Man made floating island—the future of luxury recreation?

Is it a yacht? A resort? Or  a man made floating island? BMT Nigel Gee, a branch of the BMT Group, announced their collaboration with Henry Ward Design for penning down and creating a brand new concept, the “Recreational Island”.

A floating platform, it is also able to fold and has the possibility of being stored inside the tender bay of large yachts.  It may be also be launched at water via the tender cranes and towed by the same tender to the future owners’ desired position.

When deployed, it will measure 10m x 8m and could easily fit into shallow bays or can even serve as an extension of the yacht’s transom platform. It could also be easily used as a dining area or simply a supplementary lounge spot, followed by a whole array of other purposes including a portable helipad.

Designed by Yacht Design Director James Roy,  the project perfectly fits BMT Nigel Gee. He said   “we recognize that creativity drives innovation and it is encouraging to see young designers such as Henry initiating ideas such as the Recreational Island. We are strong believers in recognizing that the creation and development of new ideas is best accomplished in a collaborative manner – bringing together unique capabilities to achieve the optimum result.”

Henry Ward is currently awaiting for  investors for his projects and hopefully, this beauty will turn into reality.

Welcome to 2012!

The year 2011 has been an exciting one for us here at Golden Mile Group.In our effort to surpass our clients’ expectations in everything we do despite these financially challenging time, we continued to find new ideas to extend our services, as always, with outstanding customer service and continual eye on quality.

Here at Golden Mile, we promise our clients that we will go that extra mile through innovation without  losing sight of the aim; through thinking  laterally, without losing focus of the result.

This year, we embraced technology and it embraced us.

With the birth of our official blog, The Extra Mile For You, we have opened a wider bridge of communication with our public as we bring them the latest news, trends, and updates in the world of fine living—from 5 star villas to yachts and boats, holiday and travel destinations,  even tee times. Definitely an excellent channel of interaction, through the blog we have received your comments, queries and suggestions, some of which have been vital in our day to day decision makings.

2011 also marked our exciting participation to the world of Social Media such as Facebook and Twitter! These tools have helped us enormously not only in information exchange and  daily interaction with people around the world but also in extending the reach of our services worldwide and promoting a stronger brand name retention.  You may ask anyone in Marbella with a Facebook account if they have heard of Golden Mile Group and we bet the majority of them will say “yes”. With over 2000 friends in Facebook and almost 1000 followers in Twitter, we are pleased to have done so well in Marketing and Public Relations in a short amount of time…something that traditional tools would fail to accomplish.

We believe to make an impact on first sight. Through our Youtube channel,our Flickr site and our blog, we give you, our clients, a glimpse of what your dream property looks and feels like. In this way, we can help you maximize your time by cutting unnecessary viewing trips and come up with an intelligent initial decision makings. Of course, our expert agents are always there to provide you with information, show you the properties and assist you with every step of the way but with our new media channels, you can easily decide if the pool in that villa is too small for your summer party or  if the kitchen is too big for a newly wed couple.

Last year also marked an idea to give back something to our loyal clients and new friends with our “Trip to Miami” competition via our social media channels. This successful endeavor was won by our Facebook fan from Italy who will be spending three days in one of our luxury villas in Miami this year aside from $1000 cash and other perks included. This a celebratory competition for those of you who have supported Golden Mile Group for more than a decade now.

So as 2012 unfolds, expect bigger and brighter things from all of us here at Golden Mile. We promise to continue giving you the best customer service, the highest standards of our properties and always going the Extra Mile to meet and surpass your needs and expectations.

Happy New year and All The Very Best!
