Luxurious Tranquility This luxury Miami-area hotel appropriately takes its name from the Indonesian word “Setai,” which loosely translated means “South Beach.” It could also appropriately take its name from words in any language that mean “luxurious tranquility” because that is what surrounds you from the moment you have privileged access into the hotel lobby. The Setai Resort is a masterful collaboration of Miami and Shanghai’s rich art deco architecture and design history. Asian influences abound throughout the hotel—from the art, textiles, and textures in the suites to Setai’s Sushi Lounge and into the spa with its menu of Eastern healing therapies. You can even call The Setai home—one-bedroom residences start at $1.6 million and rise up to the penthouse listing of more than $29 million. But a Setai Club Membership is a must at $300,000 plus annual dues of $7,200. The invitation-only membership to the Setai Club includes private yacht and plane charter as well as access to all future Setai Group luxury properties tentatively scheduled to open in downtown New York City, Norman’s Cay in the Bahamas, and Punta del Este in Uraguay. For more information on The Setai Resort & Residences in South Beach, Miami, please visit setai.com or call 888.625.7500. —Chris O’Connell On the Radar Conway Stewart, the world’s premiere luxury pen crafter, has announced production of the limited edition “Red Arrows” Churchill fountain pen commemorating the achievements of Britain’s most celebrated Royal Air Force aerobatic team, The Red Arrows.

Adrenaline Rush No strobes, no VASI to guide you . . . just pure pilot skill and the necessity to overcome the depth- perception issues of a water landing. The Seawind 300C takes you everywhere you want to be—and fast! If you love the freedom that amphibian flying allows but have grown tired of squeezing into tiny cabins and traveling at a snail’s pace, then you’re in luck. The wide cabin of the 300C comfortably fits four to five passengers and flies at speeds of 190 mph or more, making it the most spacious and fastest amphibian in its class. Able to fly cross-country with only one stop, the structural integrity and versatility of the 300C’s 310-horsepower engine rivals that of any land plane. The freedom of skipping airports and making seven-tenths of the world’s surface your airstrip makes this go-anywhere airplane outshine the possibilities of any small land plane. With certification scheduled for completion before next September and production already back-ordered for the next two years, now is the time to order. In-the-know pilots recognize a great thing when they see it, and the Seawind 300C is sure to change the world of amphibious aircraft forever. The current price runs about $320,000. To schedule a personal demonstration flight with the 300C please call 610.917.1120; for more information please visit seawind.biz. —JC Members Only Looking for a provocative challenge on the links?
