Tijdschrift voor augustus

Normally, I let my summer vacation pass without printing a single boarding pass. Summer rush and me, it's not a good match. I get stressed out by overcrowded terminals, sold-out rental cars, and restaurants where you have to beg for a table three months in advance. And yet this year, on July 1st, I set off for Mallorca with an exceptionally lightly packed beach bag. Or rather: to a house from August, the luxury co-ownership platform that selects properties for people who want a relaxing experience without the hassle.

August's most coveted collection just got an extraordinary sequel. Following the sell-out success of our first Prime collection, we’re unveiling Paloma, the next evolution in our high-design experience. Rooted in effortless luxury and designed to deepen our signature blend of authenticity, craftsmanship, and community, Paloma is more than four exquisite homes, it’s a way of life.

Odéon is where Paris slows down just enough to be truly lived. This isn’t a checklist neighbourhood, it’s a place to wander, linger, and soak in an authentically French summer rhythm. From secret galleries to quiet cinemas, leafy mornings to long, easy evenings, here’s how to spend summer like a local in this quietly vibrant corner of the city.

At August, every home we design begins with a question: how can we honour the spirit of a place, not just its style? In our latest project, that place is Santanyí, a village that invites slowness, connection, and timeless design. What follows is the story of a townhouse restored with that intention at its core.

The inherent charm of les Quais de Seine, quaint boulangeries and priceless atmosphere makes Paris a favourite destination for so many of our Homeowners, be that for a long weekend away or for longer come the summer months. When you have the convenience and comfort of an August Pied À Terre or of a Grand Pied À Terre apartment, you are never merely visiting Paris, you are living in Paris.

You would be hard-pressed to find a restaurant or canteen without a buzzing atmosphere in Barcelona, but there are some in particular that August always seeks out to delight our gastronomic senses.

Vineyard hopping in Tuscany and hiking majestic mountains in the French Alps are just two of the adventures you can look forward to with our expert travel guide to Europe.
