ROLLS-ROYCE

Black Badge Cullinan Series II by Cyril Kongo Photo credit: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

verlooking California’s Pacific coastline at an ultra-private RollsRoyce Villa, Black Badge Cullinan Series II by Cyril Kongo arrives at Monterey Car Week 2026 as a defining one-of-one statement for a new generation of collectors. Recognized globally for transforming graffiti into collectible fine art, French-Vietnamese artist Cyril Kongo brings his unmistakable visual language from the streets of Paris to the world of RollsRoyce, merging contemporary artistic expression with the marque’s unrivaled craftsmanship. The commanding presence of Black Badge Cullinan Series II becomes his canvas: dynamic colors, expressive hand-painted artwork and bespoke detailing sweep across the exterior and flow into a cabin alive with galaxy-toned digital displays, ambient light and bold upholstery, transforming the motor car into a moving work of art while preserving the elegance and refinement that define Rolls-Royce. Inside, bespoke color treatments, handcrafted 18 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com

finishes and carefully curated materials continue the narrative, each element meticulously realized by the Bespoke Collective at Goodwood in close dialogue with the artist and commissioning client. Presented alongside Black Badge Ghost Golden Era—a tribute to Rolls-Royce V12 excellence—this singular Cullinan underscores the Villa’s role as a true sanctuary: an intimate setting where invited guests step away from the frenzy of Monterey to engage directly with designers, Bespoke specialists and senior leadership, and to take delivery of commissions that have taken months or years to imagine. More than a luxury motor car, Black Badge Cullinan Series II by Cyril Kongo stands as a collectible work of contemporary art, capturing the moment where automotive engineering, craftsmanship and culture converge for clients who expect their cars to be as singular and expressive as the lives they lead. ■

he UHNWIs are revolutionizing their investment strategies and fiscal management. Instead of putting all the investments into one or a few private equity firms, the new rich are establishing singlefamily offices to effectively protect their interests and pursue longer-term objectives. This phenomenon is perceived to provide more security, individuality, and more tailored solutions to the next generation of families. The growth of family offices has indeed been remarkable, particularly over the past decade. This surge is a testament to the influence of family offices in managing global wealth. Additionally, the rise in wealth across emerging markets, particularly in Asia, and the desire for multi-generational wealth management have further fueled their growth. The explosive nature of this expansion signals that family offices are becoming a dominant force in wealth management. Self-Made Billionaires play a pivotal role in driving the Expansion of Family Offices. “Four out of ten family offices globally have been created in the past decade. The number of new entrants is really amazing,” says my friend Kirby Rosplock, founder of Tamarind Partners. Research shows a steady rise in the number of self-made billionaires worldwide, with tech billionaires playing a significant role. The Forbes 400 or the richest 400 Americans listed most people that did not inherit the family business but rather made

their own fortune. Steve Kaplan and Joshua Rauh, both professors of Stanford, stated in their paper, back in 2012 that the Forbes 400 became rich by applying their ideas in industries where new technologies allowed their firms to become very large. The average net worth of self-made billionaires is nearly US$6 billion, and five of the world’s ten richest individuals built most of their wealth in the technology sector—a figure significantly higher than in other industries. This increasing number of tech-driven fortunes requires sophisticated wealth management solutions and Family offices are well-positioned to support the unique needs of these tech billionaires, offering strategies for wealth preservation, direct investments, and legacy planning. Longer-term perspective. Deal-makers for private companies are also discovering family offices, which can buy equity stakes or entire companies. Since family offices have long time horizons, preferring to invest for decades or even generations, they are seen as more “patient capital” compared with private equity firms or venture capital. Family offices usually have a longer-term perspective which allows businesses to grow at a sustainable pace without the pressure for immediate exits or rapid returns. They do not follow strict protocols and work around more tailored solutions and often offer strategic guidance along with capital, creating a win-win environment for both businesses and the investors. ■ denny@nyc-wealth.com | www.dc-finance.com

WHERE ELEGANCE MEETS WILD NAYARA TENTED CAMP ADRENALINE IN THE JUNGLE Written by: Irene Test Photo Credit: Nayara Resorts

rom the balcony, a lush, verdant canopy undulates feet below, rushing water and the echo of tropical birds transporting you to the slopes of the Arenal Volcano. Here, the stilted structures composing Nayara Tented Camp are both part of and built to maximize the surrounding environment, combining sustainable luxury with stunning views of the rainforests, lakes, and vistas that attract many to this secluded corner of Costa Rica. Each traveler arrives guided by a personal sense of adventure— the thrill of scaling a canyon, exploring, in the style of an African safari, a unique habitat, or observing how coffee develops its distinctive aroma and profile. Serenity surrounds, hours deep in the landscape, with accommodations, like a hot springs-fed plunge pool, crafting a personal oasis. Quintessential aspects of Costa Rican culture and topography are infused into your stay. On this Relais & Chateaux property, chefs present their own mouth-watering interpretations of seasonal, local ingredients, while guided tours are structured as tailored introductions to its multifaceted and awe-inspiring landscape. Travel at a leisurely pace, indulging in new sights and sounds with every step, or sign up for a private tour. The Mystic Hanging Bridges trek scales from the jungle floor through 10 fixed and six hanging bridges, a naturalist pointing out animal and plant species as you make your way to a 60-foot-high waterfall. A little bit farther brings you to La Fortuna Waterfall, with its 230-foot height and clear, cool waters offering a respite. The Lava Fields Walk winds over volcanic terrain, new vegetation emerging from 50-plus-year-old rock and ash as you hike to dried lava fields.

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE Costa Rica

The Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, a remote 10,000-hectacre preserve accessible by pontoon boat, lets you observe Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity up close. Starting with a nature tour of the Rio Frio, you’ll spot iguanas, crocodiles, and caimans from the shores, as local primates like capuchin, howler, and spider monkeys swing from the branches above. Colorful birds, including parrots and toucans, are a sight throughout. Similarly, tours of Tenorio National Park and Rio Celeste venture deep into the region’s rainforests. Groups meander along densely wooded trails to thermal mud pots and bright blue mineral streams.

The property is also adjacent to Costa Rica’s adrenalinepumping and culinary attractions. Get some vertical on ziplining, river rafting, or canyon rappelling trips, or head straight to the source on a chocolate and coffee tour. Tucked into the landscape, the open-air Sukha Spa balances a traditional menu of treatments with those inspired by its invigorating, soothing locale. ■

A FIRE of OLIVE WOOD Behind the hedges at Monaco's edge, Villa Monaco reveals the French Riviera at its most seductive - after summer. Photo credits: David Capellari Written by Kate Benson

28 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com

t Villa Monaco, autumn begins with fire. Olive wood, cut during the estate’s annual pruning and dried for two years, catches slowly in the hearth, releasing a warm, earthy scent. Beyond the glass, sunset moves through apricot and dusty rose before deepening to violet over SaintJean-Cap-Ferrat. The infinity pool holds the color a moment longer, turning from liquid copper to navy as the Mediterranean disappears into the night. Around the coast, Monaco’s lights sharpen one by one—close enough to admire, distant enough to ignore. Firelight catches in a nineteenth-century Venetian mirror made on Murano, breaking the room into fragments of aged glass, black leather, and silver. Nothing in the room feels stiff. The leather has softened with use, and the silver catches the firelight instead of sitting untouched behind glass. The fire is not burning for effect. It is burning because evening has arrived. For all of the important design in the room, it is still somewhere you can settle in. Josef Hoffmann’s structured Kubus sofa sits beside Michel Ducaroy’s low, relaxed Togo sofas—the kind you sink into rather than perch upon. Then there is a restored barber chair from 1918, an odd little surprise that keeps the room from feeling too perfect. Jessica Stockmann created Villa Monaco as a family retreat and spent decades building its collection. Her daughter Nisha, an event and interior designer, brings a more contemporary eye to Jessica’s love of pieces with history. The result is a home where modern art shares space with vintage furniture and the silver actually comes out at dinner. High hedges close around the gated drive, replacing the outside world with deep green and the scents of eucalyptus and citrus leaves.

SECRET PLACES - TRAVEL Then the view opens all at once: a 180-degree sweep of the Mediterranean and Cap-Ferrat. Beige marble runs cool underfoot, pale rooms open to the outdoors, and broad terraces lead toward an infinity pool and uninterrupted blue. The entire estate belongs to one family or group at a time. With three suites in the main villa and three more in the guest villa, everyone can come together around the same table and still have a private corner to retreat to. A full staff keeps the estate running: a private chef and sous chef, butler, waiter, concierge, housekeepers, gardeners, and round-theclock security and much of that activity stays in the background. By the time sunlight reaches the terraces, breakfast is underway. Dinner comes much later, after the last color has left the sea. Outside the gates, summer on the Côte d’A zur is a performance conducted in full sun. Beach clubs fill, tenders flash across the water, and super yachts crowd the harbors. By autumn, the sharp summer glare has softened, washing the stone in warmer light. Afternoons stay warm enough for lunch outside; evenings turn cool enough for the fire. The pool is no longer the center of every afternoon, and the art inside the villa gets a closer look.

SECRET PLACES - TRAVEL

Autumn on the Riviera is sensual in a less obvious way: cashmere pulled over sun-warmed skin, woodsmoke drifting through an open room and a silk dress at dinner simply because the evening feels worth it. At the villa, dinner becomes the one plan that matters. In early autumn, it may begin on the terrace as the sky shifts from coral to indigo; on cooler nights, everyone gathers inside near the fire. The private chef cooks with whatever looks best at the market that day: Mediterranean fish from Nice, vegetables grown nearby and, later in autumn, truffles from the Var, with their deep, earthy scent. Wines from Provence are poured without fuss, and dinner takes as long as it takes. Morning comes in paler colors. Lemons and oranges grown on the estate are pressed for breakfast, their fragrance filling the kitchen before coffee is poured. By midmorning, the sea has shifted from silver to a clear, saturated blue. By late September, the Monaco Yacht Show transforms Port Hercule into a floating city of white hulls and polished teak. On the docks, salt air mixes with expensive perfume, and champagne is poured on deck. In November, National Day fireworks light the harbor on the 18th. Two days later, the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival begins inside the Salle Garnier, with its red velvet seats and goldtrimmed balconies. By December, the waterfront at Port Hercule becomes a Christmas village, with small wooden market stalls and

the scents of roasted chestnuts, pine and warm spice filling the night air. Nearby, the Place du Casino glows beneath thousands of lights. Part of the pleasure is choosing how much of Monaco you want. Guests can slip into Monte-Carlo for cocktails, music, or a late dinner, then return before the evening is over. Back at the villa, the olive fire has settled into embers. The air has cooled, the sea beyond the terrace is almost black, and Monaco glows along the curve of the coast. Summer gives the French Riviera its reputation. Autumn gives it intimacy. At Villa Monaco, the evening itself is the occasion—the sort of night still worth dressing for. ■

ULTRA LUXURY- EXPERIENCE

LOOKING BEYOND the ORDINARY ÀNI Shoal Bay, Anguilla BEST IN THE WORLD PRIVATE GROUP DESTINATION Photo Credit Haute Retreats Written by Erin Green

32 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com

verlooking what many consider the best beach in the world, ÀNI Shoal Bay in Anguilla is a fully private, buyout-only estate that feels less like a villa and more like your own boutique resort. Reserved exclusively for one group at a time, it accommodates up to 30 guests across 15 ocean-view suites, maintaining a remarkable 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio that quietly underwrites everything from sunrise coffee on the terrace to late-night poolside gatherings. The architecture, inspired by Brazilian modernism, is all about openness and light: suites spill onto private terraces, bespoke terracotta screens filter the sun and frame endless Caribbean Sea views, and floor-to-ceiling glass dissolves the boundary between indoors and shoreline. Cascading living and dining spaces follow the natural contours of the site, stepping down toward Shoal Bay’s powder-soft sands and positioning guests beside Fountain Cavern National Park, where the pace stays slow and the horizon reads as a private possession. At the heart of the estate, an open-air main lounge becomes the social hub, complemented by a flexible dining room for up to 30 that can transition effortlessly into a private cinema or executive-style meeting space. Outside, multiple pools, terraces and gathering areas give every generation their own favorite corner, from quiet sun decks to lively spaces designed for celebrations.

ULTRA LUXURY- EXPERIENCE

The exclusive Beach Club fronts Shoal Bay itself, with a beachfront infinity pool, sunken lounge and games area, plus a sea-view Fitness Centre in The Tower and an upper-level lounge that lifts sunset cocktails into an event. Active guests have floodlit courts for tennis, pickleball and basketball, along with a putting green, pitching tees and bocce, while the shoreline offers kayaks, paddleboards, a Hobie Cat and underwater scooters for exploring the bay from the water. A private spa with two treatment rooms anchors a serious wellness program, built around tailored therapies and a hydrotherapy circuit featuring a hammam-style steam room, cold plunge and outdoor spa. Families are fully considered too: a dedicated Kids Club with its own building, separate children’s pool, waterslides, games and supervised activities gives younger guests a world of their own and gives adults true downtime.

ÀNI’s “everything included” philosophy is a major differentiator in the Caribbean: rates cover all meals by a private chef, premium beverages, curated excursions, cultural experiences, airport transfers, daily spa treatments and a wide range of personalized services, so the entire stay unfolds like a perfectly orchestrated house party with no constant signing or second-guessing. From arrival to departure, the experience is tailored around one group’s preferences, creating a private resort that feels custom-built for multigenerational celebrations, milestone events and ultra-discreet escapes. For travelers ready to claim their own Caribbean compound on the most coveted stretch of Anguilla’s coastline, ÀNI Shoal Bay can be easily booked through Haute Retreats, ensuring every detail of the journey is as expertly handled as the stay itself. hauteretreats.com/luxury-rentals/ani-shoal-bay ■

MALIBU California

Malibu is one of the world’s most coveted coastal strongholds,

where oceanfront estates, blufftop compounds, and discreet gated communities create a tightly held grid for global high-net-worth buyers. Along this dramatic stretch of Pacific Coast Highway, power is concentrated in a few core enclaves: Malibu Colony and Serra Retreat, both secure, gate-guarded communities long favored by entertainment, tech, and finance elites; Carbon Beach, known as “Billionaire’s Beach,” where architecturally significant beachfront residences sit directly on the sand; Broad Beach, a prestige corridor of generous lots and understated luxury; and Point Dume, with its coveted headlands, beach key access, and low-profile celebrity estates. Just inland, neighborhoods like Malibu Park, home to standout properties such as Horizon on Horizon Drive, offer larger view parcels, equestrian and lifestyle flexibility, and a quieter residential feel while still delivering fast access to beaches, dining, and the PCH. Together, these micro-markets form a rare mix of privacy, brand-name location, and true ocean proximity that keeps Malibu at the top of global wish lists for primary residences, weekend compounds, and trophy coastal holdings. Navigating these coveted coastal enclaves, high-net-worth buyers and sellers consistently seek out Madison Hildebrand and Jennifer Chrisman of The Malibu Life team, who quietly lead Malibu’s luxury market with deep, on-the-ground knowledge and a long track record across oceanfront, blufftop, and hillside properties. Backed by Compass, they understand the nuances between Malibu Colony and Carbon Beach, the lifestyle differences of Point Dume, Broad Beach, and Malibu Park, and how to position a property or a search at the right moment in the cycle. For clients

SOUTHERN FLORIDA Florida O

ver recent years, an influx of affluent buyers has transformed South Florida’s luxury real estate market into one of the nation’s most dynamic coastlines. According to Chad Carroll, founder of The Chad Carroll Group at Compass and the firm’s top agent in Florida with over $9 billion in career sales, the region’s primary allure lies in its extraordinary diversity of residential lifestyles. In Fort Lauderdale, Harbor Beach remains a premier destination for boating enthusiasts seeking privacy and immediate ocean access. The exclusive, guard-gated enclave features fewer than 400 residences situated minutes from the inlet. Buyers are drawn to the ability to keep a yacht directly behind their home while still being close to Fort Lauderdale’s beaches, dining and entertainment. Highlighting the community is 1400 W Lake Drive, listed by Carroll, a standout estate offering 250-feet of deep-water frontage tailored for large vessels alongside resort-style outdoor features. Further south, Miami’s historic Bayside District marries architectural heritage with contemporary luxury along Biscayne Bay. Here, Prescott Estates, represented by The Chad Carroll Group, introduces five waterfront residences set across 345 linear feet of bay frontage, complete with four deep-water docks capable of accommodating yachts up to 100-feet and sweeping views of downtown Miami and Miami Beach. For buyers, the appeal is a combination of direct bay access, new construction and proximity to the heart of Miami, all within an established residential neighborhood. To the north, Delray Beach caters to buyers prioritizing space and seclusion. Modern Garden Estates offers an exclusive collection of 20 custom residences, each situated on a minimum of one acre. Among them, Dusk spans 8,140-square feet, featuring eight bedrooms, eleven bathrooms and a private guest house. Buyers gravitate here for the opportunity to have significantly more land and privacy without giving up easy access to the area’s restaurants,

shopping and beaches. The Chad Carroll Group is leading sales for the project. Together, these distinct communities showcase the versatility of South Florida’s high-end market, spanning established boating havens, historic waterfront neighborhoods and expansive private grounds. ■ Photo Credit: Daniel Petroni / The Chad Carroll Group

COLORADO SPRINGS Colorado

Colorado Springs doesn’t just sit in the shadow of Pikes Peak – it

lives up to it, with a collection of distinctive luxury neighborhoods that give high-net-worth buyers real choice in how they want to live, entertain, and invest. From resort-caliber country clubs to wooded estates and gated mountain enclaves, this Front Range hub has quietly matured into one of the most strategic lifestyle markets in the West.

Nearby, Flying Horse North turns up the privacy and scale with expansive custom estates, newer luxury construction, and panoramic views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range. Northeast of the city, Cathedral Pines offers luxury estates on wooded acreage amid towering ponderosa pines in one of Black Forest’s most exclusive communities, while Kissing Camels delivers an iconic gated golf lifestyle with Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak as a daily backdrop.

SADDLE RIVER New Jersey

Saddle River, NJ is a quiet powerhouse for those who want

discretion, land, and beautiful architecture within a close proximity of Manhattan. Long known for its gated estates, winding country roads, and low-density zoning, this Bergen County enclave trades congestion for space and privacy, with most properties measured in acres, not square feet. Here, classic brick manors, stone chateaus, and newer custom builds sit behind mature landscaping and long, private drives, creating a real separation between public and personal life. Top-rated schools, a strong town services grid, and proximity to both private airports and major highways make it a strategic choice for executives, entrepreneurs, and generational-wealth families who need to move easily between global and local. Lifestyle here is residential-first: tennis courts, pools, guesthouses, and curated outdoor entertaining areas are part of the everyday fabric, with nearby fine dining, luxury retail, and country clubs extending that experience beyond the gate. Inventory is limited and expectations are high, which is why many of the most significant transactions are handled quietly. At the center of this world is Vicki Gaily of Special Properties, a division of Brook Hollow Group Inc., a trusted name in Saddle River Real Estate whose long track record with properties like the renowned “Chateau Sheree” gives her direct access to the upper tier of buyers and sellers. For those looking at the New York area and asking where they can still secure true estate living, privacy, and long-term value, Saddle River continues to be the answer, and Vicki remains the advisor connecting that demand with the properties that very rarely come to market. ■

SEATTLE

Washington S

eattle has quietly evolved into one of the most compelling places in the country for high net worth buyers to actually live, not just visit. Anchored by global names in technology, aerospace, and biotech, the city draws founders, executives, and investors who want real culture, real privacy, and real views. Glassy new towers, reimagined historic buildings, and landmark estates on Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, and along the shores of Lake Washington give buyers very different ways to plug into the same elevated lifestyle, from full-service penthouse living to lush, gated compounds minutes from the city’s core. What makes Seattle feel different is the mix: world-class dining and coffee, a serious contemporary art and gallery scene, a thriving performing arts calendar, and direct access to the water and mountains. Residents can move from a board meeting to a gallery opening to a sunset cruise on Elliott Bay in the same evening, with snow-capped peaks and ferries as the constant backdrop. Neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Madison Park, and DennyBlaine have become shorthand for quiet, established wealth, while South Lake Union and Belltown attract a new generation of luxury buyers who want to walk to offices, stadiums, and restaurants. In a market this discreet, representation matters. Few know the city’s upper-tier inventory better than trusted luxury advisor Moira Holley of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty. With a long track record representing significant penthouses, modern architectural homes, and legacy view properties, she guides clients to the pockets of Seattle that best match how they want to live—whether that is a glass-wrapped residence above the skyline, or a secluded estate framed by evergreens and designed for art, entertaining, and long-term wealth building. ■

HIGHLANDS North Carolina H

ighlands, North Carolina has long been the quiet summer address of choice for families and executives who want mountain air, privacy, and a sense of tradition without sacrificing sophistication. Set at roughly 4,000 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it offers cool, mild summers, forested trails, waterfall hikes, and fly-fishing streams, all within a town that still feels like a true small community. Long considered an escape for Atlanta and Charlotte buyers, Highlands has evolved into a year-round destination to live, with boutique restaurants, galleries, and seasonal arts festivals that bring a steady rhythm of culture to the mountains. The gated communities surrounding town, including Ravenel Ridge and the country club enclaves, feature legacy homes oriented to postcard views, large porches, and entertaining spaces that connect indoor and outdoor living. Architectural styles range from updated mountain cottages to substantial custom homes designed to sit lightly on the land, with native stone, timber, and expansive windows framing layers of blue ridgelines. For high net worth buyers, the appeal is clear: gated privacy, club amenities, and a sense of community that still prioritizes discretion. In a market where properties rarely come available and much of the activity is relationship driven, experienced representation is essential. W. Terry Potts of Country Club Properties of Highlands has built his career around these mountain communities, from Ravenel Ridge to Highlands Country Club and beyond. His long-standing presence in Highlands and deep knowledge of club life, golf properties, and view homes make him a trusted guide for buyers looking to put down roots in one of the most coveted mountain communities of the Blue Ridge Mountains. ■
