NEW OPENINGS & EXPERIENCES 2025 Sumba & Florida
NIHI ® SUMBA Sumba
The desire to scale the perfect wave drives surfers to beaches all over the
globe. Searching for this exhilaration, Claude and Petra Graves, the founders of NIHI, were drawn to Sumba in 1988 and, enthralled by its breathtaking beauty and history, remained there. They opened a resort called Nihiwatu, named after a beach with a mortar stone-like rock formation. Over two decades later, entrepreneur Christopher Burch invested in the property with the goal of expanding it. NIHI, in Sumba and with a second location about to open on West Timor’s Bo’a Beach, carries its original vision, resulting in an awardwinning experience that integrates with its natural surroundings and preserves the island’s history. On both Sumba and West Timor, guests stay in villas blending ocean views, direct access to the surf, and luxurious accommodations. Activities venture into the landscape and culture through a series of scheduled tours that range from swimming with horses to surfing to hiking through the Wanukaka Valley to Sumba’s hidden waterfalls. A spa safari lets guests select from several rejuvenating treatments, spaced according to their schedule and preferences, while Wild Wellness harnesses the serene power of nature for a holistic healing experience. ■

THE VINETA HOTEL Palm Beach, Florida
European hospitality will imbue a historic American property once
The Vineta Hotel opens in Palm Beach later this year. Roughly a century ago, a hotel initially named the Lido-Venice opened during Florida’s real estate boom: a period of rapid construction enticing travelers to Florida’s beaches that also introduced notable architectural styles. In this case, that’s Mediterranean Revival, a quintessentially Palm Beach staple of stucco walls and clay tiled roofs that different owners have preserved: The Vineta for most of its history, condos in the ‘80s, and a return to hospitality as The Chesterfield from 1989 onward. Oetker Collection, the legendary luxury brand of Hotel du Cap EdenRoc, Le Bristol Paris, and Eden Rock - St Barths, plans to build upon this legacy with its first entry into the U.S. market. In the process, the historic property benefits from its location right off Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue and will receive upgrades from interior designer Tino Zervudachi, of London-based firm MHZ. Expect a more exuberant, pastel-tinged palette, brighter interiors, larger rooms, and a cosmopolitan character reinforced by European-themed dining choices. ■ Written by: Irene Test

and timeless allure - where the sunlight dances on sparkling harbor waters and the sleek megayachts sway beside colorful fishing boats. Bougainvillea spills over sun-warmed stone walls as pastelhued buildings curve gracefully around the piazzetta, their shutters thrown open to welcome the breeze, rich with the scent of lemon, pine, and the sea. Portofino, framed by lush green hills and the glimmering Ligurian Sea, is the quintessence of Mediterranean glamour and coastal enchantment. Days drift between sunbathing at secluded coves, hiking Castello Brown for sweeping sea views, and long seafood lunches with views of the Ligurian coastline. Cafes buzz with elegantly dressed visitors sipping Aperol Spritz beneath wide white umbrellas, while high-end boutiques and art galleries beckon along the narrow cobblestone streets. As the sun dips low, the gentle lapping of the tide becomes a lullaby and the golden shimmer of dusk paints the harbor with a tender glow.

TRAVEL Naples, Florida
Welcome to the
NAPLES GRANDE BEACH RESORT
Naples Florida Beach Escape
32 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com
Gulf Coast getaways often mean two things: Soft, fine white
sands underfoot as you walk along the beach at sunrise and crystal-turquoise waves lapping against the shoreline just feet away. Once you’ve checked into the Naples Grande Beach Resort, this experience, beginning steps outside the property, is all yours—whether you’re more of a reflective wanderer or inclined to capture the calming, immersive beauty with your phone’s camera. Yet, this destination not only serves as a gateway to the region’s quintessential qualities—it frames them as you stroll along the beach, dine al fresco with the sunset in the distance, or glance out the windows of your luxury accommodations. These factors set the stage for a weekend unwinding— perhaps under the airy sunlight, absorbed in your surroundings— and open the door to adventure. There’s no structure here, so plan accordingly based on your interests and activity level. Nature walks take you past the immediate sands to a protected mangrove estuary and three miles of beachfront, or enjoy the view, free of interruptions, with a private beach bed and cabana. Looking farther, take the open-air tram to the boardwalk, or glide over the water with a sea kayak or paddleboard rental. And for a jaunt into town, Naples’ Waterside Shops are situated adjacent to the hotel.
TRAVEL Naples, Florida
You’ll also find that tranquility doesn’t just exist on the exterior of Naples Grand Beach Club. It’s also a keystone of your stay. For massages and other treatments, the Spa at Naples Grande considers itself an oasis of serenity, built upon rejuvenation, unwinding, and refreshing through innovative therapies. Go for your favorites infused with something different or try something new: On the menu are the spa’s signature massages, HydraFacials designed to target dry skin and fine lines, CBDbased treatments, and hair and nail services. ■ Written by: Irene Test | Photo credit: Naples Grande Beach Resort

EXPERT ADVICE WITH LUXURY REAL ESTATE ADVISORS
Conversations with the market leaders who sell to an ultra-wealthy, high-net-worth clientele.
What is your perspective on 2025’s luxury real estate market in terms of what affluent buyers are interested in? In 2025, luxury buyers are prioritizing properties with protected water and skyline views, seamless modern living, and architectural pedigree. We’re seeing strong demand for downtown condominiums, along with residences designed by notable architects like Olson Kundig or interior spaces by Terry Hunziker—homes that reflect both refinement and restraint. Increasingly, buyers are viewing significant architecture as collectible—acquiring it with the same discernment as fine art. Aesthetic legacy, privacy, and long-term value are overtaking sheer square footage as the new status markers for discerning purchasers.
What Trends are you noticing in your own local luxury market?
Moira E. Holley SEATTLE, WASHINGTON REALOGICS SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY 206.612.5771
In Seattle’s core, there’s renewed interest at the very top of the condo market, particularly in boutique towers with limited inventory and panoramic views—think the Four Seasons, Continental Place, et al. Many affluent clients are downsizing in square footage but upgrading in finish, service, and location—seeking proximity to arts, dining, and the re-established waterfront. There’s also a notable return of local buyers who had previously paused during global volatility—now reentering the market with confidence and clarity about what quality of life truly means.
What is the most important step to be sure to take with our current market? Precision is key—pricing, presentation, and promotion must be aligned from day one. In today’s market, properties that tell a clear, aspirational story with strong architectural identity and professional staging and photography—paired with high-touch, global marketing—consistently outperform. Sellers must understand they are no longer just listing a home—they are launching a product into a highly visual, emotionally driven marketplace, where detail and timing are everything..
What advice do you have for affluent clientele purchasing an investment or vacation property in Seattle before the end of the year? 36 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com
EXPERT ADVICE WITH LUXURY REAL ESTATE ADVISORS Focus on uniqueness and view security. Whether it’s a pied-à-terre at the Four Seasons or a Bainbridge waterfront escape, top-tier properties are trading hands quietly and quickly. Now is the time to acquire something rare and lasting before institutional and international buyers return in force this fall. Prioritize assets with enduring location fundamentals and architectural relevance—these are the properties that will appreciate in both value and desirability over time.
Based on your experience with buyers, which home features are in current demand? There’s strong interest in wellness-forward design—think infrared saunas, cold plunge pools, and private fitness studios—as well as whole-home automation and gallery-quality lighting. High-networth buyers are also seeking spaces that reflect a post-hotel lifestyle: custom millwork, curated materials, and interior design that balances sanctuary and statement. Bespoke craftsmanship and tactile luxury—stone, steel, reclaimed wood—are increasingly favored over trend-driven finishes, signaling a shift toward lasting substance over flash.
Your sales record has been strong year after year. Please share some insight to your positive experiences with Real Estate sales in 2025. This year has been defined by meaningful transactions with clients who view real estate not just as an investment, but as an expression of identity. From discreet, off-market San Juan Islands compounds to high-rise penthouses with art-worthy views, it’s been a privilege to match exceptional people with exceptional properties. What stands out in 2025 is the intentionality—clients are buying less for show and more for permanence, comfort, and the joy of living well in a place that truly suits them.
Please tell our readers about the positive luxury market key points to consider when looking to sell. Seattle’s luxury market remains supply-constrained, especially when it comes to residences with protected views, architectural distinction, or elite address. With the right staging, storytelling, and negotiation strategy, sellers are achieving exceptional outcomes—even in a selective buyer climate. Properties with provenance, view rights, and timeless design continue to command attention, and smart sellers are leveraging this moment to reposition their assets while inventory remains scarce. ■

EXPERT ADVICE WITH LUXURY REAL ESTATE ADVISORS
Conversations with the market leaders who sell to an ultra-wealthy, high-net-worth clientele.
What advice do you have for high-net-worth buyers to keep in mind during buying? Every client has different goals. When working with high-net-worth families and family offices, it is extremely important to listen to what their “goal” is in a real estate transaction. One must look at the exit strategy as well as the purchase. Discretion and market expertise are two of the many value-added advisory services that my clients should always expect.
Shelly Tretter Lynch GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT COMPASS 203.550.8508 WWW.SHELLYTRETTERLYNCH.COM WWW.COMPASS.COM
Many of the transactions that I have been involved in have been “quiet” deals that are not listed on the open market. Many sellers and buyers do not want to bring attention to a sale or purchase they have just participated in. Through my years as a global real estate advisor, I am accustomed to finding these properties and being able to sell them “off market.” The confidentiality component is probably more important now than ever. With information being available so quickly, taking extra precautionary levels from the beginning and having a clear stream of communication is vital.
What patterns are you noticing in your own local luxury market? The year-to-date sales for homes over $5M have continued the strong trend of 2024, especially compared to the pre-pandemic market. In the first five months of the year, we have seen 44 sales in the $5M to $45M range with a median sale price of $7M and average days on market of 131 days. While there has been much upheaval in the financial markets, our market has not been significantly impacted, with still only 2.4 months of inventory. Background: Homes over $5M 78 homes on the market currently, 27 homes in contract, an average of 80 days on the market, and a median list price of $8M. 2025 YTD sales of homes over $5M 44 sales since the beginning of the year. Average days on market: 131. Median price sold: $7M, Average Price/Sq. Ft.: $1,050

What are the most important steps to take with our current market competition?
How is our future market for our flip-investors and vacation home collection advocates?
In the luxury space, we have not experienced the frenzy, due to a smaller pool of potential buyers. While not as competitive at this price range, a great house will always attract higher interest, and we have our clients completely buttoned up to ensure they do not miss out on a purchase. I am also hyper vigilant of not only new public listings but also all everything off market.
When representing high-net-worth individuals, it is not about the quick flip but rather a long-term investment in a generational property. If this client pool does want a “quick flip” or an investment property with a good return, due diligence is the most important. Some people are investing money into real estate for a longer investment strategy.
Based on your high-net-worth clientele, which home features are in demand for 2025?
What is your key to your success, Shelly?
During the pandemic, our clients sought out large properties with extensive amenity offerings. Buyers are still looking for amenities but within a smaller house and lot of footprint.
Please tell us more about your services for the ultra-wealthy buyers, who want security and privacy during the buying process. With buyers and sellers, we come across many NDAs, but we also put them in touch with local attorneys to advise them on LLCs and trusts to mask the buyer’s or seller’s identity.
Life is (hopefully) long ... do the right thing. One needs to know the market, and one needs to have clients in this sphere of the market, but one of the most important attributes is loving what you do and doing it with integrity. Relationships are so important. Treat each relationship with respect. My close relationship with my high-net-worth clients is based on integrity and respect. This is why they come back to me when they have more real estate needs. ■

Conversations with the market leaders who sell to an ultra-wealthy, high-net-worth clientele.
What is your perspective on 2025’s real estate market in terms of luxury purchases as we are seeing an uptick in the luxury market this quarter? We’re seeing renewed momentum in the luxury segment, particularly as interest rates stabilize and global economic uncertainty begins to ease. High-net-worth individuals are returning to hard assets, and real estate remains a preferred store of wealth — especially in lifestyledriven markets. The first quarter of 2025 has already shown increased activity, and we anticipate stronger movement into the summer, particularly in trophy properties and new construction.
Paul Benson
What patterns are you noticing with buyers in your own local luxury market? Buyers are more selective, but they are ready to act decisively when the right opportunity presents itself. They’re prioritizing privacy, amenities that support multi-generational living, and seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces. We're also seeing a strong desire for move-in ready properties—buyers want convenience without compromising design or craftsmanship.
PARK CITY, UTAH ENGEL & VÖLKERS PARK CITY 435.640.7441
What are the most important steps to be sure to take with our current market competition? Positioning is everything. In a competitive market, it’s crucial that listings are priced appropriately, professionally staged, and supported by a tailored marketing strategy that targets ultra-high-net-worth individuals both domestically and abroad. Sellers need to think globally but act locally — leveraging networks, media, and high-touch outreach to stand out.

In 2025, luxury buyers are more discerning than ever. They’re looking for properties that offer not just luxury, but also a lifestyle—homes that provide a sense of sanctuary, privacy, and functionality. High-end buyers want expansive spaces, both inside and out, and they’re prioritizing homes that offer versatility for remote work, relaxation, and entertainment. Smart home technology, eco-friendly features, and wellnessoriented amenities like home gyms or spas are becoming increasingly desirable. Buyers are also drawn to properties that provide seamless indoor-outdoor living, with features like outdoor kitchens, pools, and expansive patios. Ultimately, luxury buyers in 2025 are looking for a home that offers the best of both worlds—exceptional quality and design, while also meeting the demands of today’s modern lifestyle.

Whether it’s a vacation home or an investment property, make sure it’s in a location that offers both personal enjoyment and solid investment potential.

The home architecture styles changed over the years distinctively. In San Francisco, we have a massive numbers of Victorian and Edwardian style homes built from the turn of the Century to the 1920s. Followed by the elegant Mediterranean style villas and imitation French chateaux trend in 1920s-1930s and the simple basic housing in 1940s during and after the WW II and the MidCentury modern style homes in 1950-1960s. Then the Italian villa style homes popular in 1970-1980s-1990s with stucco walls and red-tile roofs dominated the styles followed by the contemporary homes since early 2000s until now. In recent years, the open floor plans with living-dining room opened into the kitchen, high ceilings, and wall to wall windows, light and airy interior with wood and glass contemporary designs have been very popular.
Based on your high-net-worth clientele, which home features are most in demand for 2025? I am noticing for 2025 luxury home buyers are looking for homes with luxury amenities such as wine cellars, pools, spas, smart home technology and eco- friendly features and some even wanting eco- friendly building materials. My billionaire clients have different personality styles and I cater to listening closely to see what they desire. Entertainment areas are very important for many clients such as private home office, personal gym, saunas, home theater and tennis court. Outdoor spaces such as gardens or specific views, as well as elements of historic features or the complete opposite such as ultra-modern contemporary are always considered. Each client is different, but location, privacy, security, and comfort are always at the top of the list. The upscale look of all white and neutral are no longer always what the buyer wants. Many of my clients’ wives ask for more accents contrast and stronger visual impact to enhance the more elevated and luxury look while keeping a relaxed and uncrowded home.

I have been staging luxury homes for my clients since 1998. The pictures and videos of a newly constructed contemporary home I staged for sale can be seen as an example: www.465BelvedereAve. com
What advice can you offer to buyers who want to invest in a safe real estate purchase? As we all know real estate is location, location, location!! My advice is to buy at the best location such as on the waterfront with fantastic views in a safe, beautiful, and private location. I moved to Belvedere Island over 40 years ago and own 4 homes here. I highly recommend investing in Belvedere. Because it is an island on San Francisco Bay about 15 minutes north of Golden Gate Bridge surrounded by water on 3 sides with two world-class yacht clubs and the magnificent panoramic views of San Francisco, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito, Angel Island, East Bay, and Mt.Tamalpais. There is no homeless, no drug problems, no crime, no commercial zoning (the stores and restaurants are in Tiburon next door). It is like a large park, the homeowners walk around the island to see friends, walk with their dogs and babies to exercise and enjoy the views. If they work in San Francisco or
other areas, there is Ferry and bus service from nearby Tiburon to San Francisco or drive across Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco within 25 minutes.
Please tell our readers about the positive luxury market key points to consider when looking to buy this season. Most buyers are slower to buy when the market appears slower but in luxury real estate we are seeing an uptick slightly over normal lower end homes sales. Luxury affluent buyers have the power to negotiate and find their desired amenities and details that fit their lifestyle. I believe the best time to buy is when less people are buying so the buyer can negotiate the best deal. If you buy in the best locations, the property will never lose value because the market will always hold value at the best locations where people desire most. The rule is to buy low and sell high. I believe in investing in a nice home in best location is much safer and more profitable than investing in stock market because when the stock is down and if a company collapsed, the stocks became no value, but a nice home in the best locations will always keep the value, and you can live in the home instead of holding a piece of paper in stocks. I bought 4 homes in Belvedere in 2012 at the end of the 2008-2012 financial crisis and all of them have increased in value more than doubled. ■

What is your perspective on 2025’s real estate market in terms of luxury purchases? (as we are seeing an uptick in the luxury market this quarter.) The 2025 luxury real estate market reflects evolving priorities driven by lifestyle shifts, global economic trends, and technological advancements. Here’s a clear perspective on what key points luxury buyers are looking for this year. High-end buyers are increasingly prioritizing privacy, security, and exclusivity. Gated communities, private access, advanced home security systems (including AI surveillance), and even off-market listings are in demand—especially among UHNWIs Post-pandemic lifestyle changes remain influential. Buyers want homes that support holistic well-being including Spa-like bathrooms, private gyms, yoga studios, indoor air purification systems, circadian lighting and dedicated spaces for meditation or cold plunge/sauna rituals. 46 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com
