With on board wellness an increasing priority for superyacht owners, spas on yachts are becoming even more luxurious. We round up ten of the best superyacht spas, including those available for charter.
Guillaume Rolland of Studio Liaigre created a cosy, sauna-like atmosphere for the spa adjacent to a workout room on the lower deck of this Abeking & Rasmussen explorer yacht. At 72.25 metres overall and 2,200GT, Cloudbreak has plenty of room to cater for adventure seekers.

The full banya experience is available to guests arriving on board the 85 metre Lürssen superyacht Areti, which was built for a former Olympic cyclist. Her elegant spa was designed by Winch to welcome athletes and provide them with the best in restorative treatments.
"This isn’t your typical girl spa,” explains studio founder Andrew Winch. “It’s a toning spa for athletes. It had to be designed like an important sports facility and it has its own spa manager.”

Boat International cover star and 2017 ShowBoats Design Awards winner Plvs Vltra features a superyacht spa with a difference. Situated in this 73.5 metre Amels yacht’s amidships beach club, the wellness centre boasts a Jacuzzi, sauna, hammam, massage room and a nail/hair studio. And when you want to freshen up after a relaxing dip in the sea, there’s the choice of an outdoor balcony shower, indoor shower or a bath.
As an explorer yacht designed to take on the world, Legend draws on a wide range of international cultures for her stunning interiors. When it comes to the superyacht spa, it is Bali that provides the inspiration, with intricate stonework, decorative wood carvings and Buddhist statues giving this area a peaceful South East Asian atmosphere.
