Benetti motor yacht Star of the Sea belongs to Bengt Mortstedt, and it can be found moored alongside the shoreline from this boutique Caribbean resort. Set amid four hectares of lush gardens, this laid-back bolthole is accessible by boat and the hotel's private airline. bequiabeachhotel.com

Lang Walker's private island resort bears the same name as his beloved 58.4 metre sailing yacht, also called Kokomo. Embracing a castaway aesthetic with luxury service, guests at Kokomo will find verdant gardens and swaying palms interspersed with traditional, thatched-roof Fijian villas. kokomoislandfiji.com

Kim Schindelhauer and Aline Matsika, owners of regatta-winning superyacht WinWIn, spent seven years restoring this 18th-century palace in Mallorca, transforming it into the five-star Palacio Can Marqués hotel. There are just 13 suites inside this baroque mansion, including a tower bedroom with 360-degree views across Palma. palaciocanmarques.com

Borgo Santo Pietro, Italy

This 800-year-old building was once a rest house for pilgrims travelling alongside the historic Via Francigena route. Today, the Tuscan retreat still offers respite to weary travellers but in five-star style, functioning as a farm-to-table institution that uses the estate's home-grown products in the spa and Michelin-starred restaurant. All 120 hectares belong to Claus and Jeanette Thottrup, owners of the 41.5-metre schooner Satori. borgonsantopietro.com
