Over-the-top indulgences

Having to stay put inside our homes for a huge portion of the year has allowed us to reconsider our living spaces and its surroundings.

Some have been pushed to finally do that long overdue renovation. Others are now looking for residential developments that come with amenities, which could still somewhat give its residents a semblance of activity and normalcy despite limitations due to the pandemic.

Many property developers have turned creative when it comes to features that will provide enjoyment and convenience to their residents. Some, however, are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to pampering their residents and letting the latter live a life of unparalleled ultra-comfort.

The Estates at Acqualina is an ultra-luxury residential development that offers jaw dropping amenities.

The Estates at Acqualina features an indoor ice skating rink where residents can practice their jumps and spins.
