By the time you arrive in Inverness (no, not that one) , a small coastal town on Canada's Cape Breton Island , the hum of everyday life has already faded. There are no fast-moving highways or glittering city lights, just sea air, open skies, and a sense of pace that slows almost immediately. It’s in this remote corner of Canada that Cabot Cape Breton has quietly established itself as one of the world’s most distinctive golf resorts - but it’s not only golfers making the journey. The resort began with a single course, Cabot Links, a true links layout that hugs the coastline and mirrors the movement of the sea. Then came Cabot Cliffs, carved into the rugged cliffs with breathtaking ambition and now regularly ranked among the best golf courses on the planet. Together, they offer 36 holes that feel both elemental and elegant -less a manmade challenge, more a collaboration with the land. But even for non-golfers, Cabot Cape Breton delivers something rare: a sense of luxury rooted in landscape, not opulence. The main lodge - a timber-framed, design-conscious building set just behind the dunes - blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Inside, it’s all about clean lines, natural textures, and views that do the decorating for you. Rooms are fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, rainfall showers, and thoughtful touches like L’Occitane amenities and espresso machines, but it’s the stillness just outside the door that makes them special. For longer stays or more private escapes, Cabot’s villas and homes are quietly spectacular. The Golf Villas, designed by award-winning Canadian architect Omar Gandhi, feature open-plan living spaces, deep freestanding tubs, and outdoor fireplaces made for end-of-day unwinding. Elsewhere, the Hillside Homes and Cliffs Residences offer up to five bedrooms, full kitchens, and sweeping terraces overlooking both fairways and ocean. Nothing feels flashy, but everything has been considered. Cabot’s restaurants continue the same thread of understated refinement. Panorama, the resort’s flagship, serves fresh Atlantic seafood and local ingredients with clean, coastal precision. Cabot Bar is more relaxed - a place to swap stories post-round or settle in with a whisky flight. The Barn, tucked beside the practice area, has a more rustic charm, while Whit’s Public House nods to the convivial warmth of a classic Nova Scotian pub. Wherever you eat, the food is elevated but unpretentious, the service quietly assured. Outside of golf, the resort encourages connection with the surrounding nature: coastal hikes, fly fishing, whale watching, even just a walk along the beach with nowhere to be. The Nest, Cabot’s 10-hole par-three short course, offers a more casual way to enjoy the sport, whether you’re easing into the game or just chasing golden hour with a glass of something cold in hand. What makes Cabot Cape Breton feel so different is its sense of place. This isn’t luxury in the traditional, overly serviced sense. It’s luxury in the rhythm of the tides, the texture of timber underfoot, the way the wind shapes your thoughts on a walk. Everything is quiet, but nothing is accidental. For UK travellers willing to cross the Atlantic for something a little wilder, a little more meaningful, this stretch of Canadian coast is a remarkable reward. It takes effort to get here - a flight into Halifax, followed by a three-hour scenic drive - but then again, most things worth experiencing do. https://cabotcapebreton.com/

The Ellinikon / Riviera Tower In a world where five-star experiences are expected at every turn, the lines between luxury hospitality and private living have never been more blurred. Once the domain of high-end hotels, world-renowned names like Raffles, Four Seasons and One&Only are now emblazoned not just on resort signage, but on the keys to some of the most coveted homes in the world. Welcome to the era of branded residences, where home feels like the penthouse suite. These aren't just properties. They're lifestyles. And behind many of them is Rhodium , the discreet yet powerful advisory and operations firm quietly orchestrating the everyday magic of the ultra-prime residential world. Where Luxury Lives Now Branded residences are not new, but their rapid global ascent is rewriting the playbook on what it means to own a luxury home. From Mayfair to the Middle East, these residences offer more than just bricks and mortar—they promise a level of service, prestige, and trust that mirrors their hotel counterparts. “Ultra-high-net-worth individuals are no longer content with just owning property—they want an experience,” says Dean Main, CEO of Rhodium. “They want brand consistency, bespoke service, global recognition—and above all, someone they trust to manage it all flawlessly.” That’s where Rhodium steps in. Founded in 2011, the company has grown to manage a £12 billion portfolio across 40+ super-prime new-build schemes and over 2,000 individual residences in the UK and beyond. Their clients? Visionary developers, legendary hotel brands, and the world’s most discerning homeowners. Fenton Whelan / Park Modern From Raffles to Residences Rhodium’s marketing team brings a pedigree of iconic hospitality launches. Their track record includes the likes of One&Only Resorts, Atlantis The Palm, Dubai, The OWO Residences by Raffles, and Four Seasons at Twenty Grosvenor Square—projects that are as much about legacy as they are about lifestyle. These branded residences offer homeowners exclusive amenities—think private spa access, 24-hour concierge, valet parking, and even in-residence Michelin-level dining. But what sets Rhodium apart is its meticulous attention to detail, long before the first resident ever steps through the door. “Our mobilisation teams begin work up to 18 months before a development is complete,” says Jenny Naylor, Head of Marketing. “We choreograph everything—from the resident journey and amenity design to the operational structure and beyond.” Brockton Everlast / 60 Curzon Street A Hotel Experience. At Home. Rhodium’s in-residence services rival the world’s finest hotels, from tailored housekeeping and technical maintenance to curated ‘à la carte’ experiences designed in collaboration with each brand and architect. In effect, Rhodium doesn’t just manage a building—they create a way of life. It’s no surprise then, that the demand for branded residences has surged. For developers, it offers instant credibility and premium pricing. For homeowners, it’s a guarantee of quality, security, and service that transcends postcode or postcode. And while others scale up, Rhodium takes a different approach. Their portfolio is intentionally limited to ensure a consistently exceptional experience for every resident, in every location. Northacre / The Broadway Luxury’s New Address With projects like 1 Mayfair, Lancer Square, The Bryanston, and Park Modern under their care, Rhodium’s touch is felt across some of London’s most prestigious addresses. But their reach is global—and growing. As luxury buyers continue to chase lifestyle as much as location, branded residences aren’t just a trend—they’re a new standard. And Rhodium? They’re the invisible hand shaping that standard from blueprint to move-in day and beyond. Because in the world of modern luxury, the front door is just the beginning. https://rh-45.com/

A rare piece of Hollywood history has just become available to own. Nestled in one of Brentwood’s most prestigious enclaves, the former Los Angeles home of Audrey Hepburn has been quietly listed for $10.995 million — offering not just a stunning residence, but a chance to live in the footsteps of a true icon. Set behind manicured rose gardens and framed by soaring hedges, this Georgian-style estate dates back to 1939 and exudes all the hallmarks of old Hollywood elegance. Hepburn, known for her grace and quiet sophistication, leased the property during the early 1950s while filming Quo Vadis  and The Children’s Hour . It has since passed through the hands of other silver screen luminaries including Deborah Kerr, Katharine Hepburn, Mia Farrow, and David Niven. A Grand Entrance to a Storied Life From the moment you arrive, the property radiates prestige. A sweeping driveway leads to the classic white-brick façade, where a columned portico welcomes you home. Inside, 6,099 square feet of living space spread across five bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms, offering a thoughtful balance between timeless character and modern-day luxury. Original features have been lovingly preserved: think wood-panelled walls in the library, hand-painted Gracie wallpaper in the formal dining room, and original fireplaces that serve both as warmth and conversation pieces. Live Like Hollywood Royalty The primary suite is a sanctuary in itself, complete with dual spa-style bathrooms, two walk-in wardrobes, and a private balcony that gazes out over rolling lawns and mature gardens. Entertainers will appreciate the sun-drenched conservatory and expansive chef’s kitchen, while the lower level boasts a dedicated cinema room, games area, and even a full-scale gym. Outdoors, the estate continues to impress. There’s a sparkling swimming pool, putting green, and several landscaped lounging areas for al fresco dinners or golden-hour drinks — all in complete privacy, behind secure gates and lush hedgerows. A Home With Provenance What sets this estate apart, beyond its beauty, is its cultural pedigree. Very few homes can lay claim to a legacy so interwoven with Hollywood’s golden age. Yet it remains warm, liveable, and unpretentious — much like Hepburn herself. It’s not simply a home for collectors or historians; it’s a family estate, a showpiece for entertaining, and a sanctuary for those who value discretion and distinction. Now Listed for the First Time in Over Three Decades On the market for the first time in 34 years, the property is offered through Sotheby's at just under $11 million. For those seeking a residence that embodies character, heritage, and unmatched cachet — this Brentwood gem delivers. A timeless treasure, steeped in story and styled with elegance — Audrey Hepburn’s former home isn’t just for sale. It’s ready for its next chapter. https://www.sothebysrealty.com/eng/sales/detail/180-l-1187-bb3f3c/685-elkins-road-brentwood-los-angeles-ca-90049

In the world of fine wine, rarity alone is not enough. It must be matched with reverence, for craftsmanship, for heritage, and for the experience of collecting itself. Enter Belle Montagne, a bold new name in global luxury, whose debut is turning heads. Belle Montagne is positioning itself not simply as a vineyard or label, but as a global wine membership club, one rooted in scarcity, craftsmanship, and long-term ambition Its debut cuvée, a 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, has just launched, and only 1,000 bottles have been produced. Access is limited to 500 global members, who must apply to join the programme. It’s a bold, design-led approach to wine collecting, and one that’s clearly aiming for UHNWI's. Founded by entrepreneur Nick Holland and his wife Roslyn, Belle Montagne reflects a growing movement within the luxury space: where experience and storytelling are just as important as the product itself. Inspired by years of travel and a deep appreciation for winemaking, the couple began working with Vinpro, South Africa’s wine industry body, to replant nine hectares of land with carefully selected new vines. Their estate vintage is not expected until 2027, but in the meantime, they’ve partnered with celebrated winemaker Coenie Snyman to release this first Cabernet Sauvignon, described as elegant, structured, and designed for age-ability. The wine itself is rich in dark fruit, cassis and cedar, with a smooth, layered palate and fine tannins. But much of the attention lies in the presentation: each bottle arrives in a velvet-lined wooden box, wrapped in Italian Fedrigoni paper and finished with a stitched leather strap. The level of detail is more often found in luxury watch packaging than wine distribution. Members receive three annual releases, a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Chardonnay, and a Shiraz, shipped at peak release moments in temperature-controlled conditions. The aim is to treat each vintage with the reverence usually reserved for collectable art or haute couture. “We’re not trying to replicate the old model,” Holland says. “We’re trying to reimagine it.” South Africa has long produced world-class wine, but Belle Montagne is entering the space with a different focus. While terroir and technique remain key, the brand is equally interested in redefining what a wine label can look and feel like at the luxury level, from the membership model to the tactile nature of its design. Whether Belle Montagne can build the legacy it’s clearly aiming for remains to be seen. But in a world where discerning consumers are increasingly looking for scarcity, meaning and experience, the concept taps into several major trends. For now, it offers a glimpse of what the next generation of fine wine collecting might look like — one that feels just as at home on a cellar shelf as it does in a luxury lifestyle narrative. Applications are now open. Only 500 collectors will be granted access. https://bellemontagnewine.com/

Tucked discreetly underneath the hustle and bustle of Green Park, Mistress of Mayfair  is far more than your average brunch spot. It’s a sumptuous, velvet-draped retreat that feels like a secret only the most in-the-know Londoners are whispering about, and that’s exactly the point. From the moment you descend the staircase, you're transported into a decadent world where mirrored ceilings catch the glint of coupe glasses and deep crimson walls wrap you in old-school glamour. It’s boudoir meets bottle service, but without ever tipping into cliché. The mood is grown-up, elegant, and effortlessly playful. This is where luxury brunching steps away from avocado toast and leans into something far more indulgent: a roaming champagne trolley, curated cocktails, and a crowd that’s dressed for the moment. Think silk blouses, statement tailoring, and more than a few diamonds catching the light. Here, brunch isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience. What really elevates the vibe? The music. A resident DJ provides the perfect soundtrack for golden-hour lounging. The playlist is a finely tuned mix of soul, disco and feel-good classics — just enough to tap a toe or sway a shoulder without overpowering the conversation. It’s the kind of effortless energy that keeps the room buzzing, without demanding too much from anyone. Whether you're toasting something special or simply reclaiming your weekend in style, Mistress of Mayfair  delivers. It’s not about what’s on your plate, but how you feel while you're here — and you’ll feel fabulous. Available for weekend brunch bookings and late-night soirées, this is Mayfair done differently — with a wink, a whisper, and a glass always half full. https://www.mistressofmayfair.com/

In the rarefied world of hypercars, few names evoke reverence quite like Bugatti. But even among its storied lineage, La Voiture Noire  stands apart — not just as a car, but as a ghost of automotive history reborn. Priced at an eye-watering £14.4 million ($19 million), it’s the most expensive new car ever sold. And it’s gone. Only one will ever exist. No public unveiling of the cabin. No press test drives. The owner remains anonymous. La Voiture Noire  was here, then vanished into private hands — a stealth statement of supreme wealth. More Than a Supercar – A Spectre on Wheels Translating to “The Black Car,” La Voiture Noire  is a modern homage to the Type 57 SC Atlantic – Jean Bugatti’s own, which mysteriously disappeared during World War II and has never been found. The new model is wrapped in a gloss-black carbon fibre shell so seamless it looks poured, not built. Every curve is intentional, every line a nod to the brand’s Art Deco roots. But beneath the romance lies sheer power: 1,479 horsepower from Bugatti’s signature 8.0-litre W16 quad-turbocharged engine. This isn’t nostalgia. This is raw, road-dominating force, capable of hitting 261mph — if its elusive owner ever lets it stretch its legs. The Ultimate Status Symbol? Silence What makes La Voiture Noire  even more compelling isn’t just what it is — but what it represents. In a world of overexposure and algorithm-fed luxury, this car is the ultimate flex: anonymity. You won’t see it on TikTok. You won’t find it parked outside a Monaco beach club. No promotional campaigns. No public collector’s vault. The only thing louder than the engine is the silence around it. And that’s precisely the point. While most brands chase virality, Bugatti remains rooted in legacy. La Voiture Noire  wasn’t built for the spotlight. It was created for a collector who values history, craftsmanship, and possession for possession’s sake. Design that Disappears Into Legend The design is poetry: fluid, aerodynamic, and almost impossibly elegant. There’s no rear spoiler interrupting the silhouette. Just a single sculptural light bar stretching across the back, and a six-pipe exhaust that signals its underlying beast. Inside? No official images have been released. No details confirmed. Bugatti refused to break the car’s spell by letting the world peek inside. For once in the digital age, a supercar retains its mystery — and that is priceless. In a culture obsessed with more, louder, faster — Bugatti quietly delivered something that may never be topped: a hypercar so rare, most people will never even lay eyes on it. La Voiture Noire  isn’t just the fastest, most luxurious car on Earth. It’s a whisper in a world of noise — the kind of masterpiece that proves true luxury isn’t about being seen. It’s about having what no one else can.

Every summer has its signature haircut, and in 2025, we’re seeing a playful shift: say hello to the modern pageboy bob. A fresh take on a classic, this style is all about soft layers, a rounded shape, and that light, airy feeling that makes it perfect for warmer days. First popularised in the 1960s by cultural icons like Princess Diana and members of The Beatles, the original pageboy bob was defined by its ear-to-shoulder length, turned-under ends, and a bold fringe. Its name dates all the way back to medieval England, inspired by the bowl-cut style once worn by young pageboys at court. Thankfully, the modern revival is a far cry from its blunt beginnings. Today’s Pageboy Is More Wearable Than Ever According to stylist Elliot Bute at cult London salon Hershesons, today’s version brings a “versatile, wearable twist” to the once-rigid shape. “It keeps that signature rounded silhouette, but introduces light layering and variation in length,” he explains. The result? A chic, low-maintenance cut that still makes a statement. Whether you go for a sharp chin-length bob or a softer shoulder-skimming style, the updated pageboy allows room to play. Swap out the heavy fringe for something breezier – think curtain bangs, wavy ends, or even a sweeping side fringe to frame the face. Celebrities Are Embracing the Cut It’s no surprise the cut is quickly earning a celebrity following. Style-setters like Taylor Hill, Sabrina Elba, Zoey Deutch, and Nicole Kidman have all been spotted sporting some version of the updated pageboy – each adding their own modern twist. And with summer heating up, the practical appeal is clear too. This shorter cut offers that blissful breeze-at-the-nape feeling – perfect for city commutes, garden parties, or beach breaks. How to Style the Modern Pageboy To bring it to life, Elliot recommends embracing movement: “Use a mousse or texturising spray to create either a softly tousled or ultra-sleek finish. It’s a cut that works with your hair’s natural texture, so it shouldn’t feel like a chore to style.” The key to nailing this trend? Keep it simple, light, and fuss-free. After all, the best kind of summer beauty is the kind that looks like it took no time at all.

When you’ve spent a lifetime at the heart of haute couture, only the most exquisite living space will do. Giancarlo Giammetti, the co-founder of the legendary Valentino fashion house, has opened the doors to his meticulously curated Manhattan penthouse—offering a rare glimpse into a world where fashion, architecture and design converge at altitude. Perched on the 54th floor of the illustrious One Beacon Court, this sky-high sanctuary is now on the market for $17.5 million, co-listed with Sotheby’s International Realty – East Side Manhattan Brokerage and Brown Harris Stevens. It’s not just an address; it’s a statement. Designed by César Pelli, the mastermind behind iconic buildings such as the Petronas Towers and the Bloomberg Tower (in which this penthouse resides), One Beacon Court is a contemporary landmark. Its private circular drive sets the tone, but it’s the interiors—brought to life by celebrated French designer Jacques Grange—that steal the scene. Known for crafting homes for Yves Saint Laurent and Princess Caroline of Monaco, Grange has once again fused classic sensibility with bold modernity. Occupying the most desirable corner of the building, the 3,779 sq ft residence offers cinematic views of New York through 40 soaring floor-to-ceiling windows. From the twinkling skyline to the expanse of Central Park, the vistas are uninterrupted, framed by architectural finishes that elevate the everyday. At the heart of the home is a 77-foot-wide open entertaining space, where a formal living room blends effortlessly into a library and dining room. The ambience is curated but comfortable—ideal for both intimate gatherings and grand soirées. The Poggenpohl kitchen, fitted with premium appliances and a stylish breakfast area, is every bit as functional as it is chic. The primary suite, occupying its own serene wing, offers sweeping park views, a spa-like bath and a bespoke dressing room that’s worthy of a couture collection. Two further en-suite bedrooms are tucked into separate wings, offering privacy for family or guests. And while aesthetics reign supreme, the penthouse is equally rich in functionality: motorised window shades, an audiophile sound system, and three separate entrances cater to every convenience. A laundry room, guest powder room, and generous closet space complete the picture. Building amenities are equally impressive. Residents enjoy a fitness centre with skyline views, a private entertainment suite, business lounge, children’s playroom, and 24/7 concierge service—including valet parking.

Italian design studio InMind Design  has lifted the curtain on Interstellar  — a dramatic new 49.9-metre superyacht concept that fuses futuristic aesthetics with explorer yacht functionality. With sharp black-and-white lines and a streamlined aft deck, Interstellar  is a bold statement in motion — inspired by sports yachts, but built with long-range adventure in mind. “The owner I imagine for Interstellar  is someone with an artistic eye — someone who sees design as a cultural expression,” explains studio founder Lorenzo Squadrito. “They’re not looking to blend in. They want a yacht that represents creativity, identity and vision.” At the heart of that vision is Interstellar ’s sweeping aft deck — a multi-tiered experience space featuring a relaxed outdoor dining area, sleek sunlounging zones, and a show-stopping infinity pool. Below, a generous beach club unfolds to reveal 270-degree views via folding bulwarks, paired with a hidden tender lift and smart storage solutions for life at sea. One of the standout features is the main-deck VIP suite — a futuristic, light-filled retreat framed by curved, floor-to-ceiling windows. With mirrors on both port and starboard sides, the space feels expansive and architectural, with a layout that places uninterrupted views centre stage. Elsewhere, guests will find formal alfresco dining for 14 on the upper deck, a plant-dressed sundeck lounge, and a full gym designed for serious workouts — complete with treadmills and free weights. Even the tender has been carefully considered, custom-designed in harmony with the mothership’s sculptural lines. “With Interstellar , we set out to create something iconic yet timeless — a silhouette that feels just as relevant in the past as it might in the future,” says Squadrito. “It’s bold, fluid and truly evergreen.” Key specs include a beam of 9.5 metres and a 2.3-metre draft, with propulsion delivered by twin CAT engines. Full performance details are yet to be disclosed, but the concept’s form hints at impressive range and versatility. For visionaries seeking a yacht that’s as expressive as it is engineered — Interstellar  might just be the next frontier. https://www.studioinmind.com/

The Victoria and Albert Museum Package at The Clermont, Charing Cross. What’s not to love? Not only can you experience the rich culture of London, no less in the hub of the West End, but enjoy a complimentary ticket to a paid exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, allowing you to explore world-class art, design, and history. Of course, I chose a coveted ticket to the Cartier exhibition; a treasure trove of timeless beauty, curated by Helen Molesworth and Rachel Garrahan. Much of the exhibition explores the relationship between the British royal family and the Parisian jeweller, and includes spectacular pieces lent by King Charles and other private collectors. Be bedazzled by more than 350 objects, from jewels to gemstones, watches to clocks and precious unseen drawings. And the ultimate finale – a darkened room dedicated to tiaras dating from the 1900s to the present day. After a morning of admiration at the V&A and a spot of mooching around South Kensington, my tired feet couldn’t wait to enjoy the comfort of my room at The Clermont Charing Cross. Even though the grand building has balconies overlooking the main station concourse, you can’t hear the rhythmic rumblings of trains arriving at their destination, let alone a whistle or hoot. This historic building, which opened in 1865 is built to last. The rooms are modern with crisp white linens and mod cons, yet the stunning Victorian architecture is seen throughout the building, think tall ceilings and period features. The impressive grand staircase that runs through the centre of the hotel is an influencer’s dream - there’s even an iconic London red phone box at the bottom. Furthermore, each step appears wider than a modern staircase because each step is evenly spaced so that guests of the 1860s wouldn’t have to watch their footing as they descended. Arriving at the bottom step with one’s head held high was considered the only proper way to make one’s entrance. Genius! The V&A package includes breakfast the next morning; a mix of self-service and à la carte options. Service was immaculate, coffee was fresh and poached eggs, served to perfection. If you’re looking to be within walking distance to Trafalgar Square, able to saunter to the latest West End production, or able let your hair down in Soho without having to catch a train home, this is it. The location is oh-so central. Do remember, all good things must come to an end – as does this package. So do book in before 30th of June 2025. https://www.theclermont.co.uk/charing-cross/special-offers/victoria-and-albert-museum-package
