Remember that “floating hotel” residential superyacht with condos available from R160 million?

Well, we’re taking a look inside now, imagining what it would be like to be one of the world’s elite who has just bought a permanent spot onboard.

The Somnio, which aptly means “to dream ” in Latin, is an incredible 222-metre vessel with six decks and 39 luxury condos with completely customisable layouts across six floors.

When it launches in 2024, it will be the largest yacht in the world by both length and volume:

Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden, as well as Luttenberger Design, is behind this superyacht, being built by Norwegian ship designer and builder VARD at a cost of around $600 million (that’s around R8,5 billion):

Here’s co-founder Captain Erik Bredhe:

“Beauty may be found as much on the inside of Somnio as it is on the outside. As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards. Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature.”

The condos will range in size from 148 square metres to 600 square metres, per Luxury Columnist, with the biggest Somnio condo taking up most of the top deck.

Each design house has released its first renderings of the superyacht and its “floating apartments”:

The condo owners will have the opportunity to work with either of the superyacht designers for up to three months to choose their room layout and materials (as environmentally responsible as possible), including lighting, artwork, and furniture:

Some features that one can opt for, tailored to their preferences, are parquet flooring, outside dining spaces, stylish chandeliers, and semi-circular beds.

No dream is too big it seems as one can also choose to include a gym, a personal kitchen, a walk-in closet, a library, or an added living room space with a private balcony if they so wish:

The design house will also help to source items such as luxury linens, cutlery and crockery. If an owner has a specific interior decorator that they’d like to work with, they can also bring them in to help.

Besides having a private space completely decked out to one’s needs, there will also be restaurants, bars, cinemas, music halls, an onboard beach club, and a 10 000-bottle capacity wine cellar and tasting room.

World-class medical care will also be provided, as well as a full concierge service for that added ease and luxury.

Besides spending an unimaginable amount on a condo, one can only grab a spot if they’ve been invited or have a referral, after which their identity will remain completely anonymous:

Having a global address will open you up to a life of slow travel sailing to the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, or New York.

How nice.
