Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection unveils interior design of second ship

“With an aesthetic influenced by superyacht design cues, Ilma’s defining feature is its seamless integration of spaces, fostering a profound connection to the sea,” said Nicola Preece, design director at AD Associates, the company behind the ship’s unique design. “A harmonious flow of geometry and texture between the interior and exterior creates a cohesive and tranquil atmosphere.”

Interiors are inspired by elements of Malta’s mythology and coastline, with fresh neutral tones juxtaposed by light and dark finishes. Live entertainment and sunbathing spaces can be found alongside the main pool on the open-air Deck 10, while the Marina terrace on Deck 3 will give way to water sports such as kayaking and paddle boarding.  

For dining, guests can head to the Ochre Room to enjoy seasonal menus, Talaat Nam for south-east Asian dishes, or Minstrel, which specialises in Mediterranean dishes. There’s also the Living Room, which serves coffees by day and cocktails by night, and Peruvian and Pan-Latin cuisine and craft cocktails can be ordered at the Beach House, an indoor-outdoor venue conceptualised by luxury firm Chapi Chapo Designs with 180-degree views of the coast. 

The Ritz-Carlton Spa, a salon and a barber shop will also be available, as well as a fitness studio.
