Mukul Beach, Golf & Spa

September 15, 2015 in Abode, Luxury

‘Nicaragua’ and ‘luxury’ are words rarely uttered in the same sentence, but billionaire Carlos Pellas has resolved to change that with his newest business venture, Mukul Beach, Golf & Spa. 

Sprawling along Nicaragua’s dramatic Pacific coast, the boutique resort’s 37 villas and bohios (traditional thatched huts) overlook picturesque Manzanillo Beach, where two-metre swells provide some of the best surf in Central America. 

Each bohio has a private plunge pool, twin showers and panoramic floor-to- ceiling windows, replete with furnishings made by local artisans. Ocean-facing decks made from native wood cry out for you to spend an evening under the stars with a glass of Pellas’ Flor de Caña rum. 

Mukul caters to every whim: there’s an 18-hole golf course designed by David McLay Kidd and activities ranging from big-game fishing to beach yoga. Finally, join Central America’s business and political elite at La Mesa restaurant and reflect on being among the first to savour luxury living in a country waiting to be discovered.

Istanbul’s love affair with art is apparent in the lobby of Raffles Istanbul, where an abstract composite of Dolmabahce Palace by French photo-artist Jean-Francois Rauzier, and a giant bronze figure by American sculptor Martin Dawe welcome visitors.

Last time I was in #Istanbul, I ran across the Bosphorus Bridge during the opening leg of the Eurasia Marathon 2012. This time, I’m happy to gaze at it from the comfort of Raffles Istanbul, which overlooks the bridge and the Asian side of the city across the water.
