Maya Marvel

Eternal sunshine and beachfront hedonism await you at Nizuc, a supremely tasteful 28-acre resort rising on the Maya Riviera, and only 15 minutes from the Cancun airport.

The 1-3BR residences, each with a wall of immense windows and soaring ceilings, are divinely infused with nature; each comes with a private terrace pool, hidden in a veil of mangrove and echoing the sea below. Dine on-property at a fine Peruvian restaurant or a Mexican bistro. Two Jack Nicklaus golf courses lie just across the water by boat. A daily highlight: the fiery sunset over Nizuc. From $1.35 million to $4.5 million. OCCUPANCY FALL 2009.

Low Country Luxury

This spring or summer, gather friends or family and stake out a grand 6BR Charleston-style manse on Kiawah Island, only 30 minutes from the stately city, deep down in the unrivaled South Carolina low country. The wraparound porches and observation deck afford views of the ocean, lagoons, marsh, and fairway. This white-pillared beauty sprawls with 5,702-SF, walk-in closets, eat-in kitchen, and ceilings that reach over nine feet. Golfers will find themselves close to two of Kiawah’s four sainted courses, Osprey and Ocean (within view of the verandah, and home of the 2007 PGA Championships). Take a low country drive under moss-draped oaks or walk the lovely, flat Atlantic beach. Go biking, fishing, crabbing, or hit one of Kiawah’s two award-winning tennis compounds. And save time for Charleston. Rental rates—spring/fall: $9,000/week, $1,800/night; summer: $11,000/week, $2,200/night. OCCUPANCY IMMEDIATE.
