Inside a billionaire's $60M superyacht with an indoor pool

Daily Mail Online 2024/4/28
For deep-pocketed sailors who aren't content with having just the ocean to swim in, one $60 million superyacht comes with its own indoor pool complete with Greek statues. Leona, which was built by the Turkish-based luxury yacht builder Bilgin, boasts a unique beach club that looks like something from a five-star spa or hotel, with the tiled pool surrounded by marble flooring and marble carved panels on the walls.

One TikTok video, uploaded by luxury real estate expert Enes Yilmazer, takes viewers inside the swanky pool area and he reveals that the design was masterminded by the yacht's billionaire owner, but there is no word on who the mystery buyer is. Another video, shot by the yacht builder Bilgin, offers a more comprehensive tour of the bullet-shaped 263-foot-long yacht, which celebrated its launch in October 2022.

Along with a swimming pool, the owner went about installing various other luxury features with highlights including a fire pit, aquarium, hookah room, piano bar, and plush red-velvet clad cinema room. There is also a 'palatial owner's suite,' which appears in the video, complete with a round bathtub, private interior lounge, and terrace with a spa pool.

'We learned quickly that the client didn't react positively to understated design. 'He required us to be bold and turn up the volume.' While Bilgin made a good spread of the furnishings, the designers also installed many pieces from fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, who is known for his sexy designs and fervent use of animal print.
