Ras Al Khaimah offers the best of both worlds— tranquil beauty and an exciting

ubai, long the darling of the United Arab Emirates for its resorts, superlative shopping, and glamorous restaurants, may need to keep a sharp eye on the upstart that’s snapping at its heels. While the UAE’s northernmost emirate of Ras Al Khaimah may not yet be as famous as its neighbor to the south, great opportunities exist here. RAK, as it’s commonly known, has had a reputation for being a sleepy place, a weekend destination for UAE residents looking for a slower pace of life and less elevated accommodation. But Ras Al Khaimah is waking from its slumber, and it has ambitious plans. International visitors are starting to get wise to the emirate’s charms, too. The first half of 2023 saw an impressive 14.8 percent jump in arrivals, with new daily flights direct from Doha on Qatar Airways. Additional routes are slated to launch in 2024. Big brand luxury hoteliers are rushing to make their mark on RAK’s coastline. The emirate is already home to luxury resorts by Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, and InterContinental, and a new Anantara is bringing Maldives-style overwater villas to the neighborhood. According to Raki Phillips, CEO of the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), more than 20 new hotel projects are in the pipeline, bringing an additional 7,183 keys to the emirate by 2027—an 80 percent growth. But goals in Ras Al Khaimah go much further than opening hotels, and Phillips is keen to ensure that development doesn’t come at the cost of the natural environment. It’s about expanding responsibly, he says. “As the licensing authority for all new hotel developments, RAKTDA is also able to set guidelines and protocols to regulate sustainability standards and work closely with hotels to ensure sustainable practices.” The emirate is also keen to go beyond tourism. While the trickle-down effect of increased leisure options, restaurants, and retail resulting from the new hotels will likely have a positive impact on residents’ quality of life, the additional development of infrastructure, along with improved health and transport facilities, make the emirate a serious contender for those looking for a long-term home.

PROPERTIES TO FEATURE

Outdoor kitchens

Many features are planned with a related property spotlight—an in-depth feature on a specific property. There are also smaller, grouped property listings in the editorial section related to specific features.

Prepping a meal alfresco, with your garden as a backdrop, brings a whole new meaning to plant-based cooking. We celebrate the joy of outdoor kitchens FOOD for THOUGHT Words: Fiona McCarthy

iewers of last year’s Netflix documentary on former British footballer David Beckham may have a lasting memory of his safari-tent- style outdoor kitchen. Dreamed up

furniture, and customized grills is a relatively recent phenomenon. The National Kitchen & Bath Association in the U.S. concluded in its first-ever Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Report last year that outdoor kitchens were not only increasingly prevalent on every homeowner’s wish list, but the desire for one was also being driven by the trend for wellness as it gives people the opportunity to connect with nature through their outdoor spaces. “There’s something incredibly satisfying about incorporating the outdoors into our daily tasks,” says Houston-based interior designer Marie Flanigan. “We approach these spaces as we would any interior room, starting with an understanding of how the space needs to function, and then working on the layout before choosing hard finishes like surface slabs, flooring, backsplashes, and cabinetry that will withstand the location’s climate—paramount to lasting functionality.” Caroline Burvill of British outdoor kitchen and furniture specialists Gaze Burvill agrees. “We are big believers in encouraging our customers to F

Ritchie’s canvas and hardwood tented kitchen celebrates year-round cooking in the great outdoors with family and friends—if a storm whips up, the fully-retractable roof can drop down quickly to keep everyone protected from the elements. Beckham is not alone in loving cooking outside. Outdoor kitchens are fast becoming big business, in part spurred on by the pandemic when people were stuck at home, but also by the value an outdoor kitchen brings to a property in terms of an adding another ‘room’ to its footprint.

Words: Rachel Loos

Property spotlight: equestrian estates

Fusing Mediterranean style with country chic, materials have been carefully chosen to instill an air of quiet luxury. Custom chandeliers made of curling wrought iron hang from high ceilings, and parquet floors are complemented by Loro Piana fabric-lined walls. Prestige artworks—Kohl is an art lover and collector—hang on the walls. Horses are never far away—a large window gives a view to the indoor arena while one of the two terraces looks out onto the outside arena. The estate’s pièce de résistance is arguably the stables, which have their own vehicular entrance allowing for easy transport. Spacious stalls for a total of 38 horses (plus three quarantine boxes) are housed in three light and airy wings—insulated for a comfortable temperature and lower energy use—connected by a central hall with a wet room and grooming areas. As well as being able to see each other, the animals can look outside too, as every stable has an outer window. Well-being is key here, and spacious wellness and rehabilitation facilities include a solarium, an aquatrainer, a spa, and an infrared cabin with an inhalation device. In the two-story tack room, finely crafted woodwork including cabinetry for storage is teamed with more fabric-lined walls—this time in Ralph Lauren—transforming what is often purely a functional area into a stunning statement space. Connected to the stables is an international competition-size indoor arena with a striking vaulted ceiling that floods the space with light; it is also large enough to accommodate stands for up to 800 people. The arena features one fully mirrored side and the floor is laid with high- quality waxed sand that is gentle on horses’ joints. Outside, another competition-size arena has an ebb-and-flow system to ensure it is both dust-free and well drained, again to ensure that the surface is not jarring. It is supported by several training arenas including a lunging circle and an all-season racetrack of almost three miles (4.8 km). The estate also boasts eight all-season paddocks and 32 fields, allowing horses to spend time outside all through the year. For breeding, there is an E.U.- certified insemination station. “While Gestüt Peterhof specializes in dressage, it can easily be adapted to the specific needs of showjumping and even polo,” says Ghosh. “Planning permission has been granted to double the number of stables and to build a spacious showjumping arena.” For humans, there is accommodation in high- spec villas. On one side of the courtyard is the main residence, a 4,000-square-foot (372 sq m) home that has two en suite bedrooms with dressing rooms, an open-plan living and dining room, and three balconies which, between them, catch the

sun all day. As in the Casino, the elegant decor encompasses parquet floors and fabric-lined walls. The stud manager’s residence is next door, which also has an open-plan living and dining room plus three en suite bedrooms. It can be connected to the main house to create one much larger home. Opposite are three guesthouses and, combined, the arrangement of the villas resembles a village piazza, adding to the charming ambience. Despite its wonderful sense of escape, Gestüt Peterhof is well connected, with multiple railway stations and three airports—one of which can transport horses—within an hour’s drive. “You won’t find 74 acres in Germany that are also close to autobahns and the airport,” says Kohl. “This kind of estate would not be given planning permission today, which is one reason why Gestüt Peterhof is unique. But it’s also because of the place itself. As soon as you arrive, you can feel its special atmosphere. There is nowhere else like it.” b

A n aerial view of Gestüt Peterhof showcases the perfect symmetry of its design, from the beautifully proportioned buildings to the neatly fenced paddocks that surround them. The layout is just one example of the attention to detail that has gone into the creation of this remarkable equestrian estate in Germany. On the slopes of the upper Moselle River, the 74-acre (30 ha) property features riding, training, and stud facilities, along with splendid entertaining areas and accommodation for its human residents. Rather than being added to over time, Gestüt Peterhof was planned and built as one, so its handsome looks are matched by a practicality that allows the estate’s many different areas to work seamlessly together. “It is one of the largest and most beautiful equestrian estates in the world, and a home of champions,” says Monique Ghosh of Christie’s International Real Estate. “If you think in terms of tennis, it’s like buying Wimbledon. Such exclusive estates as this almost never come up for sale, so this is a chance to acquire a rare gem.” Gestüt Peterhof was created in 2011 by the successful dressage rider Arlette Jasper-Kohl, along with her husband Professor Edwin Kohl, an

entrepreneur within the pharmaceutical industry. As well as being an equine enthusiast, Jasper-Kohl is also an interior designer, and she brought her extensive knowledge of both horse and human to the drawing board when designing the estate. “My wife grew up with horses, they are her passion,” explains Professor Kohl. “We wanted to create stables with exceptional equestrian facilities and functionality to ensure that the horses are safe and well, but also a place that was in itself beautiful.” In that they have succeeded. A manicured drive opens out onto a Mediterranean-style courtyard where the sound of running water, from an elegant stone fountain, promotes a peaceful atmosphere. This mood is further enhanced by hundreds of trees, ornate topiary, and flower-lined pathways, all of which complement the stone façades and soothing colors of the architecture. At the head of the courtyard is a two-story building called the Casino, which at just over 6,000 square feet (557 sq m) is the heart of the compound’s entertaining offering. Inside, a graceful flight of stairs leads into a series of stylish rooms including two fireside lounges and a spacious restaurant-style dining room, which is served by two fully equipped kitchens.

Caves Valley beauty Owings Mills, Maryland

Designed with seamless indoor–outdoor living in mind, this handsome, custom-designed residence is nestled on 2.4 acres (1 ha) of lush, landscaped grounds. A canopy of mature trees provides shade and privacy, and the gentle water trickling into a peaceful fish pond provides a soothing soundtrack to afternoons spent enjoying the sunshine. For more sociable days, entertaining is a dream thanks to sweeping patios and a screened-in porch with a cooking center, ideal for alfresco gatherings. Caves is an exclusive, gated community surrounding a world class PGA golf course, and vistas of the Caves Valley landscape are glimpsed from a roof terrace accessed via one of the home’s four bedrooms. Inside, introduced by a dramatic marble foyer, the property is every bit as charming. Both work and play are fully considered, thanks to a stunning mahogany library with a fireplace and a generous home office, as well as an opulent billiards room with its own wet bar and powder room, a games room, a driving range/putting green, and an exercise room, making this one of Baltimore County’s finest houses. $4,195,000 Hubble Bisbee Christie’s International Real Estate, hubblebisbee.com, Karen Hubble Bisbee, karen@hubblebisbee.com, +1 410 321 1411

Mature trees fill the garden at this gracious country villa, uniting the indoor and outdoor living spaces and promoting a sense of tranquility and well-being. This green oasis is easy to run thanks to three computerized irrigation systems, which automatically water the home’s lawn and plants, while the orchid greenhouse produces elegant blooms from September to January. A picturesque lake, stream, and pond filled with koi provide wonderful spots for quiet contemplation. Sprawling over five picturesque acres (2 ha), the farm estate fulfills the dream of rural living— the formal outdoor space is enveloped by an established and productive olive grove, with 150 20-year-old trees to the south and a gorgeous, thriving Merlot vineyard to the north, which currently produces 4,000 bottles of world-class wine per year. Contemporary and classical architecture combine in the eight-bedroom main house, and the exquisite living spaces boast generous windows to take in the magnificent mountain views that stretch beyond the residence’s boundaries.
