The Royal Yacht has updated its sophisticated Mooncatcher and Stargazer penthouse suites with a refreshing modern beach-inspired theme.

The deluxe suites now closely follow the hotel's nautical design and feature a new colour palette of soft creams, beiges and blues to reflect the natural colours of the surrounding seaside landscape.

To further invoke the seaside ambience, the suites also include a luxurious custom-designed carpet that simulates drifting sand patterns, a driftwood floor, a large wall-mounted television, which is hidden behind yacht-inspired sliding door panels and relaxing LED ceiling lights.

The penthouse suites have also upgraded the balcony areas, with new loungers and an illuminated green plant wall, which sit alongside a private hot tub.

The new design has been a huge success among the few guests who have so far seen it.

Alcino Vieira, General Manager of The Royal Yacht, said: “We are delighted. The new design offers a fresh take on our luxury hotel experience while reflecting our beachside location. The fresh design builds on the atmosphere of comfort and relaxation, complementing the features of the suites that we have retained, including the hot tubs and sophisticated lighting. We are confident that our guests will appreciate the attention to detail and lavish creature comforts of the upgraded suites.”

The new penthouses are part of a hotel that includes fine dining; a private wine cellar, which can be enjoyed by up to six diners; a luxury spa; and lively bars and a club.
