自我介绍

I first fell in love with Saadiyat when I saw an exhibition about Sheikh Zayed's unique vision for Saadiyat Island, whilst staying at Emirates Palace with Shakira for New Year's Eve in 2008. I was so impressed that I decided to save up to buy a home on this special island and to relocate from my home in London. This was a dream I eventually fulfilled in 2015. I've named the property Villa Lazuli after the deep-blue metamorphic rock and semi-precious stone Lapiz Lazuli - said to bring the energy of leadership & vision. Being so close to the azure waters of Saadiyat Beach, the villa's style is very much coastal chic, meets Mediterranean luxury and eclectic world-charm. I’ve spent the last five years meticulously designing, crafting and lovingly transforming this home into my dream island property. There is a story behind every mosaic tile and hand-blown chandelier as well as all the unique celebrity artwork and decorative pieces which we have accumulated through my foundation's work with celebrities and leaders in their field. These items are hung on the walls and also available for your use. Each celebrity piece of artwork has a story, a message of hope for the 21st Century, all of which I’d be very happy to share with you during your stay if it's of interest to you. I have decided to open my home to high-end boutique vacation clients and guests, at this time, to help generate funds for good causes. I plan to cover the costs of the three full-time staff who have been hired specifically to take care of you, (Simiso our Live-In Property Manager & House Keeper, Rene our South African Bookings Concierge and our talented Sari who takes on the multiple titles of Maintenance, Landscaping, Pool Cleaning & Golf Cart Driver for our guests), and donate the balance of the net proceeds to fund charitable endeavours in Asia & Africa, as our world sure needs all our help right now. I hope you will choose Villa Lazuli and enjoy my unique home on our beautiful Saadiyat Island, as much as I do. Light & love, Charlotte
