THIS is a peek inside the "floating hotel" superyacht decked out with a Gladiator-style assault course that you can charter for $1 million a week. Malia is the 255ft flashy floater that boasts dozens of opulent features including a fully-kitted out spa and beach club. Inside the luxe spa is a glass-edged infinity pool, a glass-bottomed Jacuzzi, a sauna room and even a traditional Turkish Hammam.
Up to twelve can sleep in its eight luxurious cabins complete with dressing rooms and ensuites, and there's even a master VIP suite. The main deck saloon features a bar and dining area illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows - and there's even an outdoor cinema. And when they don't fancy a massage, guests can get stuck into extreme sportfishing on Malia’s 46ft extreme sportfishing tender.
The upper deck lounge is fit for a king with its striking glass chandelier and extensive audio-visual system. Its fun knows no bounds as guests can even find themselves in a Gladiator-style assault course with Malia's impressive water features. The boat is equipped with an inflatable climbing frame, inflatable bouncer, inflatable walkway and even a water carpet.
Malia also features a snazzy lift to transport guests from lower accommodation deck to bridge deck. The massive superyacht was sold for a hefty $120 million in 2023 and owned by US yacht dealers Northrop and Johnson. Its millionaire guests get to venture everywhere from the Italian Riviera, to Monaco, Saint-Tropez and more.
Sacha Williams, global charter marketing director at Northrop & Johnson said: "The bedrooms are comparable to hotel rooms. "You don’t feel like you’re on a yacht. It’s like you’re in a floating hotel.
"On a yacht this size, it’s increasingly popular to have a Hammam, steam room or sauna. "Wellness is definitely a strong trend on all yachts now. The onboard spa therapist does all manner of treatments.
You could spend an entire day in that space." Crew aboard the gigantic vessel can also take guests up to six feet underwater in a shark-shaped submersible. Malia holds plenty of sea toys including jet and water skis, paddleboards, kayaks and more.
This comes after Sun readers caught a glimpse into the apartments going on the "floating millionaire's row". The invite-only luxury superyacht Somnio is lined with 39 apartments where rooms start from a whopping £8.1 million.
Apartments on the coveted ship will range in size from 1,959sqft to 10,365sqft, complete with private decks or terraces. The ship will be a magnificent 728ft in length - making it both the largest and longest yacht in the world. But that's not all - Eternal Spark is a real showpiece in the world of vessels and is often dubbed a "floating holiday resort".
Its lavish entertainment areas can now be rented out for a fun weekend - only if you can afford it. The incredibly opulent party yacht boasts a sleek, sporty, and elegant exterior design and it's now available for charter for the 2024 season..
