Are you tired of the same old bachelorette party? We are too! While going out in Las Vegas and partying in Nashville are both great ideas. Both options seem to be the go-to bachelorette party. You want your bestie’s last weekend as a single woman to be unforgettable. Keep reading if you want to plan a luxurious bachelorette party!

 

1.) Charter a Luxurious Yacht

Want to bond during a bachelorette party?  Say goodbye to the crowded bars and hello to the wide-open sea. You can charter a yacht for your bride’s last sail before the veil. While aboard you will receive more than a tan. You will receive the best in the industry service, drinks, and water toys. The ocean as your backdrop makes for amazing pictures that will make all your friends jealous. For the most luxurious and unforgettable bachelorette party, renting a yacht in Miami is the way to go.

2.) Go Glamping  Instead of Camping

While pitching a tent and living in the great outdoors for the weekend may sound great to some, it is not for everyone. If you want a more luxurious version of camping, then cushy glamping is for your bride tribe. Enjoy relaxing in the great outdoors, but of course with a comfy cozy tent that may even come with some air conditioning. Nature provides beautiful natural lighting so you can take Instagram worthy pictures of you hiking, fishing, swimming, and sitting around the campfire.

3.)  Relax During a Spa Weekend

Some brides enjoy spending their bachelorette parties to be just that a party! But, some brides to be want to relax and have a low-key weekend with their besties. If this sounds like your bride, then a spa weekend is what you are looking for. During your spa weekend, you not only get to relax, but you also get facials, mud baths, and massages. After your bachelorette spa weekend, you and the rest of the gang will feel wedding-ready.

4.)  Have a Girls Sleepover

Do you remember the good old days, when you spent the night at your friend’s house every weekend? Instead of jet setting off somewhere, you can book a luxury hotel room and have a girls sleepover. During your old school sleepover, you can do facials, watch movies, have a pillow fight, and enjoy unlimited room service.

5.)  Go-Wine Tasting

Skip the overcrowded club and take your tribe wine tasting. Rent a limo or party bus to take you around to different wineries and end with dinner. If you want to take your shoes off and get dirty, give stomping grapes a try. From Napa Valley to New York, your options are endless for wineries.

 

While all these bachelorette party ideas are luxurious and unforgettable, we can only help you plan one. That is aboard one of our beautiful yachts. We do all the planning, so you and your tribe can have a relaxing weekend. Contact us today to start booking!

The Private Jet that Flies Itself https://www.primeluxuryrentals.com/the-private-jet-that-flies-itself/ Sat, 27 Apr 2019 20:04:00 +0000 http://www.primeluxuryrentals.com/?p=10722 The Vision Jet SF50 from Cirrus Aircraft is a private jet which was created for virtually anyone who can confidently fly an aircraft.  The SF50 contains just one turbofan motor...

The Vision Jet SF50 from Cirrus Aircraft is a private jet which was created for virtually anyone who can confidently fly an aircraft.  The SF50 contains just one turbofan motor as opposed to the two or 3 which can usually be seen on most civil jets. It also offers ample electronic help for the pilot, and a whole-plane parachute just in case of disaster.

The SF50 has a one-hop range of about 1,000 nautical miles—a similar range to that of other planes of this caliber. However, this particular air craft has a cruise speed of 50 percent more than comparable planes. This makes the SF50 the perfect plane for pilots who are in need of a plane when they move up from piston-powered aircraft to a more comfortable, faster plane which can carry more passengers. This easy-to- handle and ultimately flyable plane will not intimidate those who are new to flying, nor is it anything to look down on by the ultra-luxurious private jets which are made for entire trips around the world.

Right now the luxury home market in the Hamptons is being dominated by $5 million luxury homes. In the second quarter alone, typically the season of high activity in the Hampton area, 49 luxury homes priced at over $5 million have been sold. These sales defy the trends of what is currently a subdued luxury housing market.

The sales of these luxury homes have pulled up the prices of other luxury homes which would not usually be priced at over $5 million bringing the median price of luxury Hamptons homes up 2% to $6.3 million. Major sales from this quarter included a $40 million mansion and a $17 million newly built home in Bridgehampton.

While luxury homes above $5 million are seeing a rise in sales, the opposite is happening for luxury homes priced between $1 million and $5 million.  In the cases of these homes, sales are declining and inventory is rising. The top 10% of homes in the Hamptons has jumped by more than a third due to this surplus of homes in the $1-5 million ranges. Overall, home sales in the Hamptons has dropped 13% from last year with a recorded 601 sales in the second quarter.

When it comes to convenience, travel time, and comfort, there is no comparison between a private jet and commercial airlines. Private jets allow owners to set their own schedule in terms of travel and avoid weather delays which would set back larger jets. The only factor which large commercial airlines have over private jets is price. However, new companies are here to make it easier for anyone who is used to flying first class gain access to the perks of private jets.

Companies such as JetSuite, PrivateFly, and Jumpjet are there to bring down the costs of flying privately by putting discount deals in place as well as jet sharing and jet rental programs. Flyers who are worried about the cost of flying privately and have to consider their needs in the process have the most to gain from these private jet companies.

Sometimes the cost per head (for larger groups of flyers from one company) is lower with a private jet than first class or even business class would be on a commercial flight. The amount of baggage needed to be transported on a flight can also be a huge factor to consider when choosing the best option. Commercial jets usually only allow up to two bags per passenger, where on a private jet the amount of cargo is negotiable.

The Italian ship yard, Cantieri Navali Chioggia, unveiled the newest Ocean King model in its Classic series during 2018. The ship was developed in conjunction with VYD Studio, and though the yacht has a small footprint, it still gives the feel of a luxury superyacht. The ship’s exterior design is from the mind of Arch Paolo Dose, architecture design by Studio Innave, and the interior construction was designed by Garlant Marco—a true testament to the eminent luxury of the Ocean King.

The new Ocean King was mainly designed to provide ample space in its interior, but that does not mean they held back on the exterior square footage. This ship features four exterior decks. Additionally the Ocean King features a large stern garage which also has access to the engine room. The garage can be used for multiple purposes including a diving center, water toy room, fishing storage room, or a small beach club. Guest accommodations span over five staterooms including a master stateroom situated on the main deck. Additional crew accommodations can fit a crew of four on the lower deck as well as the captain’s cabin behind the wheelhouse.

The entire design of the ship has included exactly what customers have asked for and delivered on all promises

California no longer reigns as the hottest real estate market in the United States. Buyers are now looking to smaller, more affordable metro areas. As of December 2018, no California markets took up residence in the top five hottest markets. The Midwest and South are now the most sought after areas in the US. Due to this new trend, Midland, Texas now occupies the top spot on the list of areas in highest demand.

These trendy areas are seeing more demand partially due to Amazon’s consideration for a new business campus. The campus is expected to bring 50,000 new high-paying jobs to whichever area it chooses. On the short list of the cities Amazon is considering for their campus is Columbus, Boston, and Dallas. All of these cities are among the top trending cities in the United States.

While California is no longer at the top of the list of hottest real estate markets, it has not lost its heat. The San Francisco area still ranks at number six on the list of hottest markets.  But buyers are no longer interested in California’s high luxury prices and are looking to the lower prices of the South and Midwest.

The factors which go into luxury home buying do not equate to mere price point. Proximity to popular areas, businesses, and even family all factor in when considering luxury property. Thankfully, luxury areas reach far and wide, so you do not have to compromise your interests when looking for a luxury home to buy. Here are five luxury markets in North America to keep an eye out for when considering an investment in luxury property.

Southeast Coastal Communities. In these areas, people are deciding to turn their vacation homes into full time residencies. Areas like Golden Isles in Georgia or Hilton Head Island in South Carolina are in higher demand than ever.

Bozeman, Montana. This luxury market has long been drawing the likes of outdoor enthusiasts and tech startups. With so many tech companies in the area, jobs are pouring in, and the outdoor life is just an added bonus. People are coming to the area for the jobs and staying for the nature.

Brooklyn, New York. Brooklyn offers something that other areas of New York cannot compete with: outdoor space. That in addition to subway access, fine eateries, and the sense of community make Brooklyn the place to be when it comes to New York neighborhoods.

Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Portsmouth has a lot to brag about including some of the country’s best food scenes, beautiful towns, and some of the best places to visit in the North East United States. It has also been ranked by National Geographic as “U.S.A.’s Greatest Small Town.”

While hovercrafts are still a thing of the future for the most part, there is an option out there which can get you to point A to point B with speed, style, and luxury. Helicopters are becoming increasingly popular as a mode of luxury transportation not only for their ability to transport passengers great distances in a fraction of the time it takes a plane, but also because they are the perfect statement piece to complement a luxury lifestyle.

In large cities such as Sao Paulo, Brazil, helicopter commuting is very much a reality among the ultra-wealthy. Sao Paulo has even implemented an on-demand luxury helicopter service for its most high-class residents. The SureFly is one type of helicopter in production which is made specifically to be an “air taxi.” It can transport two people for up to one hour on one tank of gas and is the luxury choice when it comes to transportation. Its controls are simple to use and limited to only a few buttons and a joystick. Though the SureFly is officially being developed with medical first responders and agricultural uses in mind, one cannot help but think what an easy-to-operate machine like this can do for the luxury transportation industry.

They have done it again

Singapore Airlines has set itself to once again make the record for the world’s longest flight. Their plan is to be able to be able to have the flight begin to take to the sky by the end of this year. Later this year, Airbus plans to unveil their A350-900 Ultra Long Range Jet. Singapore has already stated that they will be the first to receive the jet. Though Singapore Airlines had once run a flight which traveled from Singapore to Newark, they ultimately were forced to cancel the route due to operational costs which prohibited the flight.

The new aircraft by Airbus is said to be able to make the cost of these ultra-long flights more manageable due to its fuel efficiency. The A350-900 is able to fly up to 11,160 miles, which is over 1,000 miles more than the distance a standard A350 can fly. The intended route from Singapore to New York is 9,521 miles—meaning this journey will come nowhere close to pushing the limits of the A350-900. However, this ultra-long trek will take 19 hours to complete.

The flight will not be completed without its fair share of amenities, though. There will be only two classes on the 19 hour flight: business and premium economy. The jet will be complete with lighting which is intended to reduce or completely eliminate jet lag. The flight also features an air circulation system to renew the air in the cabin every two minutes.

Previously, Qatar held the record for the longest flight with a 9,032, 18 hour journey from Auckland to Doha. Right after Qatar was a flight by Qantas from Perth to London. This flight launched in March and took just over 17 hours. While Singapore plans to hold the record for the longest flight, they also plan to have another long flight of 15 hours from Singapore to Los Angeles.
