Dreams of paradise come true beachfrontstyle in the Caribbean colors of the Bahamas, the exotic hues of Puerto Vallarta,

REFLECTIONS FROM THE PUBLISHERS
Dream!
It’s the thing to do. Dream, and it might come true! Island dreams,
city dreamworlds, beachfront dream castles, and just plain castles. In
this issue, we’ve made dreaming so easy to do. For starters, just sit
back, relax, and take a moment to imagine yourself in our cover scene,
face-to-face with the splendor of the Swiss and French Alps from your
own private castle penthouse atop Mont-Pèlerin. Are you dreaming yet?
City dreamworlds, such as the electrifying Manhattan showpiece
orchestrated by Charles Gwathmey, create energy of another sort,
quickening the pulse in exciting dreams of vivid high-voltage drama.
And who hasn’t dreamed of a beachfront dream castle? Those
dreams spring to life in the white-sand
kingdoms we uncovered in the Bahamas
and Fiji’s Wadigi Island and the magical
Xanadus of Mexico, Maui, and Kauai.
From the country calm of the
Hamptons and the sizzle of Palm Beach
and Naples to the hominess of Santa Fe
and the alpine majesty of Tahoe and
our favorite dream place Mont-Pèlerin,
every page in the issue was inspired by
a dream and inspires a dream. And
these dreams really aren’t as far away as
they seem —so dream, dream, dream!

Charles Gwathmey’s vision was to create the most sophisticated, stunning,
and elegant apartment in New York City.
When he waved his magic wand to
fashion the extraordinary one-and-only
duplex at Beacon Court, he outdid even
himself. The gossamer private world of
dazzling glass floats above Manhattan
like a celestial jewel befitting its exalted
setting. Being offered for the first time
ever, the wondrous world presents a
unique ultramodern architectural treasure masterminded not only to be admired but to be lived in and enjoyed as
well. Its stainless steel door opens onto
a magnificent white paved stone floor
where your eyes are drawn to a steel
staircase with leather railing. What follows takes your breath away: a sweeping double-height expanse orchestrated
with white Venetian plaster walls and
maple floors showcases spectacular north
and west views of Manhattan from two
walls of towering windows. Attending
on this level are a high-tech chef’s kitchen
adorned in honed black granite, a
media entertainment lounge, home
office, and two staff rooms. The upper
level continues the high drama to three
view-filled bedrooms with ensuite baths,
a den, and the master suite—one of the
highlights of the entire duplex with its
pristine office, sitting room, and two
baths with white statuary marble
walls and sinks and black absolute
granite floors—a heavenly haven that
strikingly epitomizes the grand and glorious scope and detail of Gwathmey’s
vision. $115,000,000 Furnished.

real—it instantly captures the
hearts of all those privileged to
come. The two-acre tropical idyll
of volcanic rock, a quick tenminute flight by helicopter from
Nadi International Airport, rises
majestically 122 feet above the
Pacific Ocean, its sensuous shoreline lapped by pristine beaches
and crystalline waters that bask
surrounded by three colorful
coral reefs. A Xanadu created to
be both self-sufficient and environmentally pure—even pests
common to other islands are unknown on Wadigi—its creature
comforts are endless. The stunning glass-walled villa sequesters three separate suites to
welcome fortunate guests: the
Sunrise Suite, Sunset Suite, and
Honeymoon Suite, each ingeniously interweaving high-tech
marvels and low-key luxury.
Guests have their own bar and
restaurant, their own private
beaches, their own private boat
and boat captain, even their own
personal hostess and housekeeper who understand the importance of privacy. No wonder
Wadigi Island has become a
firmly established brand name
known throughout the world for
its unique setting, array of
amenities, and unforgettable
memories. It’s pure magic!

HAWAIIAN XANADU
What world-renowned design firm Hendrix Allardyce created for seven evocative hillside acres surrounded by the sea on the magical island of Kauai is a feast for the
senses. Clad with redwood, and with interiors adorned with travertine floors, lacquered
walls, and antique furnishings, the open-air pavilion—formed from a trio of pods and
lanais that link to entertain, relax, or host dinner parties—centers on a courtyard
where koi splash in fountained waters filled with water lilies and anthurium. Separate
from the main house are an office with amazing coastline views and a two-story
Garden House overlooking grounds laden with avocado, lychee, mango, citrus, banana,
and palms—a fitting tribute to the Garden Isle. $4,485,000 Furnished. Ron de Salvo
(Coldwell Banker Previews International). Tel: 310.777.6233. [email protected].
