With an almost regal bearing, Alunya’s sweeping silhouette and gleaming white facade create an instant, unforgettable impression. The design team at Benetti has once again demonstrated their exceptionally high standards and quintessential refined taste in this newest model with extraordinary innovations such as the lavish Oasis Deck and commanding presence.
With her striking vertical bow and custom design elements that span across almost 50 palatial meters, Alunya displays an abundance of custom details and design flourishes. The collaboration between Benetti and British firm RWD defines ultimate comfort aboard this luxury yacht and defines prestige as Alunya beckons you to indulge in her sumptuous and innovative interiors that bring about an immersive and exemplary sailing experience.
Alunya conceals immense power beneath her beautiful exterior with over 8,600 horsepower generated by twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 diesel engines that stand ready to propel this stylish and eye-catching vessel across ocean waters at speeds over 17 knots. From stern to bow, this exquisite mega yacht embodies Benetti’s and the new owner’s vision through the inclusion of quality appointments and meticulous details that are molded into every surface and component of this vessel. However, Alunya is not given to unnecessary details or frivolous adornments; rather, her sleek and functional design has been created around an aesthetic of harmony and order to create generous spaces for living and enjoyment.
As you step aboard, Alunya hints quietly at numerous possibilities and defines a relaxed life on the sea while exuding a harmonious integration with nature. An exquisite exterior profile conceals immense capabilities, and Alunya’s gleaming paint scheme is nothing short of mouthwatering. Her sporty and sleek design belies her speed and power, and the innovative hull created in partnership with P.L.A.N.A. Design boasts elongated deck lines, suggesting forceful capability ready to be unleashed on command. Flowing curves point towards the hull, and sweeping bands created by the superstructure’s three decks create an authoritative elegance on the water.
Accent lights artfully integrated atop the shining hand rails cast a warm glow across light, warm decking, complementing the lights that flood from the wide, expansive windows. The main salon is designed with clean and elegant simplicity. Purpose and functionality are the guiding principles, and the main deck salon is the beating heart of hospitality aboard. This generous and well-lit space masterfully intertwines indoor and outdoor luxury without excessive noise or fuss. Two facing sofas upholstered in buttery leather encircle polished low tables by Paolo Castelli, inviting sustained conversation or quiet reflection, while a casual dining area with contoured chairs by Minotti and Cassina is highlighted by an illuminated bulkhead bar area, ideal for casual meals and conviviality. Curly maple wood walls and dark Ziricote accents add a luxurious touch to this space with black and gold accents.
Enormous windows present panoramic sea vistas along port and starboard sides, infusing the main lounge with abundant natural light. When dusk darkens the ocean skies, accent lighting craftily integrated above and behind crown molding warms the space with inviting luminance. A sweeping stairway connects the yacht’s main level to other decks, and the main lounge’s doors unfold to instantly bring the aft deck’s comforts into the center stage. Plush couches rest atop a gleaming platform and converge around a cocktail table, inviting lounging beneath the sunset’s vibrant hues, and for refreshing cocktails or quick bites, an outdoor wet bar is fully equipped and stands conveniently just a few paces away to provide instant refreshment.
Alunya’s main deck areas masterfully marry high design with peerless hosting capabilities, and one of the most eye-catching features of Alunya is the revolutionary Ocean Deck. In an innovative stroke, the beach club area has been redesigned with a masterstroke of engineering. Large dual wings open out on each side of the generous platform and increase the beach club space substantially. As if this wasn’t enough, the beach club is adorned with a sparkling, built-in pool to enjoy swimming, exercising, and playing. For guests, beautiful views abound, with a 270-degree field of view for stunning ocean vistas, and the entire deck has been transformed into a spacious and convivial oasis. Alunya’s gleaming swim platform sports a welcoming and wide-open floorplan that lowers hydraulically to launch water toys or enable casual dips. An adjacent settee nestled just above the waterline beckons with thick cushions and flowing curves, and there are ample loungers for enjoying outdoor warmth and sunbathing. Floor lighting integrated into each transom step casts a soft glow across the swim area when darkness falls, extending hours of enjoyment well into the evening.
