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 which looks like something from a five-star spa or hotel, with the tiled pool surrounded by a 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 the 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 263ft-long yacht, which celebrated its launch in October 2022.

In terms of the interiors, a lavish theme runs throughout, with gold and marble used in abundance
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.

Boat International reveals that the owner’s representative turned to London-based H2 Yacht Design to create a ‘playfully rich and layered interior.’
The company’s design director James Bermudez explained: ‘The interior of Leona uses a bold, opulent palette incorporating a high level of intricate detailing.
‘[There is a] heavy use of decorative finishes and interesting textures: gloss lacquers, backlit onyx, figurative timbers, gold inlays and luxurious textiles are combined throughout.
‘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.
For the captain and crew, Boat International notes that the architects installed ‘well thought-out spaces.’
The superyachting site reveals: ‘Both the captain and first officer have cabins on the bridge deck.
‘In addition to a large crew mess, officers also have access to day rooms on the tank deck.’
After videos of the yacht’s indoor pool emerged, commenters appeared to have mixed feelings about it.
One viewer saw sense in the unique feature, writing: ‘There’s clearly a pool because if it’s raining outside you can swim without getting wet.’
However, another commenter said: ‘What a waste. You’ve got the whole damn ocean. What’s the point?’
