A slate of residences are debuting from Bali to outside Bangkok to the Middle East
There are a number of enchanting new communities across Asia with sales debuting this fall and winter.
Luxury projects are hitting the market from bustling metropolises including Bangkok and Singapore to island getaways in Bali, and Middle Eastern opulence in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The theme, of course, is that bigger and bolder is better. Yet, sustainability shines through at every stop as well, along with a connection to the environment. Several of these luxury developments are branded hotel residences from the most recognizable and highly regarded brands in the travel space. Others come backed by some of the most well known and successful developers on the continent.

Within each villa, sliding louvers allow for air circulation and the flexibility to create unique spaces by altering the home's layout for a given need or interest, whether it's time for socializing or privacy. Raised living quarters improve ventilation and offer superior views, while shaded courtyards and private infinity pools are sure to please when it comes time to personal relaxation.
