The best superyacht hot tubs in the world

Aurelia

39 metre Flexplorer Aurelia’s sundeck isn’t referred to in the conventional way, rather, her top deck is affectionately known as “the private Jacuzzi deck”.

The owner wanted it to be a small, exclusive space on top of the boat. “The 130 has a very peculiar layout because they didn’t even want a sundeck – just a small portion open with a Jacuzzi,” said Cantiere delle Marche’s Vasco Buonpensiere. “They created an alcove, a cosy place up there for the two of them, so the crew can’t go there.”

The sundeck aboard this 73 metre Feadship superyacht is the ideal spot for relaxation, and is outfitted more like the interior of a beach house than an outdoor patio. Loungers with optional shading sit aft, while forward is a spa pool with a bar and dining sofa. Designed inside and out by RWD, with space and on board living in mind, Lunasea encapsulates that ‘home away from home’ feeling.

Skat’s standout feature is hard to miss, with the generous Jacuzzi and sun beds sitting forward of the spacious sundeck. Sitting atop this striking vessel, the sundeck draws attention and offers the best seat in the house for watching those sunsets and sunrises. The iconic, military-inspired Lürssen superyacht offers an unexpected calm and clean interior – something you wouldn’t expect from its exterior.

Andiamo

Long considered an essential item on board any proper superyacht, a bubbling spa pool is a sure sign that guests are in for a truly luxurious and relaxing experience. We round up some of the best examples from around the world, starting with the sundeck centrepiece of Andiamo...

This 47.6 metre Baglietto T-Line yacht boasts a sprawling superyacht sundeck that measures 140 square metres, offering chaise longues, armchairs, a bar area, games table and dining table. But the star of the show is undoubtedly the 2,200 litre glass-fronted pool, which is continually fed by a closed-circuit waterfall system that circulates water over a sloped pane of glass connected to the hardtop.

When the owner of Polar Star set about refitting this 63 metre Lürssen explorer yacht at MB92 in 2016, the spa pool was a key priority. Out went the old circular hexagonal tub, to be replaced by a more modern rectangular pool with a glass side that allows the effect of the underwater lighting to be appreciated by guests relaxing nearby.

Ouranos

Most superyacht hot tubs need to be drained when cruising and refilled when moored up, creating inconvenient delays for those looking to take a quick dip. The waiting time is trimmed to just 40 minutes on the 49.6 metre Admiral superyacht Ouranos, whose fast-filling hot tub holds a massive 4,000 litres of water — that's the equivalent of 50 average-sized bath tubs.
