The best superyacht beach clubs in the world

At 85 metres O'Ptasia is certainly spectacular, but there's more to her than sheer size. Her all-weather beach club will impress even the most discerning charter guests, with discreet sliding glass doors that keep the temperature of the beach club cool, even on a hot day. Inside, there's a bar fitted with a juicer for freshly squeezed orange juice and smoothies served to your sunbed, as well as a white marble steam room inspired by Turkish hammams. Plus, O'Ptasia's generous swim platform has a additional section that raises and lowers for easy access to the sea.

With a bright turquoise hull, 77 metre Go certainly stands out from the crowd. Launched in 2018, this flagship from Turquoise Yachts features a 162 metre square beach club that opens on three sides to provide guests direct access to the sea. Inside, there's a onyx bar, 100 inch TV, massage room and steam room. Locating the tender garage amidships allowed for such a vast area, which was a real selling point for the owner.

A refit in 2017 added three metres to the length Amels' 55 metre Harmony, allowing her owners to turn a tired technical store into a luxurious teak-clad beach club. The space is a Scandinavian-feeling haven, complete with a wet bar and massage area, plus hammam, shower and dive store. The new stern gives a grand first impression for those stepping off tenders, with a pair of illuminated staircases sweeping down from the main deck. Plus, a lowerable swim platform with steps that descend into the water lets swimmers take a carefree dive into the sea and climb back on board easily.

CRN's 80 metre Chopi Chopi balances formidable size with custom luxury living. Take, for instance, her massive beach club that starts indoors and flows out to an ample swim platform, creating one huge space that is equally well suited for sunning or evening entertaining. But the beach club on Chopi Chopi is so much more; it's actually the entrance to the superyacht's spa facilities, with a sauna, massage room and hammam all adjoining. Warm up in the sauna, then cool down with a refreshing dip in the sea.

Benetti's 56 metre superyacht Lady Candy benefits from her unusual yet practical layout, which can be seen in her indoor beach club lounge. While the superyacht also has an outdoor space for soaking up rays and taking a dip, the real focal point of her beach club is the part tucked away from the sun. The enclosed aft beach club has comfortable seats, and portholes at the water level to give guests a great view of the passing ocean, while a gym is set to starboard. An indoor stairway connecting the beach club to the deck above allows the space to be used even in inclement weather, and with its own bar, it makes a great party spot when moored up.
