The word ‘luxury’ is used a lot these days to describe real estate and cars, yet there are occasions when the level of luxury is in question. If you are planning to view a few homes that are advertised as luxury accommodation, here are a few features that should be present.
Marble Flooring
Imported Italian marble is a popular flooring that is in the Royal Westmoreland by Residence Barbados luxury bracket and many properties are exclusive to premier stone solutions. Bathrooms and kitchens are rooms where marble and granite are used and this timeless elegance ticks all the boxes, even though it is very expensive. The best marble will last a lifetime and is very easy to keep clean, with stunning finishes that include gold veins and swirls. While the finest stone might be expensive, it will last several lifetimes and skilled stone masons can create stunning table tops and work areas, which is maintenance-free.
Water Features
You are only limited by your imagination; indoor and outdoor water walls are amazing, with coloured LED backdrops for the evenings. Let’s not forget the traditional water fountain at the front of the property, found mostly at large secluded mansions. If you are planning to view some high end detached properties, you can expect to see a few water features, which do add a soothing ambience. You can even have indoor water walls that you can turn on and off as easy as a light.
Hot Tub
There will be at least one hot tub, close to the sauna, with all the options you can think of and where better to enjoy that afternoon cocktail? If you have recently purchased a luxury apartment and would like to install a Jacuzzi or hot tub, a Google search will help you find an approved supplier. Brad Pitt was reported to have 4 hot tubs in his Hollywood home and most celebs have at least one, as these are always nice for parties.
Swimming Pool
We doubt there is a luxury property without a swimming pool, indeed many have an indoor pool, as well as the traditional outdoor pool. If you are looking at luxury apartments such as those new developments for sale Costa del Sol boasts about, check out trusted real estate websites. You will surely find all of the luxury apartment developments in a premier location have at least one pool, along with fitness room and sauna.
Underground Living Space
If you have money to spare and you can’t build up or out, why not have a couple of floors added underground? Swimming pools, garages and even home theatres are to be found below the ground. It is a complicated and expensive process to excavate without impacting the structural integrity of the building. If you have the money, why not?
The extremely high cost of luxury homes makes potential buyers look into destinations such as Italy, Spain and Portugal, where luxury property is much cheaper. Many people work from home and much prefer to live in a sunny climate, such as southern Spain or the Portuguese Algarve, where the sun always shines.
