Ilma: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Latest Superyacht Sets a New Standard in Luxury Design

Luxury cruising is being redefined as The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unveils its newest ultra-luxury superyacht, Ilma. Named after the Maltese word for “water,” Ilma is set to debut on 2 September 2024, embarking on a seven-night voyage from Monte Carlo to Rome. Designed with refined sophistication and seamless integration of space, Ilma invites guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the open sea.

A Masterpiece of Design and Craftsmanship

Every detail aboard Ilma has been meticulously crafted to create an unparalleled luxury experience. Renowned London-based AD Associates, award-winning lighting designer DPA, and Helsinki’s Aivan studio have collaborated to produce an elegant, contemporary aesthetic that pays homage to Maltese heritage and coastal landscapes.

The yacht’s interiors feature fresh, neutral tones, rich textures, and warm lighting, mirroring the natural beauty of the sea. The 224 suites, all with private oceanview terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows, capture breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding harbours and seascapes. Every space is designed for serenity and versatility, ensuring guests can customise their surroundings to suit their personal preferences.

Immersive Experiences Onboard

Beyond the stunning interiors, Ilma offers intimate communal areas, inviting guests to connect with like-minded travellers in thoughtfully designed spaces.

• The Marina and Marina Terrace feature large glass windows, allowing guests to admire the ocean while enjoying direct access to the water via a hydraulic platform.
• Deck 10 serves as an open-air hub for entertainment and relaxation, featuring the main pool, pool bar, and a large outdoor LED screen.
• The onboard art collection is curated to ignite curiosity and reflection, further enhancing the yacht’s atmosphere of exclusivity and cultural enrichment.

Exquisite Culinary Offerings

Ilma’s five dining venues and seven bars present an indulgent variety of flavours,

including the introduction of The Beach House. Designed by Chapi Chapo Design, this Peruvian and Pan-Latin-inspired eatery transports guests to a waterfront haven with sweeping 180-degree views.

The Explorer’s Table, an intimate multi-course tasting experience, showcases global culinary highlights from Spain, Korea, France, Argentina, and North America. Limited to ten guests per evening, the tasting menu is carefully paired with premium wines, ensuring a memorable gastronomic journey.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa and Wellness Facilities

For those seeking total relaxation, Ilma’s expanded Ritz-Carlton Spa offers revitalising treatments from 111SKIN and ESPA, now with 11 treatment rooms, including five outdoor options.

Guests can maintain their wellness routines in one of three distinct fitness spaces:
