Ever dreamt of a sea-facing home? What if I say, you can now own a house ‘on’ the sea.
Few trips are as luxurious as one aboard a superyacht. Impeccable service, stunning surroundings, exceptional amenities, and divine cuisine all combine to create a unique experience that you may never want to leave. Pretty soon, you won't have to buy a superyacht of your own to live on one. In 2024, the superyacht “Somnio” will launch with 39 luxurious apartments — a true floating paradise.
Instead of the typical cabins aboard a yacht, every unit will be an ultra-luxury apartment with expansive windows. The smallest apartments are close to 2,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, while the largest spans over 10,300 square feet, including a nearly 4,000-square-foot private terrace. The interiors are completely bespoke, down to the layout.
Every apartment will have a private outdoor space, a rarity among even the largest superyacht charters. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the apartments with light and allow for stunning views. Owners will be able to admire the iconic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, the New York City skyline, or even see polar bears and penguins in Antarctica — all from the privacy of their apartments.
Naturally, the amenities aboard are extensive. There's a large aft deck for days at sea, which includes a beach club with a lap pool and two large spas. There are plenty of loungers and outdoor seating so you can soak up the sun and the views. For water sports, head to the marina at the stern of the yacht, where there will be experts in fishing, diving, snorkeling, and more. There's also a helicopter landing pad for residents looking to arrive in style.
Inside, there are multiple restaurants and bars. World-class chefs will board at select destinations to cook their famous cuisine and immerse owners in local culture. There's a 10,000-bottle wine cellar with incredible vintages, a top-deck lounge and library, a movie theater, and the Connoisseur Club for fine spirits and cigars. Health and wellness are a focus aboard, too; Somnia will have medical care aboard, and there's a great fitness area and a spa, as well.
You'll need a referral or a private invitation, as the ownership list is closely curated and will be tightly guarded. Apartments start at €9.5 million.
