SKORPYO LUXURY CLUB

Situated on Naka Yai Island off the northeastern side of Phuket, this spanking new Luxury Collection Resort & Spa property is only 25 minutes from Phuket airport (including a 5-minute private speedboat ride) and yet feels worlds away.
Formerly a favourite haunt of sea gypsies and local fishermen, guests can now enjoy what the Thais have kept a secret for so long – breathtaking views of Phang Nga Bay (where James Bond Island is), an idyllic natural environment and ultimate solitude. Rustic, however, The Naka Island is not.
Arrive in style at this stylish 67-villa resort in a BMW 7 Series saloon and expect to be floored with the refinement and luxury inside its huge 450-square-metre villas: large plunge pools, sala pavilions, open-air bathrooms, high-tech entertainment systems and a comprehensive music library.
It’s not just the setting that will inspire inner peace in you, but also the immaculately kept grounds, the calm and crystal-clear waters off its sandy beaches, Spa Naka’s array of herbal treatments, and the soothing amblence of the Bai Cha Chinese Tea Room.
A nice touch is the bicycles provided for guests to ride around on.

Bonefish Cay is set in one of the most beautiful areas of The Bahamas, the Middle Bight of Andros. Imagine a sea of turquoise waters as far as the eye can see. Views of small islands sprinkled on the horizon, faint lights of Mangrove Cay in the evening and a cool ocean breeze coupled with complete privacy provides the setting of Bonefish Cay!

The name Bonefish Cay says it all - miles of Bonefishing waters and you can even fish off the island!

The island was developed with a cottage and in 1934 the owner at the time created pathways around the island that still exist today. There was also a landscaped area around the home but this is now overgrown.

The concrete pad for the cottage is still in place and is perfect for the construction of a vacation getaway home. The island also has two active wells and a third that is not in use at this time.

The natural features of the island include 10 ft. elevations, three small beaches, traditional island vegetation and the remnants of an old stone dock. Water depths of about three ft. for many miles around are ideal for speed boat access.
Bonefish Cay is a One-of-a-kind Island that is becoming harder and harder to find available for sale in The Bahamas.

Don't miss this private island opportunity!

Now you can have it all: Lifestyle, luxury, location and limited tax liability. Without doubt Castillo Caribe is one of the finest beachfront estate homes in the world offering every luxury for modern day life with all the lifestyle options one would expect from the Cayman Islands. Although the Cayman Islands enjoy year round sunshine and a temperate climate, this benefit is eclipsed in most people’s eyes by the Islands’ offshore status.
The Cayman Islands are well known as a financial centre on the world's stage and provide the highest quality of lifestyle available in a tax neutral environment, making it very appealing to people of high net worth to seek residency here - a position which is actively encouraged by the local government and, as a British Overseas Territory, is a very stable option.
There are a number of destinations in the world that are able to offer offshore status to a greater or lesser degree but the Cayman Islands have no local taxes whatsoever: no property tax, no income tax, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax.
Castillo Caribe offers a rare opportunity to combine this with privacy, security, luxury and lifestyle all on a pristine white sandy beach overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea.

LOM Group has just established a new private jet facillity at L.F. Wade Bermuda International Airport. The release of this new and useful port for private aircraft was announced on Tuesday July 5, 2011.
The facility will be based in a cottage-like building right across the tarmac from the commercial airliners.
The building will contain a resting quarters for aircraft crew members, new flooring, new computers, and new printing capabilities. Artwork for the waiting quarters will be provided by the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.
“We wanted to enhance the welcome and departure experience of both locals going abroad as well as leisure and business travelers that bring business to Bermuda,” Sales Manager at LOM, Michael Greaves said.
More than 2,000 private jets fly in to Bermuda every year. Bermuda wants to make flying privately as comfortable as possible to locals and visitors of Bermuda. Such facilities in Bermuda will stimulate Bermuda’s economy for sure, since Bermuda’s largest profit comes from tourists. Rich tourists. If more people are flying into Bermuda as a result of this, then they’ll most likely be seeing a turn of economic bounty. Whether or not private jet fliers are taking the bate, this is getting me to start feeling like a trip to Bermuda is in order. Anyone want to join me?
