			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">When times call for having your own private island and buying an island is just not in the cards, consider these cards: a magical adventure island in the Bahamas cays called <a href="http://kurtzahlers.com/clients/musha_cay.php">Musha Cay</a>. Share it with 24 of your favorite friends complete with magical adventures curated by owner, David Copperfield.</p>
<p>Perfect to celebrate a wedding on the sandbar (below&#8230;many hollywood and Forbes types have tied the knot there), gathering of friends, or special celebration.  For 24 guests the rate is just $2,188 per person all-inclusive.  And, a night on David Copperfield’s magical island buys a lot of private island.<br />
<a href="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Sandbar_couple.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-538" title="Sandbar_couple" src="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Sandbar_couple-1024x860.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="483" /></a><br />
Once you land on the island’s private runway, or dock the yacht and come to shore, the wow factor sets in. First, Musha Cay is not simply a gorgeous resort that hired the right design team and got the color schemes to pop. Musha Cay is another world and other worldly experiences that only a guy who can be in Las Vegas one minute and Paris the next, literally, who can fly effortlessly above the crowds or handily and confidently make the Brooklyn Bridge go away, could dream up. And dream he did, with the help of a skilled team of illusionist engineers, to make Musha Cay into an island of adventure, an island of the unexpected, an island where anything can happen – and does.</p>
<p>Where else would you find a library dedicated to the magic arts in a tempered room of filtered light controlled by plantation shutters? Rifle through letters from Charlie Chaplin and Arthur Conan Doyle, or check out some piece of water torture equipment invented by Houdini while waiting sipping on Dom (included).</p>
<p>But the art of the story is what Copperfield is all about and his signature island experience does not disappoint. There are secret beaches to find, lost pirates to help, strange and unusual props that materialize up unexpectedly in jungley places. As one writer described, it’s a bit of Disney – with impeccable detail.</p>
<p>And that detail is lavished on each of the cottages, each a complete work in its own right starting with the plantation style bones of the architecture and moving into rich, Balinese interiors surrounded by ocean and bathed in Bahamian light. Count a total of 12 bedrooms and 13.5 baths among cottages as prodigious as 10,000 square feet. Privacy is ensured with each cottage located a distance from anything else, after all there are 700 acres here spread across 11 secluded islets that Copperfield acquired in 2006.<br />
<a href="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/beachhouse-bath.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-540" title="beachhouse-bath" src="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/beachhouse-bath-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="180" /></a><a href="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/pier-house-bed.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-541" title="pier-house-bed" src="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/pier-house-bed-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
But never ask beauty to trump entertainment at a resort owned by the world’s most celebrated master of magic. Movies on the beach, nautical toys, must-try adventures such as the Musha 500 race, the M.U.S.H.A. Force spy challenge, and the Treasure of Copperfield Bay treasure hunt are not for kids only.</p>
<p>And on Musha Cay they are memories shared in an island paradise filled only with the people you pick.</p>
<p>If you are seeking to buy out a resort that is not a private island, <a href="http://kurtzahlers.com/clients/imanta.php">Imanta</a>, 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, provides the wrapped setting with plenty of location benefits.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For starters, the spot on a secluded point along the beaches of Punta de Mita in Nayarit will turn a wedding ceremony into a heavenly tableau. Then there are the thirtenn private villas, more like mini-manses, perched on bluffs above the Pacific, each with bedrooms that could fit a bowling alley, décor that would please a movie star, and views that take your breath away.<br />
<a href="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/panorama.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-544" title="Panorama 1 Filtro" src="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/panorama-1024x428.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="240" /></a><br />
The onsite spa keeps the bride beautiful and guests relaxed while nearby towns and villages provide plenty of distraction while the wedding couple prepares or repairs. Inquire about a buyout of Imanta to accommodate up to 30 special guests. But overflow lodging in nearby luxury resorts and hotels can accommodate any bounteous guest list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Save up to 50% on Soneva Kiri’s Experience Package with prices starting from just<br />
$1,140 per night per villa.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/SonevaKiri.jpg"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-509" title="SonevaKiri" src="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/SonevaKiri-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="369" height="246" /></a>The package includes :</p>
<p>• Discounted accommodation</p>
<p>• Shared round trip plane transfer by Soneva Kiri Plane</p>
<p>• Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner</p>
<p>• House brand alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages</p>
<p>• In Villa mini bar</p>
<p>• Laundry service</p>
<p>• Selected resort excursions and activities</p>
<p>Soneva Kiri’s myriad charms have been gathered into a beautiful ‘all-in’ Soneva Kiri Experience package to be offered to guests from now until the end of August this year. Along with the most spacious villas in Thailand, comes an array of the sort of experiences which memories are made of such as: ‘Koh Mai Si Discovery’ a trip to the local honey farm, to see the bees and try the honey, which is used in many dishes served at the resort, including one of the Ice Cream Parlor’s 60 flavors of ice-cream; or Jungle Trekking to see the stunning, hidden waterfalls or the Kao Rua Rub-King Ramma 5 Buddha Rock; or a trip to Koh Rang – the coral island – on a snorkeling trip; kayaking to Khlong Yai Ki amongst the ancient mangrove forests; and cooking classes, learning fresh, healthy Thai recipes to take home at the Cooking Hut.</p>
<p>After all that activity, it seems only fair that Soneva Kiri is including too breakfast, lunch and dinner – all prepared using fresh, organic ingredients, locally sourced and many grown in the resort’s own organic gardens, and prepared to Michelin –star standard by Executive Chef, Stephen Quinn. The fine house wines, beers and soft drinks as well as the contents of the mini bar are included too. And so is the flight to and from the resort from Bangkok in Soneva Kiri’s own private Cessna caravan 8-seater aeroplane. Essentially from the moment the Soneva Kiri team greets you at Bangkok airport, all your real life worries, troubles and tensions may be wrapped up along with your shoes and your wallet for the duration of your holiday.</p>

<p>Soneva Kiri, sitting on Koh Kood in the Gulf of Thailand, is Thailand as it used to be, serene, remote, majestically beautiful, burgeoning with vibrant nature. Koh Kood is Thailand’s fourth largest but least populated island, remote but now accessible in the resort’s private plane, just an hour’s flight from Bangkok.</p>
<p>Soneva Kiri’s wonderfully luxurious and abundantly spacious villas, nestle almost unseen amongst the tropical jungle, beside the sea. It is the essence of barefoot luxury – being at one with the natural world, whilst luxuriating in every creature comfort, space, privacy and outstanding, intuitive service.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kurtzahlers.com/clients/kauri_cliffs.php"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-472" title="Waiaua-Bay-and-Golf-Green" src="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Waiaua-Bay-and-Golf-Green1-300x245.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="245" /></a><br />
The two most decorated resort courses in the entire Asia-Pacific region are now more decorated still &#8212; and the traveling golfer remains welcome. In its new ranking of all golf courses located outside the United States, Golf Digest U.S. &#8212; the definitive source of world course rankings since it pioneered the practice in 1966 &#8212; has placed both <a href="http://www.capekidnappers.com/">Cape Kidnappers Golf Course</a> in Napier, New Zealand (#6), and sister Kiwi club, <a href="http://www.kauricliffs.com/">Kauri Cliffs GC</a> in Bay of Islands (#19), in its prestigious Top 100.</p>
<p>Each of the primary global competitors in the course-ranking arena, Golf Digest U.S. and GOLF Magazine U.S., continue to rank both Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs among the world&#8217;s Top 100 courses — even when all those courses in the United States are considered.</p>
<p>Yet no Asia-Pacific course open to public play ranks higher than Cape Kidnappers. Indeed, only the West Course at Australia&#8217;s famed Royal Melbourne GC (#2) outranked the feted Tom Doak design at Cape Kidnappers, opened in 2004. The last time Golf Digest issued this list, in 2009, Cape Kidnappers ranked 13th. Kauri Cliffs ranked 25th — so Kauri, too, has moved up significantly.</p>
<p>The 2012 ranking also represents a significant step forward in terms of international recognition for Asia-Pacific&#8217;s top courses. In all, there are 29 from the region represented among this new Top 100, whereas only 17 were cited in the 2009 ranking. Joining Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers among resort courses in the top 20 for 2012 are Barnbougle Dunes on the Australian island of Tasmania, and the Kawana Hotel&#8217;s Fuji Course in Shizuoka, Japan.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are so many courses in Asia-Pacific rightly considered &#8216;world class&#8217;, but what good is learning that a club is ranked so highly if it&#8217;s private — and traveling golfers cannot play it?&#8221; asked Ryan Brandeburg, director of golf for both New Zealand clubs. &#8220;Accessibility should be of primary importance to anyone who pays close attention to these rankings.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are particularly pleased to be ranked so highly among courses outside the United States because while we consider our clientele to be worldwide, we are proudly part of the Asia-Pacific golf community,&#8221; Brandeburg continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s important that golfers in Australia, in China, in Japan and Korea and across Southeast Asia recognize that Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs are special, the highest ranked, most celebrated courses in the region they can play.  &#8221;New Zealand can represent a significant journey to some, but here is more proof that the golf — along with our accommodations, cuisine and natural surroundings — make that journey worthwhile.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs are owned and operated by American hedge fund legend Julian Robertson, who first visited New Zealand in 1979, and has since adopted it as a second home.</p>
<p>In 2000, Robertson opened his first property, Kauri Cliffs GC (www.kauricliffs.com), which looks out upon the ultra-scenic, North Island archipelago known as the Bay of Islands. The David Harman design was immediately ranked among the Top 100 in the world. The 5-star Lodge at Kauri Cliffs would soon join the course on a sprawling 2630-hectare parcel.</p>
<p>In 2004, course architect Tom Doak unveiled Cape Kidnappers (www.capekidnappers.com), which has come to be ranked even higher. Cape Kidnappers is an actual landform unto itself, a triangular headland where white cliffs jut 8 kilometers out into the Pacific Ocean from the North Island community of Napier. The 5-star Farm at Cape Kidnappers opened in 2006.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kurtzahlers.com/clients/cape_kidnappers.php"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-477" title="Cape Kidnappers" src="http://www.kurtzahlers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Cape-Kidnapper-Aerial-1-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="383" /></a></p>
<p>Brandeburg noted that rankings of any kind are naturally subjective. But it&#8217;s also true that course rankings do not take into account all those elements that comprise a golf holiday: accessibility, hotel accommodations (and whether those accommodations are on-site), cuisine, non-golfing activities and the physical setting of the resort itself.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are frankly eager for the various golf publications to assemble a Top 100 that simply takes into account accessibility, course merit, and the quality of on-site lodgings,&#8221; Brandeburg continued. &#8220;These are the factors traveling golfers mostly strongly consider: The course cannot be private, naturally, and who wants to shape a golf holiday around a great course that doesn&#8217;t have a hotel on site, or doesn&#8217;t provide world-class food and wine?</p>
<p>&#8220;Some day that list will be compiled, we are confident that both Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs would rank among the Top 5 in the world.&#8221; It&#8217;s clear the world travel press, with its focus on the hotel component, supports Brandeburg&#8217;s assertion.</p>
<p>• The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, a veranda-wrapped plantation house with adjoining guest cottages, was named the 6th best hotel in the world, according to the 2011 Condé Nast Traveller readers&#8217; poll, and the #1 Lodge in Australia and all Pacific Nations on the magazine&#8217;s 2012 Gold List. The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs was also recognized in 2011 as a Fodor&#8217;s 100 Hotels selection.</p>
<p>• In 2010, The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, located in the heart of New Zealand&#8217;s thriving wine region, was named to Travel+Leisure&#8217;s &#8220;World&#8217;s Top 50 Hotels&#8221;. It, too, earned Gold List status from CN Traveller for 2012. The Farm was also named among the &#8220;Top 20 International Hideaways&#8221; according to the Andrew Harper Readers Choice Awards, and was rated the #1 Overseas Golf Resort for 2012 by Luxury Travel magazine, published out of Australia.</p>
<p>In August 2010, the Robertson family oversaw grand opening of Matakauri Lodge in the ski and adventure sports Mecca of Queenstown, in New Zealand&#8217;s Southern Alps. Matakauri would subsequently make Condé Nast Traveller&#8217;s &#8220;2011 Hot List&#8221;, while simultaneously making a comprehensive N.Z. golf tour feasible.</p>
<p>Last year the Robertson properties offered their first-ever golf package, which has recently been re-issued for 2012 and 2013. The Ultimate New Zealand Golf Package includes nine nights across three lodges, four courses, and the country&#8217;s two islands. Per-person pricing ranges from $9,790 NZD in the low season (May through August) to $12,840 NZD in the high season, which runs November through March. [The NZ dollar equates to approximately .80 of the U.S. dollar.]</p>
<p>&#8220;Our company does not own or operate a golf property in Queenstown, but Matakauri is there and Queenstown is a very popular stop on almost every N.Z. itinerary,&#8221; Brandeburg explained. &#8220;Accordingly, we have partnered with two superb courses in Queenstown, The Hills GC and Jack&#8217;s Point, to complete The Ultimate Package. I should add that all our hotel properties, including the new Matakauri Lodge, are proud members of the exclusive and prestigious Relais &amp; Chateaux collection.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brandeburg noted that, in one important sense, no one can take credit for the overall appeal of the resort experiences on offer at Cape Kidnappers, Kauri Cliffs and Matakauri — not Julian Robertson, not Tom Doak, not the celebrity chefs who routinely ply their trades at all three properties, not even Rianne Cole, who pilots the Robertson family&#8217;s EC-130 helicopter that provides dramatic bird&#8217;s-eye tours of the New Zealand landscape, while also conveniently linking resort guests to Auckland International Airport. [Link here to a podcast interview with Ms. Cole.]</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s clear that a major part of our appeal is the extraordinary natural landscape of New Zealand,&#8221; he said. &#8220;No one can take credit for that, and it&#8217;s such an integral part of the experience at all of our properties — on the golf courses, in the lodge, at cliff-top or down on the beaches. &#8220;But it&#8217;s something we do work hard to protect and foster. At Cape Kidnappers, for example, the Robertson family has assembled one of the largest nature preserves in New Zealand enabling and protecting a thriving community of endangered species, including kiwi birds. By the end of June, we should finish a new aviary we intend to use for holding pairs of kaka and Red-crowned kakariki. These birds will breed and their off-spring will be released into the sanctuary to support establishing populations of these species.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These natural environments are integral to everything we do at all three resort locations,&#8221; Brandeburg summed up. &#8220;They are as important, in our view, as the luxury accommodations and golf experiences, which are obviously admired but also adhere to the same high environmental standards.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong>Alfredo Bataller, president founder of<strong> <a href="http://kurtzahlers.com/clients/sha_wellness.php">SHA Wellness Clinic</a></strong>, was awarded the &#8220;Entrepreneur of the Year Award&#8221; April 26 by  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">C</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ondé Nast Traveler</span> in a gala held at the Jardines de Cecilio Rodríguez in Madrid.</p>
<p><a href="http://kurtzahlers.com/clients/sha_wellness.php"><strong>SHA Wellness Clinic</strong></a> is pioneering on a global level and was created thanks to the personal experience of Alfredo Bataller, who, having followed years of traditional medical treatments, found the solution to his illness which he has had since childhood, through following healthy lifestyle habits and a macrobiotic diet.</p>
