> Over £440,000 raised for Fine & Country Foundation An avid supporter and international ambassador of the Fine & Country Foundation, Fine & Country Algarve recently donated 5,000 Euros to their chosen charity, the Bom Samaritano orphanage. The donation came about by way of a charity raffle at the British Chambers’ Christmas Gala Dinner held on 6th December, where Fine & Country Algarve offered to double the funds raised in the raffle and then rounded it up. Zoie Hawker, Managing Partner of Fine & Country Algarve, said: “We are happy to have reached our target with this latest donation of 10,000 Euros, donated to such a worthy cause. As the first international Fine & Country office to become an ambassador of the Foundation, we chose the Bom Samaritano orphanage here in the Algarve as our charity, with the objective of helping them fund a new minibus, among other much-needed investments. We have had a great year, far exceeding our sales targets and it’s rewarding for us to share our success with those in need.” Christmas came early for another special cause in Denia. Fine & Country Costa Blanca North was delighted to present a cheque from the Foundation for the sum of £3,400 (4,000 Euros) to Silva Barnish, the founder of ‘It’s All About the Children – El Preventorio De Gandia’ Children’s home.
Fine & Country Costa Blanca North nominated the charity in October, when the brand’s international and UK offices were given the opportunity to nominate local charities. The Denia Regional Office knew about the charity through BayRadio in Javea and their founder Silvia Barnish, who has worked tirelessly for over 12 years raising funds for the children’s home, which needs 200,000 Euros a year to run, yet only receives 12,000 Euros from Spanish government grants. Jacqueline Hara from Fine & Country Costa Blanca North said: “When we found out the Fine & Country Foundation had accepted the grant application for It’s All About the Children – El Preventoria De Gandia and they were going to receive £3,400, we were thrilled. We look forward to working together with Silvia to help raise awareness and support for this worthy charity.”

ush gardens packed with tropical blooms lead down to a golden-sand beach. Clusters of trees dotted along the beach provide welcome patches of shade, protecting punters from the full force of the afternoon sun. The turquoise water is clear and inviting, gently sloping to swimming depth and while several other sunseekers are lying under thatched umbrellas, they are well positioned, allowing for a feeling of privacy. I claim a sun-lounger, unrolling the plush beach towel and dropping my sarong onto the sand. I can’t wait any longer to dip my toes in the Indian Ocean. I’ve been in Mauritius for all of four hours. My first hour was taken up by the transfer to Maradiva Villas Resort and Spa, my home for the next few days. The hotel’s high occupancy and my early arrival meant my room was not yet available, so my second hour was spent sipping on a much-needed coffee at Coast2Coast, Maradiva’s casual all-day dining restaurant. It’s largely open air and birds flit from table to table, checking for crumbs. My next two hours were all about the Maradiva Spa. The spa’s design is strongly influenced by Indian philosophy and I started with a consultation with Dr Praveen Nair, the spa’s Ayurvedic Doctor. He explained that Ayurvedic treatments are not for everyone, but suggested I would benefit from one, making me feel special. He handed me over to a therapist who guided me to the changing rooms, collecting me as I popped out the other side by the pool that forms the centre of the spa structure. The treatment room was the first hint this was not going to be an ordinary spa experience. The massage table is made of wood, looking more like a torture device than an instrument of relaxation. Looks can be deceiving though, and with the therapist’s ministrations teasing the flight tension from my muscles, the wooden table was simply a firm support. Post-massage, it took a cup of herbal ginger tea in the relaxation area by the pool to reacquaint me with my senses. A quick bite to eat, and now I’m about to dip my toes in. The water temperature is that perfect balance between refreshingly cool and soothingly warm. There’s a current that drifts along the shore and I kick lazily to stay in place. Across the bay is Le Morne Brabant, a basaltic monolith, with Tamarin Bay at its base, providing a mesmerising backdrop. A few white, puffy clouds inch across the brilliant-blue sky as if reluctant to leave the bay. I can understand why. Late afternoon, I drag myself away from the beach to check in. The 65 elegant villas are dotted along the avenues that gently wind between the main parts of the hotel and the beach. Nowhere is too far to walk, but the less energetic can summon a golf cart for transport through the gardens to wherever whim dictates. Every villa has a private pool with a daybed. Mine also has a spacious outdoor lounge and, inside, there’s custom-designed Hermes wallpaper behind the bedhead, wooden floors, and a colour palette of burnt orange and beige. There’s a large walk-in wardrobe and a generously ➤➤

proportioned bathroom, with a free-standing bath and a monsoon shower. The external wall of the bathroom is entirely glass, opening onto a small garden oasis, leaving me feeling like I’m showering outdoors. In case the indoor-outdoor shower experience is not sufficient, there’s an additional shower on the garden wall. Refreshed and dressed for dinner, I head to Cilantro, where a trio of musicians entertains guests. This temple of gastronomy dishes up delicious modern Indian specialities with a large dose of flair. Maradiva also has an extraordinarily skilled Japanese Chef. She oversees the Teppan counter in a dedicated space that’s reminiscent of theatre in the round – and she puts on a stunning performance; expect expert knife skills, quick flipping and flames. Guests at Maradiva can also dine at one of the three restaurants at sister property Sands Suites Resort & Spa, a short walk along the shore, with Pink PepperCorn dishing up salads, sumptuous fresh seafood dishes and grilled dishes right by the beach. Should anyone wish to dig deeper into the blend of flavours that makes up Mauritian cuisine, cooking classes are available, often held in the hotel’s lush organic garden, ‘Karo du Chef’. There’s more to Mauritius than fantastic food and beautiful beaches, though. Beyond the hotel, there are bustling markets selling food and trinkets, colourful Hindu temples, and colonial mansions, such as Chateau de Labourdonnais, awaiting exploration. At the local beach at Cap Malheureux, beyond the distinctive red-roofed church Notre Dame
Auxiliatrice, fishermen stand at tables in the shallow water selling their wares. The Pamplemousse Botanical Garden, located just outside the capital, Port Louis, is one of the oldest gardens in the Southern Hemisphere. Around the island, boat and catamaran charters whisk sightseers to snorkelling sites and remote islands and visitors flock to the sand dunes of the Seven Coloured Earth in the Chamarel mountains, where a natural geological phenomenon caused by the volcanic activity sees the sands aligned in a rainbow of red, copper, yellow, green, blue and purple stripes. Nearby, Black River Gorges National Park offers signposted hiking trails that lead through green forests, with wild monkeys, waterfalls and breathtaking views. In Port Louis, Fort Adelaide, built by the English, towers over the city, offering spectacular views that include Champ de Mars, the world’s second-oldest horse racing track. Races have been held here since 1812 and continue every Saturday from May to November. There are tea plantations and rum distilleries, museums, restaurants and nightlife, mountains, temples, churches and mosques. No matter how long you stay on the island, there is not enough time. Perhaps that’s for the best. That’s why Mauritius stays in mind and heart – there is always more. Mark Twain said it all: “Mauritius was made first, and then heaven; and that heaven was copied after Mauritius.” n

t the 20th annual International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) awards, six European Tour Destinations venues won regional awards, with PGA Catalunya Resort also winning a sustainability award for its commitment to nature, alongside the Hotel Experience Award for Spain. The resort originally achieved GEO Certified status in 2013, and has retained this by focussing on reducing consumption, as well as exploring opportunities for diversifying energy sources. The contemporary five-star Hotel Camiral at PGA Catalunya Resort benefits from its location, just 10 minutes from Girona and within easy reach of Barcelona. Patrons are spoilt for choice here, with a range of health and wellness opportunities, ranging from pampering facials to fitness classes and remedial sports massage at the spa. With the option of two courses, including the spectacular Stadium Course, which is consistently ranked among the best ten golf courses in Europe, sporting opportunities abound. Lighthouse Golf and Spa Hotel was the Bulgarian winner. The hotel has been a fantastic addition to the resort. Its coastal location on a spectacular plateau on the white cliffs provides breathtaking views over the Black Sea. The 12th, 13th and 14th greens are in the immediate surroundings of the hotel, making it possible for guests to watch a golf match, as there are panoramic views of the golf course from the hotel. With views over the Mediterranean, Verdura Resort was the Italian winner. Set amongst olive groves on the southwest coast of Sicily, the resort boasts 1.8 kilometres of private coastline. In addition to the two 18-hole courses and a 9-hole par 3 course, the 230-hectare resort features an award-winning spa. The location lends itself to a range of water sports and has a 60-metre, two-tier infinity pool. The Golf Experience Award for France was presented to Le Golf National’s Albatros Course. Situated close to Paris and Versailles, the course has been the home of the French Open since 1991 and hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup, where Europe was victorious. It combines the traditional links style with modern characteristics. The course, previously an agricultural site, was originally designed by Hubert Chesneau and Robert Von Hagge in 1990 and was developed ➤➤

primarily from recycled construction materials. The resort has effectively revitalised the degraded ecosystem, which played an important part in Le Golf National achieving GEO certification. It has become a showcase example for the positive impact golf can have on preserving and revitalising natural systems. Finca Cortesin, in addition to receiving awards for outstanding customer service, was awarded the Golf Experience Award for Spain. The resort makes the most of the harmonious relationship between the natural Mediterranean landscape and environment. Blessed with excellent weather all year round, it provides a perfect setting for golfers to enjoy the 18-hole championship course. Thailand’s Black Mountain Golf Club was also a winner in the Golf Experience Award. The club has received many awards over the years; however, Managing Director Harald Elisson, who accepted the award, said this award was particularly significant as it was the vote of international golf industry travel organisations.
The jewel in the crown for European Tour Destinations in 2019 was the listing of more than half of the 20 European Tour Destinations network in the top 100 courses in Continental Europe by Golf World magazine. A further six courses featured in the next 100, indicating they were close contenders. Let’s see what 2020 brings. n

avea is a jewel on Spain’s Costa Blanca, the coastal town combining beauty and modern facilities with the charm of an ancient fishing village. Situated on the side of the Montgó Massif, behind a wide bay and sheltered between two rocky headlands, Javea has become a popular seaside resort and market town. With 320 days of sunshine, the historic town, which is free of high-rise buildings, has much to offer. The clean, warm, blue Mediterranean Sea laps the beautiful beaches and coves Javea has to offer. With the variety of landscapes, ranging from sandy coastlines to rugged mountain areas, a mild climate year-round, careful planning policies and extensive tourist facilities, Javea is one of those dreamy Spanish locations. It is approximately 100 kilometres from two major airports – Alicante and Valencia. Javea’s old town is steeped in history, evident in the architecture, with its Tosca stone porticoes, Gothic bay windows, wrought-iron window bars and balcony railings. The church of San Bartolemé in the town centre is a picture-perfect example of late Gothic architecture. The ‘Soler Blasco’ Archaeological Museum is close by, offering a wealth of information about Iberian history. Dominating the fishing port is the modern silhouette of the church of Nuestra Señora de Loreto, with its roof depicting a ship’s hull. Outside the town, following the road to the San Antonio cape, architectural sites include the monastery of Nuestra Señora de los Angeles, a series of small hermitages clutching the slopes of the mountain, and a series of ancient windmills. In the centre of town, the covered indoor market sells fresh local produce: fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, brought up from the port daily. The importance of the town’s maritime activities is also apparent in the port area, Aduanas de Mar, which boasts a lovely promenade and some high-class fish restaurants. The fishing harbour is next to an attractive marina, a lovely area for a morning or evening stroll. Pavement cafés and bars overlook the Mediterranean, inviting passers-by to linger. The Arenal area features a sandy bay with palm trees, framed by the promenade with a selection of bars and restaurants. Javea has water sport and fishing facilities, from sailing to scuba diving, and sports clubs and associations including tennis, horse riding and shooting.

on the Costa Blanca coast. Put simply, it is breathtaking, designed in appreciation of the beautiful views available to a coastal property of this magnitude. Set in a prominent, elevated position, the luxurious 10-bedroom, 12-bathroom villa impresses with its fantastic location, modern design, elegant architecture and the finest materials and bespoke fittings. It offers exceptional living and entertaining areas, laid out to respond to the passage of the sun throughout the course of the day. The owner has spared no expense in the interior design and, in the main living areas, has used a colour palette of white and turquoise, quintessential coastal colours that evoke the sea and sky and capture the sunny serenity of white sands and blue waters. From the grand portico entrance, the marble-floored hallway displays a majestic sweeping marble and hand-forged wrought-iron staircase, with a suspended light fitting cascading like a modern work of art. The main lounge area has been cleverly designed as the centrepiece of the vast open-plan living area, with imposing white columns, a bespoke modern glass chandelier light fitting, and archways that lead to several secondary living areas and a designer kitchen, with top-of-the-range fittings and appliances and a central island with built-in hobs. The kitchen allows for distraction, with wonderful sea views to enjoy while cooking. In addition to the main dining area, there is a separate family room with a lounge area with a built-in fire and a breakfast area that leads to the outside terrace. All in all, there are four main reception rooms, as well as a study/ office, TV room, games room and separate laundry room. The 10 bedrooms include a master bedroom suite with a separate lounge and dressing area and an en-suite marble bathroom with an elevated Jacuzzi, where you can bathe while taking in sea views. Externally, there are two infinity swimming pools overlooking the sea, various terraces for sunbathing, and covered terrace areas for al fresco dining and entertaining. There is also a separate large terrace area that has a heliport licence. The beautiful landscaped gardens include a pergola and a variety of shrubs, plants and lawn areas. Access to the property is via an electric security gated entrance with a long private driveway with ample car parking and separate garaging. Naturally, a property of this size has a multitude of features. One thing is certain though, the highlight is the location. Life in this property allows residents to answer the age-old question of whether you can ever tire of a spectacular view. ■

Coming home T
here’s something special about the Maldives. It’s more than the brilliant white sand, the breathtakingly blue ocean and the lush tropical foliage; it’s the sum of these things with an abundance of sunshine thrown in for good measure, and a laid-back air that makes it impossible to rush. Despite a plethora of activities on offer, from sunset cruises to sports and manta snorkelling, to the spa, Amilla Fushi retains that Maldivian sense of calm. The island paradise, which translates to ‘my island home’, is in the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll, a short seaplane hop from Malé. It’s large enough to warrant the bicycles assigned to each villa, but not too large to walk around, should the urge hit. Amilla is not a Maldivian thatched roof and wood-style resort. Instead, it is a striking collection of white, minimalist structures with modern lines that range from 200 square metres to a mammoth 3,000 square metres. Interiors feature abstract prints, sleek lines and natural wood furnishings, with large bathrooms with monsoon showers, oval bathtubs and Aesop toiletries. There are Over-Water Villas and Beach Villas, but in a nod to the unusual, there are also Treetop Pool Villas in the foliage in the centre of the island, all with private pools suspended on the deck for a unique perspective, which ups the ‘wow’ factor. The dining concepts at Amilla are also far from mundane. The Baazaar dining area by the infinity pool houses a row of eateries, including breakfast restaurant Fresh; Asian-fusion WOK; British-style Fish and Chips with fresh Maldivian seafood; Barolo Grill Italian Kitchen; Joe’s Pizza; and the casual Baazaar Bar. On the end of a pier, the signature Japanese restaurant, Feeling Koi, lures punters with its brand of Japanese-inspired, South American -influenced dishes. Whichever villa you choose, wherever you eat, and whatever you fill your days with, Amilla is bound to exceed your expectations. My island home? More like my island dream. www.amilla.mv

Six reasons to stage before selling If you’re looking to achieve the highest possible return for your property and a quick sale, home staging may be the answer. Fine & Country Interior Design provides six reasons to consider staging your property before marketing for sale.
P
reparing your home for sale can increase the positive impact on prospective buyers’ perceptions of the property and home staging is one of several tools that can be used to accomplish this. To achieve the best possible outcome when selling, it is important to ensure your home appeals to the highest number of potential buyers. Often property professionals will use home staging as a marketing tool to highlight the home’s prime selling features. At its core, home staging involves preparing the home to be listed by using methods that improve the property’s appeal and transform it into an attractive and welcoming space. Here are six situations where home staging adds value.
The property is empty or has some empty rooms Potential buyers can lack the vision to imagine how their furniture will fit in a potential new home. Home stagers maximise the impact of each space, highlighting key features and demonstrating the lifestyle the property can offer. Tired décor or patterned carpets Many of today’s buyers are looking for a ‘turnkey’ home and are willing to pay more for this. The last thing they want is to buy a house with a long list of jobs that need attention. Home stagers have a team of contractors who can act quickly to turn your property into a turnkey home.
26
Too much clutter Home stagers can help tackle the clutter and make recommendations on what pieces can be used for staging and what pieces should be packed away ready for your move.
Staging creates an impressive online presence Most people begin the buying process online, so it is important that your house has a visual advantage over the competition. Staging ensures your house is seen wearing its best dress.
The property is on a busy road or next to a train line Some factors are beyond your control, but staging can help potential buyers see past obvious flaws and fall in love with the house anyway.
It helps buyers imagine themselves in the house Experienced home stagers know how to create an aspirational lifestyle and capture the imagination of a potential buyer. n

Portugal Palácio Faria, Príncipe Real, Lisbon The result of an extensive restoration project, Faria Palace stands out on the south side of Praça do Príncipe Real, its striking façade reflecting the sumptuous tastes of its original owner. This is just one of its façades, since the area of Faria Palace is so vast it allows for a second entrance, on Travessa Abarracamento de Peniche. The two entrances provide access to the two buildings that compose the project, and that have been joined by a shared underground garage, and a garden that reproduces the verdant greens of the palace’s surroundings. The six apartments perfectly blend history and comfort, sophistication and timelessness. Each apartment is a place of comfort, but also of functionality and convenience: essential concepts for anyone living at the pace of the city and who requires a home to be both a peaceful refuge, and a place to enjoy the company of one’s friends. A true story that reinvented itself several times. Like all good stories, this one is made up of people, nurtured by time and takes place in an idyllic setting. A place full of experiences, life and other smaller stories.
