Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design planned the living areas around the central staircase, ensuring impeccable flow between each space. The layout is logical and passageways are wider than usual for a yacht of this size to ensure ease of movement for the owner and guests. ASIA has a wealth of amenities, dotted around the vessel ensuring that each space has a distinctive character and purpose.
The spread of function throughout ASIA was a key requirement set by this owner to ensure each area is enjoyed and used at different times of the day and for different purposes. The deck spaces are also nice, open and very free. We liberated more aft deck space by building the exterior staircases into the superstructure.
Natural light played a leading role in ASIA’s design and she’s punctuated by large glass windows that provide exceptional panoramic vistas from the social and living areas onboard. ASIA has a cheerful and playful design. The palette is a crescendo of vibrant and pastel colours, from striking pinks and majestic emeralds to soft turquoise and warm oranges. Detailing is just as diverse with subtle embossed gold leaf and marble inlays to huge cascading glass chandeliers. All light fixtures have been cleverly concealed and integrated throughout.
Accommodation is for 12 guests across six ensuite staterooms, comprising four doubles on the lower deck, which are directly connected to the beach club, one VIP cabin plus an additional cabin for staff on main deck. The owner’s suite is found on a dedicated owner’s deck.
The lower deck is dedicated to guests, health, and rejuvenation. The recessed beach club is a waterside oasis, finished in neutral tones and natural materials. It’s home to a spa, sauna, and massage parlour. There is also a lounge and juice station with commanding seascape views. With hatches at starboard, and aft the beach club can be opened on two sides giving the space plenty of natural light and a gentle flowing breeze when the yacht is anchored.
The beach club is also multipurpose. While it acts as the central health clinic during the day, in the evening, when the vivid underwater lights are switched on, the space transforms into the perfect setting for karaoke nights and intimate gatherings with friends and family.
Four large double-ensuite guest staterooms are connected to the beach club. Guests have direct access to the sea and the wellness facilities onboard. Each stateroom boasts huge windows and outstanding vistas, either port or starboard. The rooms are spacious, with plenty of room to walk around the centerline kingsize beds. Each stateroom features rainfall showers and unique design elements, ensuring individual character while maintaining overall harmony.
Forward on the lower deck is dedicated to the crew. There are eight cabins, and a staircase leads to the mess area, an ample space for her 18 crew members to relax and unwind during their downtime. The crew have easy passage throughout the yacht and can access their quarters via a dedicated staircase. Guests have a large atrium with a central stairwell that has a huge cascading glass feature and a separate elevator.
An additional VIP suite and a large staff stateroom are located on the main deck. Located forward, the suite features a bedroom portside and a private saloon starboard. There is also a delicately finished ensuite with natural wood and crystal-white marble, home to a rainfall shower and a bathtub. The VIP suite is comparable in size and finish to the owner’s apartment.
Aft of the main deck is a large saloon surrounded by wall-to-ceiling windows for unrivalled panoramic views. The saloon combines dark woods, glass accents, and cream furnishings, accented with vibrant cushions and rugs. There is a 12-person dining table that runs perpendicular, a low seating aft for a cosy lounge setting, and a large bar portside. Glass sliding doors seamlessly connect the outdoor seating area.
The owners have a dedicated deck with private outdoor areas forward and aft. There is a large al fresco dining area aft, with seating for up to 12 guests, while the foredeck is much more intimate. It’s directly connected with the owners’ apartment and is home to a Jacuzzi and a small seating area – ideal for early morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
The owners’ apartment itself has a suspended kingsize bed that looks directly out upon 270 degrees of glassing, offering the most outstanding panoramic views from the moment the owners wake up. The ceiling is gorgeously detailed with gold leaf and the apartment is finished in rich mahogany and cream furnishings. There is also a beauty salon, his and her bathrooms, an office and a sky lounge on this deck.
There is an additional outdoor social area on the bridge deck aft with twin elliptical settees and plenty of space to cool off after training and exercising in the gym. Glass sliding doors separate the al fresco lounge from the gym, which has machines and free weights all from TechnoGym. Forward of the bridge deck is the wheelhouse
Built for comfort and efficient cruising
Equipped with a hybrid propulsion system that includes shaft generators and a battery for peak shaving, Asia stands out as one of the most efficient Hakvoorts to date. She has a range of 4,800 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots and can reach speeds exceeding 15 knots. An innovative heat recovery system—now a standard feature on all future Royal Hakvoort superyachts—further underscores her forward-thinking design.
