within metres of giant sperm whales, watching them glide, circle, and communicate in their natural environment. These are the kinds of encounters that typically require years of planning and permits. Here, they unfold as part of a wider narrative. On board, exploration is layered with meaning. A dedicated cabin has been reserved for scientists and researchers, bringing a deeper dimension to each destination. On this particular voyage, a specialist studying sperm whale communication joined the trip, transforming post-dinner conversations into something closer to a private lecture series, driven by curiosity rather than itinerary. Built for the Edges of the Map With a range of 4,500 miles, advanced forward sonar, and the ability to operate автономously for up to a month, Solace  is engineered for the kind of travel most yachts simply aren’t designed to attempt. Its tenders—purpose-built for exploration, extend that reach even further, allowing guests to move seamlessly from superyacht comfort to remote shoreline discovery. This is a vessel that doesn’t follow routes. It creates them. A Different Kind of Luxury And yet, for all its technical capability, Solace  never loses sight of what luxury should feel like. Following a major refit, the interiors lean into understated elegance, mid-century silhouettes paired with contemporary pieces from Liaigre and Holly Hunt. Spaces feel intentional rather than excessive, refined without being overworked. The details, however, are anything but subtle. A glass-fronted sauna opens directly onto the ocean, offering the rare thrill of stepping from heat into polar waters. A forward Jacuzzi and cold plunge pool frame some of the world’s most dramatic scenery. There’s an enclosable bridge deck for all-weather comfort, a floating inflatable dock, and a full suite of wellness offerings, including onboard therapists. Even in the most remote corners of the world, the experience remains resolutely seven-star. Exploration, Reimagined At its core, Solace  represents a shift in what yachting can be. This is not about ticking destinations off a list or circling familiar coastlines. It’s about accessing the inaccessible, understanding the unfamiliar, and doing so without compromising on comfort or design. A superyacht, yes, but one with purpose. And for those invited on board, it offers something increasingly rare in modern luxury: the feeling that you are part of something genuinely extraordinary, unfolding in real time. https://www.feadship.nl

At this point, Formula 1 is not just a sport. It is a social calendar moment, a style spectacle, a hospitality arms race and, for the lucky few, one of the most glamorous weekends of the summer. Now, Silverstone is leaning fully into that reality with The Vale, a new ultra-premium experience launching for the 2026 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, positioned just steps from the Formula 1 paddock with views over the pit entry and the circuit’s final corners. Silverstone is describing it as its most elevated hospitality tier yet, with access strictly limited and entry by waitlist only. Silverstone’s answer to the luxury hospitality boom If recent years have proved anything, it is that today’s Grand Prix guest wants far more than a seat with a view. They want privacy, polish, atmosphere and the kind of access that feels impossible to replicate elsewhere. That is exactly the space The Vale is designed to occupy. Launching as part of the British Grand Prix weekend from 3 to 5 July 2026, The Vale sits in one of the most charged positions on the circuit, close enough to feel fully immersed in the action while offering a far more refined way to experience it. According to Silverstone, the space has been created to preserve quality, privacy and intimacy, with design that blends motorsport heritage and modern British luxury. And visually, it sounds every bit the part. Expect clean-lined interiors, expansive terraces, flowing spaces that connect dining rooms and private suites to the track itself, and uninterrupted sightlines over one of the most dramatic sections of the course. More members’ club than motorsport grandstand What makes The Vale feel interesting is that it is not being pitched as traditional race-day hospitality at all. Silverstone is framing it more like an exclusive club layered over one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Guests can expect dedicated VIP access, the option to arrive by chauffeur or helicopter, and a programme built around Michelin-curated menus, sommelier-led drinks, premium bars and curated DJ sets across the weekend. Silverstone also says there will be invitation-only after-hours elements, pushing the whole experience further into private-members-club territory than classic sporting hospitality. In other words, this is for the crowd who want the thrill of Formula 1 without giving up the comforts of a beautifully considered luxury experience. The stay doesn’t have to end trackside For those making a full weekend of it, Silverstone’s wider hospitality offering already includes high-end accommodation options such as Escapade Silverstone, alongside glamping and other premium stay formats around the circuit. That means The Vale can be part of a much bigger British Grand Prix escape, rather than simply a one-day ticket upgrade. And that is arguably where the appeal lies. Formula 1 weekends have become immersive by nature. Nobody really wants to dip in and out anymore. They want the full world: the build-up, the trackside energy, the dinners, the music, the people, the late nights and the stories afterwards. Why everyone will be talking about The Vale Silverstone is already one of the most iconic stops on the F1 calendar, but The Vale feels like a very clear signal of where luxury sport hospitality is heading next. Less corporate box, more curated lifestyle experience. Less watching from a distance, more feeling embedded in the moment. Only those who join the waitlist will be invited to book, and pricing is available on application. If the British Grand Prix was already one of the chicest weekends on the British summer calendar, The Vale is set to make it even harder to do last-minute or do casually. Because this is not simply about watching the race. It is about arriving beautifully, being exactly where the action is, and experiencing Formula 1 in a way that feels polished, private and just exclusive enough to make everyone else ask how you got in.

There is a certain confidence to launching a new ultra-luxury waterfront development just moments from one that has already shattered records. But then, Edgeworth is not trying to arrive quietly. The latest project from billionaire developer Stephen Ross’s Related Ross, Edgeworth is set to bring a new level of refinement to West Palm Beach’s increasingly coveted waterfront, with two sculptural 28-storey towers, sweeping Intracoastal and Atlantic views, and the sort of wellness-led amenities that have become essential at the very top of the market. Set along South Flagler Drive, the new address follows the remarkable success of South Flagler House, the neighbouring development that became the first condominium project in West Palm Beach to surpass $1 billion in sales. But where that scheme proved the market was ready, Edgeworth feels designed to build on that momentum with a softer, more lifestyle-driven sense of luxury. A new waterfront address with Riviera influences Edgeworth will comprise 168 residences ranging from one- to five-bedroom homes, in addition to nine penthouses, all designed to maximise light, outlook and that effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle buyers increasingly expect from prime coastal living. The project’s architecture comes from Kohn Pedersen Fox, while interiors are being handled by MAWD | March and White Design, with the homes expected to embrace a refined, Riviera-inspired aesthetic. That design language feels fitting for a city that is evolving fast. West Palm Beach has become one of Florida’s most closely watched luxury markets, not only because of its waterfront setting, but because it is attracting a new wave of affluent buyers who want polish, privacy and proximity without sacrificing space or ease. Edgeworth appears to speak directly to that mood. Wellness, space and the new definition of luxury As with most top-tier developments now, the lifestyle offering is central to the sell. At Edgeworth, residents will have access to more than 90,000 square feet of amenities, with a strong emphasis on wellness and everyday living rather than purely decorative grandeur. That is very much where luxury real estate is heading: less about excess for the sake of it, and more about how beautifully a home supports the life lived inside it. The expansive terraces, water-facing orientation and resort-style amenity package all suggest a development that understands exactly what today’s buyers are after. This is the kind of property pitched not simply as somewhere to stay, but somewhere to retreat, entertain and properly exhale. West Palm Beach’s luxury rise shows no sign of slowing Edgeworth also arrives at a moment when West Palm Beach is continuing its transformation into a serious luxury and financial hub. Reporting around the project notes that since 2020, the city has drawn more than 250 financial firms, while high-end home values have risen sharply over the past decade. That momentum has fuelled demand for new waterfront residences at a level that would have felt ambitious only a few years ago. Pricing at Edgeworth is set to start from $2.5 million, with larger residences rising well beyond that, and construction is expected to begin in 2027, with completion targeted for 2029. The Life of Luxury view What makes Edgeworth compelling is not simply the scale of the scheme or the pedigree of the team behind it, though both are considerable. It is what the project says about West Palm Beach itself. This is no longer a market playing supporting role to Palm Beach. It is increasingly becoming a destination in its own right for buyers who want waterfront glamour, elevated design and the kind of contemporary luxury that feels as good as it looks. And Edgeworth, with its curved towers, sweeping views and quietly confident approach, is arriving at exactly the right moment. https://www.relatedross.com/

The Oscars may be Hollywood’s biggest night, but for fashion lovers, it is just as much about the red carpet as the awards themselves. And this year’s arrivals gave us exactly what we want from the Academy Awards: proper glamour, a little drama, polished tailoring and those standout looks you instantly want to save for reference. Rather than simply listing who wore what, these are the looks that truly lingered in our minds after the flashbulbs faded. 1. Jessie Buckley in Chanel 2. Demi Moore in Louis Vuitton 3.
