As the first worldwide mobile app for chartering a yacht, YachtLife features brokers that can tailor nothing short of the best sea experience on one of the high-quality vessels in their fleets.

With the desire of urban living being stronger than ever, we partnered with YachtLife to add a unique, great benefit to living at Reach and Rise Residences and connects our residents with the outdoors, which is what Miami is all about,” said Maile Aguila, senior vice president of residential sales for Swire Properties Inc. “Our penthouse buyers see the value of living at Brickell City Centre and understand that there is nothing else on the market where you are in the middle of the city’s action and can have yachting, dining and entertainment right at your fingertips, as well as incredible floor plans, ultimate privacy, elite services and sweeping views of the water and city skyline.”

Membership in the app is perfect for those who enjoy the pleasures of the sea and charter yachts on multiple occasions throughout the year. As members of YachtLife, the owners of one of the 14 penthouses at Reach and Rise get special pricing on all yacht charters, as well as offers on products and services of the app's luxury brand and hospitality partners.

The terms, prices and secure payment system implemented on the app expedite setting up luxury yacht outings. The residents of the penthouses simply take a quick ride down the private, biometric-access-only elevators and head to one of South Florida's numerous luxury marinas for an only-in-Miami experience.

In addition to Miami, the luxury yacht company has ties with brokers around the world, including Southern California, The Hamptons, New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., The Bahamas, Mexico, Saint Martin, Ibiza, Mallorca, Greece, Croatia, Portugal, France, Italy, Turkey, Dubai, Thailand and more.

Why Living In Thailand Is Pure Luxury

This is a tale of two lifestyles, in the best of times, in an age of wisdom, and in a season of Light. It's a tale of the two faces of Thailand: rural bliss and urban pleasures; both of which exemplify the pristine beauty of Thailand, its natural wonders and eco-friendly destinations. Until you're able to vacation or live in Thailand and experience firsthand what luxuriousness really means, visit Thailand by viewing these jaw-dropping photos.

Rural Bliss

Impeccable white-sand beaches, waterfalls and emerald rice fields and turquoise waters and awe-inspiring mountain landscapes. Thailand’s countryside is pure bliss.

Country living has never looked and felt so good.

The Red Lotus Sea in northern Thailand houses millions of lotus flowers, which collectively transform the sea into a crimson red.

The red lotus flower is rare and beautiful; it symbolizes love, compassion, passion, and other emotions of the heart. This lotus flower is often depicted as an open bloom to represent the ideal state of the heart. Knowing this, makes the Red Lotus Sea even that more mesmerizing.

The ideal country space for some R&R with friends and family.

Rice terraces in the north of Thailand create the most hypnotic landscape. Verdant green hills undulating for miles.

Urban Pleasures

Each year in November, during the Yi Peng Festival, Thailanders release floating lanterns into the night sky.

Bangkok’s skyline is mesmerizing. And shopping here is also a luxury unto itself.

Thailand's famous floating markets have an abundance of fresh produce.

Thai food is colorful, full of flavor and super cheap.

It doesn't get any better than slumbering in city sweetness amongst Bangkok's bliss, bounty and beauty.

Ango World

With a return to the office after summer vacation, one can often feel cut-off from nature, encased in glass towers and air-conditioning. The stunning pieces created by award-winning design company Ango help reconnect with nature and tranquility. Ango, launched in 2003, design, develop and manufacture lighting from the company’s base in Thailand. Ango’s designs are an emblem of environmental responsibility, which the company describes as an allegory about nature and technology, bringing peace to the home through light. Along with silk cocoons, Ango uses sustainable materials like mulberry tree bark, rattan and sea kelp polymers.

The company was even featured in an exhibit at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design. In honor of the exhibit, which highlighted nature in design, the company created a special piece titled Eight Thousand Miles of Home. The piece was a light sculpture constructed from more than twelve thousand silk cocoons assembled on a hand-soldered wire matrix. A celebration of nature’s strength, each cocoon measured nearly a third of a mile when laid flat, so that the whole sculpture would total eight thousand miles.

The company now has more than sixty models in demand all over the world, in addition to creating exclusive, large-scale one-of-a-kind installation pieces.
