La Sultane de Saba Present their new product range

“Voyage Balinais”

Bali has been called the Island of the Gods, in homage to its sumptuous majesty and the incredible diversity of its colours and landscapes. As if all the world’s divinity had been concentrated in this magical South Sea island, where colourful ceremonies and a vast range of rituals follow one another all year round, new and different each time.
A whole world of exotic flowers blooms there between the rice fields and at the foot of each mountain or volcano.

The Balinese have believed since time immemorial that flowers have power to mould the human soul. The lotus for example, the world’s loveliest flower, is especially abundant on the island. The frangipani blossom, which blooms on a magnificent, immortal tree, is a symbol of unalloyed femininity and seductive charm and is imbued, like the lotus, with tradition and legend.

Voyage BalinaisLa Sultane de Saba has taken these two opulent jewels of the island’s natural heritage to create its “Voyage Balinais” range, composed of products that perfectly reflect the beautifying rituals of Bali’s womanhood:

- Lulur body scrub with lotus and frangipani blossom
- Lotus and frangipani blossom oil
- Lotus and frangipani blossom body lotion
- Lotus and frangipani blossom shea butter
- Box set with lotus and frangipani blossom shea butter, oil and body scrub

Adriana Karembeu creates her own-name line cosmetics

adriana3.jpgThe face and silhouette of a Top Model.
The desire to devote effort to the world of luxury and beauty.

TAdriana thus decided to devote considerable energy to the creation of an own-name line of cosmetics and that resembles her. Adriana is a perfectionist
She wants only the best for her products. She worked hard with chemists for a whole year to develop her formulas. Nothing escaped her: the quality of active substances, the choice of fragrances, the velvety feel of the products. She tested everything, commented, refused, validated like the professional she is, using the knowledge acquired during her medical studies at the Charles IV University in Prague.
She is demanding
No animal testing, no parabens that are under scrutiny by the European Union in Brussels, the choice of an outstanding active substance rarely used in cosmetics except for several exceptional niche brands: organic Silicone.
She is always after more. She had chemists bond active substances to silicone in order to obtain maximal effects in terms of moisturizing, firming, softness and nutrition.
akd103_p.jpgSilicium+ line was born with her designer label.
Silicium+ is not the whim of a star but the result of a strong will to be an active member of the world of beauty to provide an exceptional plus to women.
Silicium+, a coherent line, responding to the demands of active and dynamic women attentive to their skin.
Silicium+, products as tender as the packaging rose, with the heart signature of Adriana.

Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora Opening mid 2008

Four Seasons Resort Bora BoraSun and style in French Polynesia
It’s the ultimate South Seas experience.

Between the island’s towering volcanic pinnacle and its encircling necklace of white-fringed motus (or reef islands), a lagoon inspires a thesaurus of blues: cobalt, aquamarine, turquoise and azure.

Mystical Bora Bora’s allure is primeval and profound. Tattooed fire dancers still spin torches to beating drums as they might have done for Captain Cook in 1777; you’ll see faces straight from a Gauguin painting.

On 20 exotic hectares (50 acres) of this paradise, Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora imbues the South Pacific with stylish possibilities. Thatched water bungalows hover over the lagoon, while villas stake out private space on the beach. Each lets you feel the sun and sea breeze even while in the bath and enthrones you like South Seas royalty of long ago (but with much faster wireless Internet).

Watch operatic sunsets over the finest culinary arts on the island. Commune with sea turtles in one of the top dive spots in the world. Splash in your own private lagoon. Stay as busy as you want: deep-sea fish, kite surf or kayak or time your breath to the sound of the Pacific surf and absorb the French Polynesian romance that’s part of every spa treatment.

Your sighs need no translation.

This little bit of paradise will open in mid 2008
