Elie Saab is developing the Caribbean’s first luxury branded villas in partnership with Classique Realty. Nestled within the scenic residence of Indigo Bay, these properties will perch above the Caribbean Sea, capturing the beauty and culture of Sint Maarten. The infinity villas will line the coastline, featuring Elie Saab Maison interiors, creating the ultimate luxury retreat. The Lebanese designer, renowned worldwide for his haute couture creations, expanded his craftsmanship into interior design with his first project unveiled in 2019. Saab’s property portfolio radiates timeless sophistication, with each residence in a class of its own when it comes to luxury living. Designed to embody Elie Saab’s signature DNA, the properties will redefine the luxury development sector, seamlessly blending contemporary architecture with modern living. The villas offer breathtaking coastal views and bespoke finishing touches throughout. As they are still under construction, pricing is yet to be determined. Saab’s most recent completion of villas in Marbella, currently listed at €8.3 million, offers stunning views of the Spanish coastline in a highly sought-after location. Architectural Excellence Fusing first-class fashion design with the excellence of Classique Realty’s development, the collaboration is set to bring a new level of experience to the Saab luxury lifestyle. The properties will be constructed amidst the exclusive retreat of Indigo Bay, in a central yet secluded area, offering future occupants the best of the island while creating a feeling of serenity within their homes. The villas showcase a modern, minimalist design, embracing the island’s beauty. Constructed with high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship, open-plan living and expansive terraces integrate indoor and outdoor environments seamlessly, capturing the bay’s lush gardens and azure waters. Every aspect of each villa has been elevated to immerse homeowners into an oasis of pure exclusivity. Island Living in Saab Style Both four- and five-bedroom villas will be available across Highline and Frontline lots, including two-car garages and 24/7 concierge access, enhancing convenience and comfort. Additionally, residents will enjoy coastal views from their private infinity pool. Each villa will also feature a private glass elevator, representing the epitome of luxury living. The interior design is even more remarkable. In true Saab style, a couture service will be offered to complete each villa. Courtesy of Elie Saab Maison, homeowners can choose from a selection of meticulously curated mood boards to finish furnishing their living, kitchen, and bedroom spaces, ensuring the villas are tailor-made to each buyer’s desires. Elie Saab’s blend of fashion and property showcases some of the most unique and contemporary designs in real estate. The latest project unveiled by the Maison is no exception. The Infinity Villas infuse elegance with island living and offer a bespoke service unlike any other property.

For one reason or another, I’ve found myself in Amsterdam far more often than I ever imagined. It’s not that I don’t like art, history, canals, tulips, and stroopwafels, it’s just that I came to associate Amsterdam primarily only with legal prostitution and weed. I blame pop culture and the way the city is typically talked and written about for conditioning me to think of Amsterdam as some kind of distorted Disneyland for a certain type of young adult. I’d never been interested in girls in windows or pot as a young man and at 48, I’m still not partaking in those particular pleasures. Yet I’ve come to adore this city for short stays because there’s a bevy of luxurious places to stay and fascinating things to see and do. The College Hotel (Marriott Autograph Collection) Nestled into a stately old school house dating back to the late 1800s, this Autograph Collection Marriott property features less than four dozen guest rooms, each uniquely designed, shaped (high ceiling on the 1st floor, dramatic wood beamed ceilings on the 2nd) and outfitted with remnants of those ancient educational days. There are hidden pencils, copybooks, and more inside each room, and maths equations (thankfully solved or you might never find your room after a few glasses of wine at night) making up the room numbers on the outside beside each door. This property is my top choice for a luxurious Amsterdam stay that, surprisingly, won’t break the bank. This is because it’s situated just outside the tourist ring of canals, but conveniently on the Number 2 tram line (with a stop a stone’s through from the front door) which placed me at the door of the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Moco modern art museum, and the Diamant (Diamond) Museum — in short, Amsterdam’s prestigious Museum Quarter. The College Hotel looks beautiful inside and out. At check-in, I was presented with a range of scents, each named something vaguely academic-related. I chose “The Dean” and later that evening, and again on each night of my stay, my room (the spacious room 115, complete with double rain shower heads in the bathroom), was misted with a musky, elegant scent that reminded me of my father, who wore Jovan Musk cologne for much of my childhood. I lost him in the summer of 2020, but in an aromatic sense, he was there with me in The Netherlands. It’s a small touch, as is the nightly turndown with slippers placed on the floor bedside, with a folded bathrobe, mini stroopwafels, and box of spring water on the bed itself. It’s all so undeniably unique and sensory-pleasing to return to each day after exploring museums, flower markets, football matches, doing some boutique shopping, or having dinner at Mondi, The College Hotel’s in-house, upscale Caribbean restaurant, or at any number of fine dining spots in the neighbourhood. That last word isn’t a cheap throwaway because The College Hotel is located where Amsterdammers actually reside, which made my stay feel more authentic and gave me memories of a real place more than spots in a tourist guidebook. Private Canal Cruise There are no shortage of canal cruises on offer in Amsterdam. Each will provide visitors with the chance to calmly careen atop some of the city's 165 canals, under many of its 1,200 bridges, and maybe enjoy a can of soda or bag of crisps along the way. But I had a far, far more luxurious experience on those legendary Dutch waterways! If you plan ahead and have the means, you too can and honestly, should try to charter a private canal boat with Stromma and enjoy a romantic meal during an exclusive and thoroughly private canal cruise. You’ll taste local specialties like gouda cheese and bitterballen, sip fine wines, and be still and quiet with the entire deck of a boat to yourself and/or your partner, or together with family, friends, or a group. Premium Seats to an Ajax Football match One of the most historically important occurs every fortnight at the Johan Cruyff Arena, a short ride away from the city center, and can be had as a luxury football experience allowing you to soak up the atmosphere in style. Book an Ajax hospitality package for premium leather seats situated perfectly above the pitch, right at center circle, an Ajax scarf, and the chance to witness the continuation of this traditionally grand club battles during Eredivisie matches or on special European nights when this legendary clubs hosts teams from the U.K. and around the continent. I was in the arena for a 4-0 demolition of Turkish club Beşiktaş and it was one of the most remarkable nights I’ve spent at a football ground (and I’ve seen over 100 matches in over 15 countries). Best of Rijksmuseum Private Tour Available in English and International Sign Language, a private one-hour tour of the massive and massively impressive Rijksmusuem will not only get up close and personal with a slew of Rembrandts, including The Night Watch, the master painter's most famous and enormous work currently undergoing a staggering renovation being performed live inside a specially designed glass viewing box for all to see every day, but the guide will help you understand the cultural, historical, and artistic significance of all the artwork, too. Wander the Jordaan District Located a stone's throw from Amsterdam Centraal Station is a quaint, charming neighborhood that’s lined with boutique shops, adorable little cafes, art galleries, homes dating back to the 17th century, and secret courtyard gardens. The city can sometimes be full on, so a tiny detour to Jordaan can help those with crowd anxiety unwind while still being in the heart of it all. A stroll here occurs at a slower pace than in the rest of Amsterdam and offers visitors the chance to exhale and be more present. Luxury Shopping on 9 Streets If shopping is your way to unwind and to fully experience a city, retail therapy is waiting for you in De Negen Straatjes (the 9 streets). You'll find a slew of independent shops ranging from designer boutiques to vintage stores that sell retro bags, coveted shades, fine art, and just about every other thing you can imagine. Jazz at Bimhuis For a half-century, locals and tourists have been pouring into this delightfully intimate room in a stunning black box on the water to hear some of the finest jazz musicians perform nightly. As nightcaps go, after dinner or a fancy French feast at Brasserie Margaux or a sidewalk Italian dinner of pasta and seafood at Ferilli's Caffè Ristorante — two gems in the Amsterdam Qud-Zuid neighborhood, an evening at Bimhuis literally sounds like the most laid back and luxurious idea in the whole of The Netherlands. Luxury Spa and Turkish Hammam at Corendon New-West’s Vitality Spa There’s a one-of-a-kind suite at this hotel in the ‘Shoreditch’ of Amsterdam, a burgeoning and diverse neighborhood west of the city centre that I’ll get to in a moment, but first I want to focus on the luxurious Vitality spa , the largest in Amsterdam, that sits underneath the stunningly designed hotel lobby and their more lively, colorful, and casual version of Mondi (the Caribbean restaurant in The College Hotel). Not only is there an endless pool for swimming laps in a small space, but also a sandy room with sunlight lamps, loungers, and a gigantic ocean mural to mimic beach time, and a genuine Turkish Hammam that has ladies-only afternoons every Monday-Wednesday so that Muslim women can disrobe and relax in private and in peace. On the 7th floor, in room 737, in the Cockpit Suite, a huge 120 square meter room split down the middle, between the bedroom and bathroom and the living room and dining room, by the front third of an actual decommissioned 737 airplane. You, your partner, and kids can climb around inside the cockpit, which is still furnished with comfortable faux fur seat liners the pilots once used, turn knobs, touch buttons, and play pretend, and sit in the first three rows of seats — maybe take your breakfast on a tray like in-flight meal service, only far, far better tasting. This is one of the most luxurious, playful, and amazing hotel rooms in the world, and it’s way less expensive than you would guess. The Katten Kabinet Set over two floors of a centuries-old stately home, and a bucolic outdoor courtyard, the Katten Kabinet is a museum dedicated solely to cats, humans’ most luxurious companion. You'll see art, marketing materials like movie posters, photographs of famous people like Hemingway with their cats, and more art and artefacts featuring or about kitties. Plus, you'll see real cats roaming around too. It's a delightfully relaxing place for cat lovers that I featured in my forthcoming book, Street Cats and Where to Find Them (Running Press, August 2025).  See, you can and should spend a few days in Amsterdam enjoying the finer things without once indulging in the temptations that have admittedly made it world-famous to a new generation of travelers.

Natural Sanctuary: Bringing the Outdoors In DUSK’s collection embraces earthy tones and natural materials, evoking the tranquillity of nature. Soft greens, browns, and greys combine with materials like linen and wood to create soothing, biophilic spaces.

Demonstrating its expertise in blending design, function, and personality, Neptune has carefully crafted a Henley kitchen for Glebe House owners, chef Hugo Guest, and his artist wife, Olive Guest. Their new kitchen, located in a recently converted outbuilding on their East Devon estate, is a true reflection of the couple's shared passions for cooking and creating a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere through thoughtful design. Glebe House, originally a Georgian vicarage, has been in Hugo's family for generations. After taking over from his parents, Olive and Hugo transformed the property into a seven-bedroom guesthouse and restaurant. Since opening in 2021, it has drawn visitors with its idyllic setting, farm-to-table dining, and eclectic interiors. The couple’s signature style—rich, homely, and brimming with colour—carries over into their newly renovated home, where Neptune has played a crucial role in bringing their vision to life. The kitchen is at the heart of this renovation project, showcasing Neptune’s Henley Kitchen design, selected for its timeless appeal and versatility. Olive and Hugo opted for a combination of solid white oak base cabinetry with a natural finish, and wall cabinetry painted in Neptune’s Burnt Sienna. The centrepiece of the kitchen is the large island, finished in Neptune’s striking Burnham Red, reflecting the warm, eclectic palette that defines the Glebe House guesthouse. The couple’s burgundy Everhot cooker further enhances this lively aesthetic. The Henley kitchen is known not only for its visual appeal but also for its clever functional design. Features like a single-door larder and wide, deep drawer storage offer ample space, catering to Hugo's practical needs as a chef. The worktops are a mix of Polished Breccia Sarda granite, provided by Anything Stone, and a full-stave oak surface on the island, giving the space a balanced organic feel. Brass knobs and taps lend a timeless look, while the room’s panelling and Neptune’s Cactus shade on the window frames add a relaxed warmth and harmony to the space. Incorporating an open-plan layout, the kitchen seamlessly flows into the adjacent living area. Neptune’s Pembroke shelving in Moss Green is used to create a functional yet stylish home library and entertainment centre. The utility cloakroom, located just off the dining room, features Neptune’s Chichester cabinet, elegantly concealing the washing machine. Olive’s artistic touch is evident in the design of a curtain that finishes the Chichester sink cabinet, cohesively tying the spaces together. Reflecting on the project, Olive Guest shared, “Just as with the guesthouse, from the outset I had a clear idea of how I wanted our new family kitchen to look and feel. As an artist, the use of colour, tone, and texture in a space is incredibly important to me, and of course, functionality is crucial for Hugo. Working with Neptune to bring this to life was a natural fit. Their dedication to craftsmanship and style, combined with the broad palette of materials and colours to choose from, was ideal. It was all completely seamless, and the stunning results have gone far beyond our expectations – we feel very house proud.” Claire Birkbeck, Senior Kitchen And Interior Designer at Neptune and Lead Designer on this project revealed, "The Glebe House kitchen project was a great opportunity to explore both traditional craftsmanship and modern functionality. The kitchen design combines natural wood, earthy colours, and a rustic, warm atmosphere. The Henley’s natural white oak paired with the earthy Burnt Sienna on the cabinets and Burnham Red on the island contribute to a welcoming, character-filled space that ties in with the surrounding countryside. It’s a perfect example of how thoughtful design can bring warmth, character, and practicality together.” The collaboration between Neptune and Glebe House has resulted in a family kitchen that embodies the Guests' love of creativity, food, and design, making it not just a place to cook but a welcoming space for family life and gatherings. https://www.neptune.com/

London’s oldest auction house, Sotheby’s, is heading to Geneva for its bi-annual luxury week. Showcasing a selection of the most 'unique and exceptional' pieces from its luxury division, Sotheby’s is set to present its first dedicated sale of Royal and Noble Jewels on 13th November. This auction follows the firm's highly successful single-owner sale, ‘Vienna 1900: An Imperial and Royal Collection’, and will feature some of the rarest jewels from the 19th and 20th centuries. Available exclusively at the Geneva auction, prices are estimated to range from 5,500 CHF to 2.2 million CHF. Sotheby’s, with over 280 years of auction history, has witnessed record-breaking sales, including two precious gemstones fetching $38.4 million during the Magnificent Jewels sale at its 2023 luxury week in New York City. The Royal and Noble Jewels on offer boast royal and aristocratic provenance, with the first sale featuring Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria’s collection of over 100 pieces. This treasury of single-owner jewels, unseen publicly for almost a century, will be brought to auction by Sotheby’s for the first time. The 114 lots on offer are a testament to what Sotheby’s describes as "Tsar Ferdinand’s exquisite taste," with pieces passed down through generations of the Royal Bulgarian family. The collection includes coloured diamond tie pins, gemstone bracelets, and a diamond bandeau created for the Princess Consort of Bulgaria. Phillip Württemburg Art Advisory GmbH, a vendor Sotheby’s worked with to bring the collection to auction, describes the set of jewels as an "intimate ensemble." They also confirmed the pieces have never left the family, offering historical jewellery enthusiasts and collectors a rare opportunity to become the second owners of these royal treasures. This event will mark a historic moment for Sotheby’s, with previously inaccessible pieces now available to the public ahead of the auction on 13th November. Leading the sale is an 18th-century 300-carat diamond necklace, estimated to sell for up to 2,200,000 CHF. Sotheby’s describes this masterpiece as a “rare, historic, and highly important jewel.” The necklace was displayed in London’s Ageless Diamond Loan exhibition in 1959, alongside diamonds belonging to Queen Elizabeth II, and later featured in the American Museum of Natural History due to its royal heritage. This Georgian necklace, formerly in the collection of the Marquesses of Anglesey, is said to have ties to Queen Marie Antoinette of France. Its circular-cut diamonds and cushion-shaped tassels make it stand apart, reflected in its exclusive price tag. Sotheby’s Royal and Noble Jewel auction will also feature other illustrious pieces, including an emerald and diamond-cut ring circa 1890 and a stunning Fabergé diamond brooch with Russian provenance. A full list of the jewels and their heritage can be viewed online. For those seeking a closer look, highlights from the collection will be on tour from 18th October, stopping in luxurious cities such as New York and Dubai before reaching Geneva ahead of the auction.

Prospective buyers can bid in advance, via telephone, online, or in person, for a chance to own a piece of this extraordinary collection.

I’m going to be honest—when I first heard about Masseter Botox, I was intrigued but also pretty terrified. The thought of needles anywhere near my jaw made me sweat a little. But after years of suffering from teeth grinding (bruxism), something had to give. I’d already broken through several retainers from clenching my jaw so hard at night, essentially making my years of braces feel pointless. I was waking up constantly with a sore jaw and headaches that lasted all day. No night guard or mouthpiece could save me, so when I found out about Karidis Clinic and their reputation for Botox, I took a deep breath and decided to go for it. First Impressions: From Fear to Reassurance Walking into Karidis Clinic, I was still nervous, but the atmosphere immediately put me at ease. It’s hard to describe, but the place just feels  calm—like you’re in the right hands. The staff greeted me warmly, and before I knew it, I was in my consultation. My practitioner, Stevie, was incredibly reassuring, explaining exactly how Botox injections into the masseter muscles would help relax my jaw and put an end to my teeth grinding. When they told me my masseter muscles had become so strong from years of grinding that they were contributing to my face looking more square, I wasn’t surprised. It was like my body was screaming out for help, and I hadn’t listened. I couldn’t believe that Botox, something I always associated with smoothing wrinkles, could actually relieve this pain—and even help slim my face in the process. That part was an unexpected bonus, but first and foremost, I just wanted to stop breaking retainers and finally sleep through the night. The Procedure: Conquering My Fear of Needles Now, here’s where I faced my biggest challenge: the needles. I’m not going to lie—I was nervous. But I’ve never felt more reassured than in that treatment room. The practitioner explained each step of the process, keeping everything calm and lighthearted, which helped me relax a bit. The injections were tiny, and honestly, I barely felt them. It was over so fast that I almost laughed at how much I’d built it up in my head. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes, tops. I was in and out before I had time to overthink anything, and I didn’t even need to hide my face afterwards—there was no real downtime. The Results: Sweet Relief (and an Unexpected Bonus!) The results took a couple of weeks to really kick in, but wow, when they did, I could barely believe it. I stopped waking up in the middle of the night with that sharp jaw pain. My headaches disappeared, and for the first time in years, I was actually getting restful sleep. Honestly, I don’t know how I lived like that for so long—my energy levels, my mood, everything improved. But here’s the kicker—my face actually  started to look different. As the masseter muscles relaxed, my jawline softened, and my face appeared noticeably slimmer. I wasn’t expecting such a dramatic change in my appearance, but let me tell you, it was a welcome surprise. All those years of tension had made my face look bulkier than I realized, and the slimming effect was just an added confidence boost. The Top-Up: Even Strong Jaw Muscles Need a Little Extra Love After about two months, I went back for a follow-up. My masseter muscles were especially strong from all those years of grinding, so the practitioner recommended a top-up treatment. Thankfully, this was included in the original fee—no surprise extra costs (which I loved). The top-up helped fully relax my muscles, and the care I received at Karidis Clinic never wavered. They made sure I got the best possible result and didn’t treat me like just another appointment on the schedule. Why Karidis Clinic Was the Best Choice for Me Now, months after the treatment, I’m still feeling the benefits. My jaw pain is gone, I’m no longer grinding my teeth to the point of destruction, and my face looks more defined than ever. But more than the physical changes, it’s the relief from years of discomfort that’s been the biggest life-changer. I wish I’d known about Masseter Botox sooner—it would have saved me a lot of broken retainers and sleepless nights! If you’re like me and absolutely hate needles (but hate pain even more), trust me when I say Karidis Clinic will make the whole process feel effortless. They genuinely care about your comfort and the outcome. Whether you’re looking to relieve the pain from teeth grinding or just want to explore the face-slimming benefits, masseter Botox at Karidis Clinic is worth every moment of anxiety I felt. It’s been a true game-changer for me, and I can’t thank the team enough for helping me finally get the restful nights—and the face shape—I never knew I needed!

The name "James Bond" conjures up more than just thrilling action sequences and high-stakes espionage—it's synonymous with timeless style. From the first film Dr. No to the latest No Time To Die, the Bond franchise has set a high standard for cinematic fashion, captivating audiences for over six decades. Costume designer Lindy Hemming, who worked on five of the series’ films, perhaps captured it best when she said, "I don’t know any other film series that has created such a definitive style for its main character—one that’s captivated audiences for over sixty years.” Now, fans and fashion enthusiasts alike can dive into the world of 007’s wardrobe with James Bond Style, a comprehensive new book that explores the fashion legacy of the iconic film series. Written by Hemming herself, this visual anthology takes readers on a sartorial journey through all twenty-five Bond films, covering not only the wardrobe of the famous spy but also the stylish looks of his adversaries, love interests, and colleagues. With text and captions penned by Hemming, an introduction from Dylan Jones OBE, editor-in-chief of the London Evening Standard, and contributions from renowned fashion designers and actors, the book stands as a definitive celebration of Bond’s inimitable style. The Timeless Wardrobe of 007 The book organizes its chapters chronologically, corresponding to each Bond actor—Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig—offering an insightful look at how the style of Bond evolved through the decades. From Connery’s classic tuxedos in Dr. No to Craig’s sleek modern ensembles in Casino Royale and No Time To Die, the book highlights the most iconic outfits worn by each iteration of the superspy. Readers are treated to behind-the-scenes stories and fashion insights from the costume designers and fashion houses involved in crafting these looks. For instance, thirty-three custom-made Tom Ford tuxedos were created for Daniel Craig in No Time To Die to accommodate the rigours of filming. The scale of the production behind Bond’s wardrobe is nothing short of impressive: for Quantum of Solace, Prada fabricated twenty versions of a single dress for actress Olga Kurylenko, one for each stage of the film’s action, from pristine to completely destroyed. Memorable Moments in Bond Fashion James Bond Style also delves into some of the most memorable fashion moments in cinematic history. From Ursula Andress’ iconic white bikini scene in Dr. No, which has since become an unforgettable pop culture moment, to Halle Berry’s homage to that look in her orange La Perla bathing suit in Die Another Day, the book explores these timeless scenes in vivid detail. Daniel Craig’s unexpected viral moment in Casino Royale, where he emerges from the water in La Perla trunks—one of which later sold for £44,450 at auction—also takes centre stage. The inclusion of never-before-seen sketches, detailed fashion breakdowns, and commentary from the likes of Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, and Jenny Packham enhances the book’s comprehensive approach to understanding the immense work that goes into creating Bond’s polished image. It showcases the meticulous craftsmanship required to bring 007’s world to life, both on screen and in the imagination of audiences. A Fashion Legacy, Captured Like Never Before While James Bond’s missions often involve saving the world, James Bond Style reveals that he’s also an enduring symbol of impeccable fashion. With 232 illustrations spread across 336 pages, this beautifully crafted volume—dubbed the ultimate Bond style bible—offers readers an unparalleled look into the artistry behind one of cinema’s most stylish franchises. In addition to the costumes themselves, James Bond Style pays tribute to the talents who brought them to life. Hemming’s text is full of personal anecdotes from her time on the Bond sets, giving readers an insider’s view of the thought process behind some of the most iconic outfits in film history. Hemming is no stranger to the world of high-stakes costume design, having earned an Academy Award for Topsy-Turvy and garnered acclaim for her work on Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman. For any fan of James Bond, fashion, or cinema history, James Bond Style is a treasure trove of visual splendour and insightful narrative. Whether you're fascinated by the character’s sharp suits, the glamorous gowns of his love interests, or the bold fashion choices of his nemeses, this book captures it all. With its release in October 2024, this elegant tome will make a perfect addition to the bookshelf of any film or fashion enthusiast. Its meticulous attention to detail and behind-the-scenes stories ensure that no other book has chronicled the sartorial evolution of James Bond as comprehensively as this one.

On 8th October 2024, Sanlorenzo, the Italian maestros of yacht and superyacht design, unveiled two new models in the UK: the SL86A and SP92. These yachts, which first made waves at the Cannes Yacht Show 2024, showcase Sanlorenzo’s dedication to innovation and sustainability. With sizes slightly smaller than their predecessors, both models promise expansive, fully customisable interiors that offer yacht owners complete creative freedom. Nick Hatfield, Sales Manager at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK, highlights the growing demand for personalised yachts in the UK. "The new models showcase artisanal craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and space-enhancing design," Hatfield says. These attributes reflect the desires of today’s discerning yacht owner, combining style with functionality. SL86A: A Masterpiece of Asymmetry The SL86A, developed in partnership with Studio Zuccon International Project, redefines space on board by eliminating one of the two external walkways. This allows for an expanded living area on the main deck, where entertaining and relaxation take centre stage. The deck layout can also be adapted for additional uses such as a cinema or playroom, a feature unique to this size category. From floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic sea views to the seamless integration of outdoor sunbathing areas, the SL86A is designed to immerse passengers in the beauty of the open water. Interior materials like untreated wood, marble, and natural fabrics bring a sense of transparency and lightness, ensuring elegance at every corner. Sustainability is key, as Sanlorenzo integrates recycled and recyclable materials into the yacht’s construction while a hydrodynamic hull optimises fuel consumption. SP92: A Sporty, Sustainable Powerhouse The SP92 builds on Sanlorenzo’s Smart Performance line, featuring a design optimised for efficiency and sustainability. The yacht’s high-performance monocrystalline photovoltaic system and specially engineered hull reduce its environmental footprint, consuming up to 13% less fuel than conventional designs. The SP92 blends sportiness and luxury, boasting sleek lines and expansive customisable spaces, including a 45-square-metre beach area. Inside, the SP92 offers four levels of living space, including a full-beam owner’s cabin and an optional fourth cabin that can double as a playroom or cinema. The yacht also provides waterjet propulsion, delivering 4,000 horsepower for those seeking speed and power on the seas. Sanlorenzo’s Vision for the Future Founded in 1958, Sanlorenzo continues to lead the luxury yacht market by combining traditional craftsmanship with technological innovation. The shipyard’s forward-thinking approach is evident in its commitment to sustainability, with a “Road to 2030” strategy that focuses on reducing emissions through green technologies and hybrid propulsion systems. By 2027, the shipyard plans to launch a superyacht powered by 80% green methanol, aligning with the EU’s Fit for 55 agenda. Sanlorenzo’s new SL86A and SP92 models not only offer unparalleled luxury but also underscore the shipyard’s mission to shape the future of eco-friendly yachting.
