Eden Rock resort owner David Matthews is expanding from the tropical heat of St. Barts to the forested beauty of northern Scotland. Best known for his luxurious villas in the Caribbean, Matthews has unveiled the Glen Affric Estates, a majestic Victorian hunting lodge in Inverness-shire with a surrounding 4,046 hectares of land that is part of the National Nature Preserve and has been named a Special Area of Conservation. Glen Affric guests are treated to the best of the Highlands including deer stalking, whiskey tasting, and fly-fishing from a private lake. Other features and activities include butlers, a culinary team flown in from France especially for guests, and helicopter rides. The eight-bedroom villa is available for birthday parties, reunions, and even corporate gatherings.
