Salvador Dali, one of the most gifted and certainly most influential artists to ever grace the earth with the brilliance of his vision, once famously declared: “have no fear of perfection – you will never reach it”. Had he been alive today the Spanish eccentric would have no option but to drive a thick pin into his ego and admit that the masterminds behind the Boutique Residence project have indeed managed the impossible: that is to come as close as humanly possible to the ever evasive sense of perfection. Winning Overseas Living’s Luxury Lifestyle Award for Best Development, Cyprus – 2010, is foremost a testament to the sheer determination, the dedication, the long hours of hard work and meticulous planning, a tribute to the vision and the believe in the dream, and all those elements that had to be applied in heavy doses to transform the building into a work of impeccable taste and magnificence; the Boutique Residence is truly a work of art, an exercise in comfort and opulence.

Labour of love
Talking to the instigators behind the Boutique Residence project, seeing the glint in their eyes as they guide me through the process of taking a wild dream by the hand and safely placing it into the realm of reality, it is obvious that to them this is far more important than just another run-of-the-mill business venture. The Boutique Residence is truly and unquestionably a labour of love, a personal bet to achieve the challenge of creating a space of affluent luxury and unashamed leisure. Every detail, however small and seemingly irrelevant has been feverishly thought of, vigorously researched and painstakingly implemented. Every little trimming has been designed as a perfect fit to the natural aura of peacefulness and good will that the building so abundantly exudes. Make no mistake: what they have envisaged is not a building that only functions as a roof over the head, but a home where calmness prevails and the community idea reigns supreme.

Prime position
The Boutique Residence is located in the Limassol leisure district and only two kilometers from the city center, so the city’s many fashion outlets and exquisite restaurants, bars and cafeterias are literally at your doorstep. However, it is the complex’ proximity to the Mediterranean Sea that makes it such an intriguing proposition, location wise. Cross the street, walk through the eucalyptus and mimosa strip locally known as the “Dassoudi” (literally meaning small forest) and feel spirits rise as the soft waves wash out over the short. Thanks to the island’s almost permanent exposure to the sun, watersports and bathing facilities at the “Dassoudi” sandy beach are a possibility at any given time of the year, and after a hard day of fun, leisure and sunbathing, residents can take a stroll through the two kilometer long stretch and enjoy the best that nature in Cyprus has to offer. The adventurous can join the many locals that use the Dassoudi promenade for their daily dose of exercise and healthy living; returning home and with a cold drink in hand, pulling out a chair on the veranda for the perfect recuperation with a cool afternoon breeze blowing in from the Mediterranean offer some much needed relief from the scorching heat of the day.

Sheer brilliance
Elegance is the operative word here. It’s obvious from the moment of walking through the doors and into the eloquently decorated foyer that no expense has been spared in the quest for greatness. In the Boutique Residence a permanent sense of comfort and luxury lingers in the air, creating the perfect backdrop upon which the vision behind the operation is projected; to create a space that uplifts the human spirit and combines comfort with great design, a place where an unparalleled living experience can escape the strict confines of wishful thinking and become a reality. To pull off this amazing coup, the creators of this astounding building realised that they had to tackle all problems head on, and rather than cutting corners, opting for quick and cheap therefore unreliable solutions, they decided only the world’s most durable and finest quality building materials were suitable to adorn the jewel-studded crown they had dreamed of. Specially imported teak from Burma – considered to be the world’s finest – is the material of choice for not only the bedroom and corridor flooring but also for entrance doors to all the suites as well as the paneling.

Choosing the appropriate material for the rest of the floor covering was an equally easy task: snow white marble from Thassos, without a doubt the world’s finest and certainly most expensive. Taking its name from the Greek island, Thassos marble has been quarried since ancient times, its brilliant white color making it synonymous with good taste and lavishness. However this amazing gift of nature is also rare and almost extinct; unfortunate as it may sound, the reality is that there is a good chance the Boutique Residence will go down in history as the last project of this magnitude in the world to use Thassos marble as an integral part of its decoration and style.

To attempt to list the many features and splendors of the Boutique Residence verges on the impossible; simply put there are too many to mention in a single article. A quick rundown of the many features a potential owner can expect to find in the Boutique Residence, reads like this: all suites are equipped with high end audiovisual electronics, home automation by Creston, pre-build home cinema, the latest in flat panel TV’s, including waterproof bathroom LCDs with satellite connectivity. All common areas are monitored by security and surveillance equipment and all the suites are fitted with a security and fire detection system, video monitor entry, under floor heating, double glazed windows, an external shading system, high speed internet access, the list goes on and on.

The Boutique Residence provides concierge and housekeeping services, while the complex also features a small conference room. Having fully understood that leisure is an integral part of modern living, the developers have left no stone unturned in their bid to ensure that the well-being of those fortunate ones to snap up one of Boutique Residence’s suites is guaranteed at every level imaginable. The pool area, which is currently under construction, with its tranquil greenery will be the perfect setting for those times when going to the beach is either not an option or simply too tiring, while the exclusive member only gym is the obvious choice when one will feel the urgency to pamper the body and senses, or when the pressures of everyday living become too heavy to handle and a dose of relaxation is just what the doctor ordered.

An exclusive member’s only club restaurant and lounge bar, located on the ground floor is set to open its doors in the not too distant future. Along with the opulent surroundings, this promises to be a truly unforgettable culinary experience.=
