Marfa Texas

In 1971, minimalist artist Donald Judd headed west from New York in search of a place to create and permanently house his increasingly large-form sculptures. West of the Pecos, he found the quiet town of Marfa and its Fort D. A. Russell, a decommissioned military base, where he created the Chinati Foundation, one of the country’s finest exhibition spaces for contemporary installation art.

Maia Luxury Resort & Spa Seychelles

A secluded tropical haven of blue water, white sand, and carefree living, Maia Luxury Resort & Spa Seychelles is vintage Seychelles by the seashore. An ideal property to go and hide away. Nobody from the outside is allowed in.
Legend has it that the Seychelles archipelago is the original Garden of Eden, and you won’t quibble with that claim. At least not from your 2,700 sq. ft. Ocean Panoramic Villa, which offers 180-degree views of the lush coastline fronting Maia Luxury Resort & Spa Seychelles. Two other details that suggest paradise: The thatch-roofed villas have their own infinity pools – and a private butler to barbecue and serve you fresh fish in the outdoor gazebo. An ideal property to go and hide away in, you won’t find your peace disturbed here.
