FARES GHATTAS ON BITEXEN GLOBAL AND THE FUTURE OF LUXURY IN CRYPTO

At Bitexen Global, we believe that the future of wealth is digital and that luxury is no longer defined only by physical assets, but also by how seamlessly people interact with innovation.

Bitexen Global was built to empower a new generation of investors, brands, and creators who understand that digital currencies are more than just a financial tool — they are an expression of freedom, sophistication, and forward-thinking.

Our platform bridges accessibility with trust. We focus on creating a secure, intuitive, and rewarding ecosystem where users can trade, earn, and participate in the global digital economy with confidence. Whether it’s through staking programs, referral rewards, or tokenized assets, we are constantly reimagining how value can move across borders and industries.

What excites me most is how this transformation aligns perfectly with the world of luxury. The luxury sector has always been about exclusivity, innovation, and emotion — the same values that drive blockchain technology. We’re now seeing fashion houses, art galleries, hospitality brands, and even private clubs integrating digital assets to elevate their client experience.

Bitexen Global is not just part of this evolution — we are helping shape it. We envision a world where crypto meets culture, and where every transaction carries both financial and emotional value. It’s about creating an ecosystem where innovation meets elegance, and where the digital economy becomes the new frontier of luxury.

Sun Siyam Iru Veli: An Elevated Island Escape

The Maldives has long been synonymous with unspoiled luxury, but Sun Siyam Iru Veli raises the bar, curating an experience where refined living blends seamlessly with barefoot elegance. Located in the Dhaalu Atoll, this five-star hideaway embodies the essence of indulgence—sleek suites with private pools, gastronomic journeys at every turn, and curated experiences that balance adventure with tranquility.

A Grand Arrival

Arriving from sister resort Vilu Reef, guests are welcomed with the Maldivian “Maruhaba” and escorted into the sophisticated setting of the Chemistry Bar. With panoramic ocean views and an understated elegance, the bar offers the perfect first taste of Iru Veli’s refined atmosphere. It feels less like a check-in and more like a transition into a new worlds.

Dining as Theatre

Culinary artistry takes center stage at Iru Veli. Lunch begins at Teppanyaki, where sizzles and flames meet precision and flair, turning a meal into a performance. Dinner at Roma follows, presenting the refined flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, each course paired with exceptional wines from the resort’s impressive cellar.

The indulgence continues throughout the stay: fresh seafood and premium cuts at Grouper Grill, a decadent Lobster BBQ on Spa Beach under the stars, and the daily delights of Aqua Orange, where international dishes meet ocean views. Each dining venue offers not just nourishment, but an atmosphere—intimate, stylish, and unforgettable.

Experiences Beyond Expectation

Iru Veli crafts experiences that are both thrilling and indulgent. Water sports offer adventure in the crystal-clear lagoon, while snorkeling trips and guided marine encounters highlight the vibrant biodiversity beneath the waves. Evenings bring cinematic magic with Cinema by Moonlight, where guests watch films over the ocean, popcorn in hand, with the night sky as their ceiling.

No Maldivian retreat would be complete without rejuvenation, and Iru Veli’s Ocean Spa delivers it with

excellence. A 60-minute treatment overlooking the lagoon is a holistic escape—the perfect pause to refresh body and mind before another evening of celebration.

A Celebration of Maldivian Heritage

Iru Veli excels not only at international luxury but also at honoring its roots. The Maldivian Roots Dinner offers a buffet of traditional island flavors, rich with authenticity. A cultural showcase at Chemistry Bar follows, where guests are transported to the Maldives’ soul through storytelling, dance, and the traditional Maldivian rhythm of “Bodu Beru.” It is here that refinement meets tradition, giving visitors a deeper connection to the islands.

The Island Aesthetic

With beach and overwater suites, each complete with a private freshwater pool, the resort epitomizes barefoot sophistication. Whether it’s breakfast on the terrace with the ocean at your feet or evenings surrounded by the hush of the lagoon, every suite offers intimacy and exclusivity. The design is modern yet warm, allowing nature’s beauty to take center stage.

The Ultimate Experience: Cinema by Moonlight

For those seeking the pinnacle of indulgence, Iru Veli offers The Ultimate Experience — a private cruise unlike

any other. As the vessel sails into the Indian Ocean, the upper deck transforms into a floating cinema under the stars. A screen is set against the night sky, fresh popcorn flows from the boat’s own machine, and chilled champagne is served as the waves shimmer below. Reclining on plush loungers with the ocean breeze in the air, guests watch their chosen film in complete seclusion. It is a one-of-a-kind fusion of luxury, intimacy, and cinematic magic — an experience that redefines what it means to escape.

A Fond Farewell

On the final morning, breakfast at Aqua Orange feels like a memorable good bye. The spread is as abundant

as ever, but departure lingers in the air. As guests prepare to leave, they carry more than memories—they take with them a collection of moments: cinematic sunsets, cultural rhythms, indulgent flavors, and the effortless elegance that defines Sun Siyam Iru Veli.

This is not just a resort. It is a sanctuary where sophistication, serenity, and soul meet. For those who demand the extraordinary in their travels, Sun Siyam Iru Veli offers an island escape that is as elevated as it is unforgettable.

Discover the Art of Skiing in Big Sky, Montana

Tucked away in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Big Sky, Montana is where winter still feels wild.

The iconic palace hotel collaborates with the storied Parisian aesthetic medicine clinic to unveil the Maison Lutétia suite at The Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre

Beginning 1 October 2025, the advanced skincare treatments of Maison Lutétia, one of Paris’s most renowned medical aesthetic clinics, will be offered in a dedicated space at The Peninsula Paris. The new Maison Lutétia Suite, which will occupy pride of place at the hotel’s Spa & Wellness Centre, will let guests experience the best of both brands: world-class, state-of-the-art aesthetic therapies paired with peerlessly luxurious hospitality.

Designed as a sanctum where science meets sensoriality, the spacious, modern new suite will showcase a menu of exceptional skincare treatments that have earned Maison Lutétia worldwide acclaim over the past ten years. These offerings, which employ the clinic’s proprietary technology and products, align seamlessly with the wider array of carefully personalized, expertly administered rituals provided at The Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre.

A Shared Commitment to Excellence

In creating the new co-branded suite, The Peninsula Paris and Maison Lutétia aim to provide more than a new med-spa destination. Rather, the brands seek to open a new chapter in Parisian luxury, where guests can rediscover a sense of confidence – and feel more fully themselves – in unparalleled and customized comfort.

Founded by Nathanaël Aknine in 2015, Maison Lutétia immediately set a new benchmark for aesthetic medicine in the City of Light. Housed in a splendid Haussmannian townhouse in Paris’s 17th

Destination Unlocked

arrondissement, near Parc Monceau, the clinic became known across Europe for its highly effective non-invasive facial rejuvenation and body contouring programmes. Its founding mission, which it maintains to this day, is to combine innovative technologies, medical expertise, and a refined, discreet approach to care.

Encompassing 1,800 square metres, The Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre is the largest spa in Paris – and a serene sanctuary of relaxation, revitalization, and renewal. Its soft lighting and expansive, elegantly appointed treatment rooms create a warm, tranquil atmosphere, where guests can indulge in wellness rituals that incorporate both modern advances and centuries-old traditions. The facilities include six individual treatment rooms, two private suites, a 20-metre indoor pool, two vitality pools, a sauna, a hammam, a relaxation room, and two fully equipped fitness areas, offering guests truly holistic opportunities to enhance their well-being.

The Expert Cellulaire® Treatment by Maison Lutétia

A featured treatment that will be available to guests in the new Maison Lutétia Suite is The Expert Cellulaire Treatment : an exclusive facial protocol designed to stimulate cellular metabolism and target visible signs of ageing, including dullness, fatigue, laxity, and uneven texture. During the 90-minute treatment, advanced technologies are combined with expert techniques to deeply revitalise the skin, without causing irritation.

Recipients emerge feeling both indulged and rejuvenated, with a radiant glow.

The treatment comprises the following steps:

Progressive Aquapeel: A triple-acid peel (lactic, salicylic, and hyaluronic acids) first cleanses, refines the skin’s texture, and provides intense hydration.

Electroporation of Active Ingredients: A hyaluronic acid mask is next applied for deep infusion of nourishing and regenerating compounds.

Targeted Electrostimulation is then used to enhance facial contours and improve skin tone.

Cryotherapy & Thermotherapy: Alternating cold and gentle warmth helps lock in active ingredients, stimulate microcirculation, and reveal an immediate glow.

LED Light Therapy: A final illumination with a medical-grade light enhances the treatment’s benefits while soothing the skin.

Each step of the treatment is precisely orchestrated, and each technology carefully selected, to maximize the benefits to and appearance of the skin.

“Preserving masterpieces below, creating connections above.”

Leading The Way: Six Senses is reigniting professional potential

amongst a growing movement of CEOs and C-Suite leaders

High-performing executives are embracing a transformative new truth: peak leadership starts with peak well-being. In today’s high-pressure world of relentless connectivity and always ‘ON’ culture, Six Senses is empowering rising numbers of leadership professionals to reawaken optimum professional performance.

Whether remote or urban, Six Senses properties take CEOs and C-Suite executives beyond their destination into new discoveries. Encounters are designed to empower leaders of today and tomorrow to unlock sharper decision-making, build resilience under pressure, and lead with clarity, calm, and purpose.

Mark Sands, Six Senses Vice President of Wellness, said: “Too often, a CEO is operating on autopilot and not registering the behaviors that are negatively impacting their nervous system – everything from screen time and food choices, to sacrificing sleep, recovery, and time for moments of stillness. This not only has a harmful impact on how they show up, but also has a ripple effect on their business, colleagues and contemporaries.

“Although that’s changing. Refreshingly, we see more of our guests who operate at that high-level recognizing how their well-being directly impacts their professional

longevity. It’s something we see being intentionally built into their busy schedules, whether through an hour spent in one of our biohacking lounges after a long business flight or committing to an intentional, fully immersive 7-day retreat at Six Senses Vana. What we do is meet people where they are and take them on a journey to where they want to be. By stepping away from the relentlessness of the working world, we’re able to reawaken the tools within that enable our guests to show up as the very best version of themselves.”

Six Senses stands at the forefront of conversations and innovations that impact mind, body and spirit. Its integrated wellness programs blend innovative, advanced science with authentic ritualistic techniques, combining methods of ancient wisdom like sound healing, breathwork and ayurveda, with modern science technologies such as biohacking. Personalized programs are tailored to identify, respond to, and even prevent the impact high-powered professionals may face.

The business of biohacking, a method to move mountains

Six Senses Crans-Montana, Switzerland

High in the Alps where the air and attitude are fresh, Six Senses Crans-Montana presents a high-altitude playground where CEOs replace high pressure boardrooms with high-tech biohacking. Within the 2,000 square-meter Spa, a state-of-the-art biohacking lounge is equipped with a spectrum of smart tech – including

NormaTec compression boots, Hyperice X contrast therapy treatment, portable percussion massage machines, and Venom Back Wraps – to optimize the body’s natural recovery processes and melt away stress and soothe tension.

A weightless floatation pod, and variety of cryotherapy and thermotherapy facilities invite guests to take the plunge in pursuit of boosted brain cognition. Along with the traditional Swiss Sauna, a Rock Sauna draws inspiration from the surrounding granite peaks and the Bio Salt Sauna, adorned with rose pink Himalayan salt bricks, a crystal known as the master healer, further enhances detoxification and improves focus. In contrast, the cold plunge and ice fountain stimulate circulation and oxygen uptake to boost the body’s immune system.

Unique to Six Senses Crans-Montana, Aufguss ceremonies led by skilled Sauna Meisters offer a multi-sensory wellness ritual combining music, storytelling, temperature variations, aromas, and dance. Aufguss enhances the benefits of a sauna session, leaving business leaders feeling mentally and physically revived.

The Power of Purpose

Sparking creativity and igniting imagination, pinchme’ moments enable executives to experience extraordinary moments as they step beyond the everyday. These transformative experiences are enriched by

local traditions, regional flavors, and the wisdom of remarkable masters – from spiritual guides and expert foragers to world-class divers and karate champions –to open new perspectives, ignite curiosity, and guide leaders toward a deeper sense of clarity, meaning, and purpose. For example:

Glide the Gulf stream

Six Senses Zighy Bay, Oman

Thrill-seeking and liberating in equal measure is the invitation to leap into the skies at 960 feet (290 meters) atop Zighy Mountain. Paragliding in tandem with an experienced pilot, guests are carried by the winds as they arrive at Six Senses Zighy Bay on Oman’s Musandam Peninsula.

Ignite the flame

Six Senses Bhutan, Bhutan

Rooted in Bhutanese tradition, fire ceremonies offer leaders a profound opportunity to pause, reflect, and release by harnessing the transformative power of flame as a symbol of renewal – burning away what no longer serves and making space for clarity, intention, and purpose. Surrounded by the Himalayas, CEOs and C-Suite guests are invited into an immersive ritual guided by local experts, where the simple act of letting go becomes a catalyst for fresh perspective, resilience, and mindful leadership.

The stars align

Six Senses Southern Dunes, Saudi

At Six Senses Southern Dunes, the desert sky becomes a canvas for reflection and wonder. Far from the noise of modern life, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the stillness of the Saudi desert, where stargazing reveals a vast expanse of clarity and perspective. Under the guidance of expert astronomers, CEOs and C-Suite leaders witness constellations that have guided explorers and visionaries for centuries.

Fertile ground for fresh ideas and professional growth

Six Senses Krabey Island, Cambodia

Many spiritual people, shamans and Buddhists among them, understand that there is a direct relationship between the energetic imprint of the land and how people feel when they’re on it. And so it is that Six Senses Krabey Island serves as a natural labyrinth with giant trees that whisper, unshackled from the boundaries of 30-minute time slots and devices flashing with urgent notifications.

Sessions with a Buddhist master and meditation practitioner including Tibetan Astrology and sound healing ease the stress into a state of mindfulness while revealing new ideas about life purpose, career choices, karmic patterns, decision-making, and personal growth and relationships. Resident Wellness Doctor, Dr. Abhijith, brings a wealth of expertise and rich experience in wellness wisdom from India, integrating modern results-driven wellness strategies with traditional Shirodhara (warm oil treatment), time-honored “Kru

Khmer” (local wisdom) remedies, and nutritious Eat With Six Senses cuisine.

And the buffalo? Legend has it that a free-spirited buffalo was lost from his herd and ultimately found on the island. Six Senses Krabey Island embraces this story of lost and found, with a hope that everyone who visits can get lost in the stillness away from the busyness and distractions back home and find themselves reconnecting with the things that matter in life.

A world away from the work wardrobe

Six Senses Vana, India

Enveloped within 21 acres of forest at the foothills of the Indian Himalayas lies Six Senses Vana, a dedicated wellness retreat which commits truthfully to the traditional systems of medicine from India and its revered neighbors including China and Tibet.

Six Senses Vana is guided by the belief “all enter as equal”. This is represented by the organic kurta pajamas

Destination Unlocked

worn by retreat guests (or Vanavasis) for the duration of their stay. A practice which allows guests to bring only the essentials – encouraged to travel with just hand luggage – clearing the mind of wardrobe decisions and shedding the layers of status and expectation to instill a deep sense of purpose, presence, and inner peace.

From a few days to a full month, CEOs unshackle themselves from the demands of digital devices, replace restrictive suits for Vana’s signature white pajamas, and surrender to an individual pathway that begins with a full consultation. Ayurveda, Yoga, Sowa Rigpa and Natural Healing Therapies are fused together to remedy the most pressing concerns of elite leadership such as decision fatigue, poor sleep, high stress, and waning resilience to the daily grind.

Mark adds: “Many people operating at a high level professionally arrives a shell of themselves at check-in. What we see is that as they come away from the pressures of their role, discover something new whether that’s in our Earth Labs, Longevity Lounges, or through crafted experiences like stargazing or fire ceremonies, and surrender themselves to pinch-me moments you see that sense of purpose return. Their drive is reignited, and they become more engaged in the world around them. With just a little investment in their most valuable asset – themselves – they can return to themselves and carry that wisdom home with them.”

From simple beginnings in 1995 to its introduction to IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, the enduring vision of Six Senses remains as strong as ever: to reawaken people’s senses so they feel the purpose behind their travels and ultimately reconnect with themselves, others, and the world around them. There are now 27 Six Senses in 22 countries.

THE ART OF ISLAND ELEGANCE: SUN SIYAM VILU REEF

There are few places in the world where elegance, nature, and culture intertwine so seamlessly, and Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is one of them. Nestled in the heart of the Maldives, this intimate island sanctuary is more than just a resort — it is an invitation to rediscover paradise in its purest form. From the moment guests’ step ashore, they are embraced with warmth, refinement, and experiences designed to stay with them long after their footprints in the sand have faded.

A Welcome to Remember

On arrival, guests are greeted with the signature WOW welcome, a traditional Maldivian greeting with the rhythm of “Bodu Beru” drums — a heartfelt welcome that sets the tone for the days ahead. Check-in

at the chic Nautilus Bar feels effortless, almost like being welcomed home. With turquoise waters lapping at the shores and swaying palms completing the scene, one quickly realizes that Vilu Reef is a world apart — a retreat where time slows down, and every detail is crafted with care.

Culinary Journeys Across the Island

Dining at Vilu Reef is a celebration of flavors. The Aqua Restaurant, with its international buffet spread, becomes a morning ritual — tropical fruits, freshly baked pastries, and made-to-order delights enjoyed against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. Lunches bring their own surprises: an indulgent array of Italian classics at The Spice Restaurant one day, and an unforgettable Maldivian cooking class

at The Well Done the next, where guests prepare and savor authentic island specialties themselves. Evenings are reserved for the resort’s specialty venues, from the fresh catch of the day grilled to perfection at Well Done & Grilled Restaurant, to themed buffets highlighting global cuisines.

Adventures Above and Below the Sea

Sun Siyam Vilu Reef’s greatest treasure is its house reef, a kaleidoscope of marine life waiting to be discovered. A guided snorkeling adventure reveals vibrant corals, playful reef fish, and the serene beauty of the underwater world. For those seeking thrills, water sports like the exhilarating Jet Car Ride add a burst of adrenaline to the otherwise tranquil island rhythm.

But perhaps nothing captures the Maldivian spirit quite like the Dolphin Sunset Cruise. As the sun melts into the horizon, pods of dolphins dance alongside the boat, creating an unforgettable memory — part nature’s theater, part dreamlike spectacle.

Culture, Entertainment, and Connection

Beyond the sea and sand, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef offers a rich tapestry of cultural immersion. The “Eveylaa Zamaan” showcase brings Maldivian heritage to life through music, storytelling, and tradition, followed by the rhythmic beats of the “Bodu Beru” Maldivian drums filling the night with energy and joy. Guests also find delight in evenings at The Nautilus, where karaoke, quiz nights, bartender shows, and live DJs transform the bar into a lively social hub under the stars.

The Art of Balance

What sets Sun Siyam Vilu Reef apart is its ability to strike the perfect balance between relaxation and adventure, privacy and community, indulgence and authenticity.

Days flow effortlessly from leisurely breakfasts and serene swims to moments of cultural discovery and vibrant island nightlife. Families, couples, and solo travelers alike find a rhythm that resonates with their desires, curated with thoughtfulness and charm.

Private Beach Dinner Experience

Among the many memorable moments at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, one stands above the rest — the exclusive private beach dinner. Picture

an intimate table set directly on the soft white sands, illuminated by lanterns and the glow of the stars, with the sound of the waves as your soundtrack. A private chef crafts a personalized multi-course menu, pairing global flavors with Maldivian touches, while discreet service ensures absolute privacy. It is not just a meal, but a culinary journey in one of the most breathtaking settings imaginable, transforming an evening into a story guests will carry for a lifetime.

Destination Unlocked

A Fond Farewell

As departure approaches, guests enjoy one final leisurely breakfast by the sea before bidding farewell to their island haven. The warmth of the staff’s goodbye echoes the welcome received days before — sincere, heartfelt, and filled with the promise of return.

Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is more than a resort; it is a canvas of experiences painted with turquoise waters, golden sunsets, and unforgettable moments. For those seeking a Maldivian escape that blends barefoot luxury with cultural richness, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is a destination that lingers in the soul, long after the journey ends.

Aston Martin to develop new Residences with Valor Real Estate Development

Aston Martin today announces a new landmark real estate partnership with Valor Real Estate Development that will construct an ultra-luxury residential project in Daytona Beach, Florida - Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores - a new 86-unit development on the Atlantic coast.

Located just minutes from the iconic Daytona International Speedway and overlooking one of the world’s most famous beaches, Daytona Beach Shores marks the latest addition to Aston Martin’s established world class real estate portfolio, starting with the Aston Martin Residences in Miami to the recently completed four-bedroom town house in Tokyo’s Omotesandō neighbourhood.

As with the previous Aston Martin residential projects, the new development is a close collaboration between Aston Martin’s design team and the project real estate partner. This ensures that all properties reflect the highly crafted, beautifully proportioned and cutting-edge technology of Aston Martin’s award winning automotive models, creating unique living spaces that reflect the ultra-luxury, high performance British marque.

Aston Martin Director of Brand Diversification, Stefano Saporetti said; “For Aston Martin, real estate is a seamless brand extension with our strategic vision centered on growing Aston Martin beyond the automotive world. This crucial new multi project partnership with Valor Real Estate Development in Daytona is engineered to meet client demand for exclusive, ultra-luxury living opportunities.

‘Our growing real estate portfolio creates ultra luxury living that provides discerning clientele with a truly elevated ownership proposition, permanently reinforcing the Aston Martin brand globally.’

CEO of Valor Real Estate Development, Moises Agami said; ‘For four decades, Valor Real Estate Development has stayed true to one vision: creating iconic developments that are,

in a word, transformative. Daytona Beach Shores is a rising star in Florida’s luxury market; an exceptional community and city leadership with the vision and vitality we seek in world-class destinations.

‘Every drive deserves a destination, and partnered with Aston Martin’s unmatched craftsmanship, precision, and ultra luxury approach, Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores will redefine the market and set a new benchmark for oceanfront living in a location synonymous with speed.’

Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores is located at 3411 South Atlantic Avenue, providing residents with spectacular ocean views. The development lies just a short drive from the Daytona International Speedway. Founded in 1959, the circuit is the historic home of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race, as well as the 24 Hours of Daytona, one of the three races that form the Triple Crown of endurance racing, along with the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring.

The historic tri-oval track, which can also be configured as a 24-hour road course, has many important

associations with Aston Martin’s racing history. In 2023, the Aston Martin Vantages of The Heart of Racing scored a one-two class victory at the 61st Rolex 24 at Daytona. In January 2026, the Aston Martin THOR Team’s Valkyrie will make its Daytona debut at the 64th Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.

Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores will consist of 86 residential units arranged across an 18-floor structure covering approximately 215,000 square feet (20,000m2). The new building, which includes two parking floors, will be topped with two penthouse floors containing a total of eight ultra-luxury double-height units.

All apartments will have access to a world-class package of residential amenities, while the mixed-use development will include fine dining and an artisan bakery. In addition, the beachside development will provide direct access to one of the world’s most famous beaches.

Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman said ‘Aston Martin’s residential projects give our design team a unique opportunity to go above and beyond. Our worldclass experience with crafted materials and surfaces, high quality detail design, and dynamic, expressive forms finds a natural expression in architectural design. Every Aston Martin car is an expression of beauty, a quality that requires mastery of balance and proportion. All Aston Martin properties share this obsessive approach, providing the perfect canvas for us to express our skills.

‘Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores will allow us to take our holistic design approach to another level, with scope for the unprecedented integration of bespoke design elements, highly customisable spaces, cutting edge amenities, and a strong symbiosis with Aston Martin’s world renowned design language. Architecture and interiors are where Aston Martin’s experience and expertise in craft, performance and beauty can be expressed to the full.’

Valor Real Estate Development brings more than four decades of experience to the partnership. To date, the team has collectively developed over a billion dollars of real estate, with a renewed focus on high-end and luxury residential design in Florida. As part of this groundbreaking multi-project partnership additional landmark sites are already under review in Mexico City and Tampa Bay, Florida.

VP Valor Real Estate Development and Grupo Bosque Real, Loen Salame said; ‘For over four decades, our commitment has been to redefine living in urban locations. North American expansion remains a critical focus of our multi-project partnership, and we are excited to be exploring opportunities with Aston Martin for further landmark developments in Mexico City and Tampa Bay’.

Aston Martin Residences Daytona Beach Shores is scheduled to be completed by 2029.

For ten years, the collaboration between Apple and Hermès has been based on a shared ambition of combining beauty and functionality into objects that enrich people’s lives. Established in 2015, the Apple-Hermès partnership is the meeting of two cultures united by a common quest for excellence and authenticity to respond to the needs of people who seek beauty in design, cutting-edge technology, high-quality materials and exceptional know-how. This season, Apple and Hermès have drawn the contours of new models, bringing together imagination and precision. From the watch face to the strap, drawing is everywhere, tracing a timeless allure.

Scub’H Diving: Dynamic style

The Apple Watch Hermès Ultra has acquired a new rubber strap with sporty lines. Fitted with a titanium

Faubourg Party: Drawing having fun

The Apple Watch Hermès is set to party time, with the Faubourg Party design adorning its watch face and strap. Stitch by stitch, the pixel designs by Tibor Kárpáti knit the iconic façade of the 24 Faubourg store. As you stroll between the window displays, roof terraces and gardens, you might just see a horse on a bicycle or, maybe, a lad holding an apple? On the screen, 24 stories come to life according to the time, the weather or the date.

Animaux Bandana: A scarf on the wrist Horses, toucans, monkeys, parrots and sloths have escaped from Shinsuke Kawahara’s eponymous silk scarf and have been screen-printed onto the straps of this Apple Watch Hermès. In leather and an array of colours, the strap brings the spirit of the bandana to the wrist.

THE LUXURY NETWORK EVENING OF PANACHE & SOPHISTICATION WITH TROPICANA

Amidst the sunny shores of Sentosa Island, within the distinguished surroundings of ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, Singapore, The Luxury Network recently partnered with Malaysia’s renowned community master planner and developer, Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”) for an evening of refined indulgence.

This private affair, hosted by Tropicana, was a celebration of sophistication and bespoke living featuring Skypark Kepler, the first and only branded high rise residences in Johor. The gathering brought together nearly 70 elite atendees—business owners, investors, highnet-worth individuals as well as top executives from private equity and venture capital firms—each united by their appreciation for luxurious living within a sustainable township. With Sentosa’s glitering waterfront as its stage, the event placed a spotlight on Tropicana’s latest jewel in the south, Lido Waterfront Boulevard (“LIDO”).

LIDO, the 163-acre freehold waterfront township featuring the stylish Skypark Kepler in partnership with the renowned Banyan Group. Together this branded development will provide transformative experiences for its

property purchasers where they can enjoy smart-city living coupled with a luxurious lifestyle within a sustainable environment.

Tailoring a charming evening for the invited guests, a showcase that promised exclusive real estate was offered as an immersion into the lifestyle that accompanies it. As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests mingled in an informal networking session, framed by the breathtaking views of Sentosa’s marina. The casual elegance of this prelude created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing diverse personalities to connect, exchange perspectives, and ignite new possibilities.

Dinner followed, which proved to be a gastronomic journey of refined flavours. Beginning with Buri dressed in lemon, chives, and shallots, followed by a creative indulgence of waffle with Gruyère and cream cheese. The delicate Botan Ebi, prepared escabeche-style and crowned with caviar, set the tone for the opulence that followed. Guests were then treated to a rich Boston Lobster soup, paired with sake beurre blanc, miso caramel, and fresh herbs.

For the main course, diners chose between two exquisite plates: a Red Grouper accompanied by pet pois, lemon confit squid, and mussels; or a perfectly seared Wagyu flaron complemented by truffle jus, wasabi, garlic purée, and crisp mixed greens. To close, an artistic creation of Opaline Chocolate with persimmons, dates, and a delicate Korean pancake brought the culinary journey to a memorable finale.

Amid this refined dining experience, the spotlight turned to Ms Ixora Ang, Tropicana’s Managing Director of Sales & Marketing and Business Development. With elegance and eloquence, she unveiled the intricacies of Skypark Kepler @ Lido Waterfront Boulevard. Her presentation highlighted the development’s innovave design set within a sustainable 163-acre master plan.

Ixora further underscored the project’s appeal by emphasising the strategic advantage of Johor Bahru’s growing infrastructure, notably the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (“RTS”), which promises enhanced connectivity.

She outlined how Skypark Kepler is a cut above, where the property will be managed by a global Top-4 International Hotel by Banyan Group. Discerning homeowners will also enjoy global benefits from the Banyan Group, including the Banyan Living rental programme and the Banyan Sanctuary Club programme, as well as a host of other benefits from Tropicana T Privilege loyalty programme to T360 app rewards and services.

What sets Skypark Kepler apart is that this freehold development offers many unique selling points such as freehold international zoning, close proximity to the RTS staon (less than 5km & approximately 7 to 10-minute drive), fully-furnished or semi-furnished layouts with an unobstructed waterfront view, 2.5km coastal boardwalk doted with alfresco dining, 32-acre green park featuring a cultural centre for community gatherings, green-certified building,

and multi-tiered security. Each unit will be fited out with luxury fittings and appliances such as Samsung home appliances, Kohler fittings and sanitary wares.

Guests were also informed of market-relevant factors, including legal nuances concerning ownership structures and ongoing developments in the Johor-Singapore corridor, Adding a further layer of exclusivity, Tropicana unveiled a bespoke incentive to purchasers who confirmed booking within a certain timeframe would be rewarded with a Banyan Retreat Experience—a four-day, three-night escape at Banyan Tree Phuket, inclusive of business-class flights.

The presentation, enriched by evocative videos and stunning visuals, transported guests into the world of Tropicana. It was not simply an introduction to a property—it was an invitation to step into a future of elevated living, where contemporary design meets harmony with nature.

The evening stood as a milestone not only for Tropicana but for Malaysia’s luxury real estate landscape. By partnering with The Luxury Network, Tropicana demonstrated the power of curated exclusivity—uniting heritage, innovation, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence. Against the glitering backdrop of ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, this gathering transcended the ordinary, embodying the very essence of luxury: timeless, aspirational, and deeply experiential.
