Simply Abu Dhabi XXIX

2 5 2 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The O’Bryans closed on their purchase in February and within a few weeks it was ready for occupancy, largely furnished with furniture and Oriental rugs from shops and antique stores in Edinburgh and St Andrews. “The view from our bay window looks straight down the first and 18th fairways with the R&A Clubhouse and the beach just beyond,” Michael said. “St Andrews is a mystical place with the castle, the cathedral, hidden passageways and cobblestone streets. It’s a college town, a beach resort and a historical destination.” And then there’s golf—five 18-hole courses within walking distance of Hamilton Grand, with another dozen nearby and every major course in Scotland within a day trip. Among numerous Hamilton Grand amenities is a 24- hour butler staff, which means someone is always ready to assist with everything from booking a tee time, to changing a high-ceiling lightbulb to welcoming guests. “Rarely has a week gone by that we haven’t had guests,” said Michael. We take them up to the rooftop terrace with views overlooking St. Andrews Bay all the way to Carnoustie, and share a toast—to the good life. Residences at Hamilton Grand are available from $1.2million. For information contact HamiltonGrand@kohler.com
