Mega Yacht Eclipse

Mega Yacht Eclipse 

Motor yacht Eclipse, currently under construction at the Blohm + Voss Hamburg shipyard, features interiors by Terence Disdale Design and is set to become the world’s largest superyacht when she is officially delivered in 2010; if rumours are correct.

At a supposed length between 162 and 170 metres, Eclipse’s unprecedented size has ensured her construction has been shrouded in secrecy, and as such, subject to much rumour and speculation from both the international press and super yacht enthusiasts.

Although confirmed details of the luxury megayacht are being extremely well hidden, it is known her interiors feature design by the renowned London-based team at Terence Disdale Design.

Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich is the rumoured owner of the giant yacht that is believed to accommodate 30 guests in 15 cabins and also cater for a staggering 75 crew members.

Amongst the armada of lavish extras thought to be onboard are a three-man leisure submarine, and a 16-metre swimming pool with an adjustable depth feature that allows it to be converted into a dance floor. 

An exterior fireplace, six tenders, and accommodation for three helicopters are also amongst the amenities alleged to be found onboard.

The construction of this megayacht began for Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei more than 10 years before the yacht’s launch. The construction, then a joint project between Blohm + Voss and Lurssen shipyards, was halted until 2001 when the hull was acquired by Platinum Yachts for His Highness Sheik Mohammed Rashid al-Maktoum. The project, previously named Platinum, Panhandle and Golden Star, was re-named Dubai.

Dubai’s luxurious interior design blends bold colours with fine fabrics and intricately detailed handmade mosaics. A spectacular staircase creates Dubai’s showpiece.

Dubai’s spacious decks offer a split-level owner’s deck; a large social area including the main lounge with its centrepiece red sofa; numerous VIP and guest suites, and a crew area to accommodate 115 people including crew and guest staff.

The world’s largest diamond

Digg Digg

Another large diamond has been found at the Letseng mine in Lesotho, a small kingdom in South Africa.

The stone weighs 478 carats and is the 20th largest rough diamond ever found and it may become the largest ever polished round diamond.

Another similar sized rough stone from the same mine was recently valued at $12million. But the clarity and round shape of the new gem mean it could be worth considerably more and in its polished state could sell for tens of millions of dollars.

A spokesman for Gem Diamonds, who own the mine, added that initial examination suggested that the white diamond, which has yet to be named and valued, has a completely flawless centre.

It is estimated to be capable of producing a 150 carat polished gem stone, dwarfing the Koh-i-Noor diamond which is part of the Crown Jewels. Via BBC/dailymail

London’s Savoy

Digg Digg

Luxury hotel chain Fairmont has released more details about what will be on offer at London’s The Savoy hotel. The Fairmont says that the hotel will “reclaim its position as one of the world’s great hotels"

New highlights include nine “Personality Suites” which pay tribute to the well known figures that have stayed in the hotel such as Maria Callas, Charlie Chaplin, Frank Sinatra and Marlene Dietrich. The suites contain artwork, literature, photographs and artifacts that evoke the time and spirit of the stars including the 12 pink roses in the Marlene Dietrich Suite that the actress always requested upon arrival.

The 350-square-foot Royal Suite, the most luxurious in the property, features two bedrooms, a study, sitting room, dining room, master bathroom and a dressing room with a specially ventilated shoe closet, all with views of the city. The hotel’s historic River Restaurant and American bar will return, along with the Gordon-Ramsay operated Savoy Grill and the new Beaufort Bar and Savoy Tea.

Guests will be able to enjoy the services of a “Green Butler,” Fairmont said October 6, providing guests with advice on “all things green” in London. This innovation is in line with the new eco-friendly features introduced by the hotel, which include systems that reclaim kitchen heat to provide hot water, recycling processes to turn cooking oil into biofuels, a waste management system to recycle up to 90 percent of waste from the property and a combined heat and power plant to reduce energy consumption.

The Savoy is one of the most-high profile properties in London, but it will face increased competition over the coming years from other luxury hotels.

11-year-old spends $44 million in Dubai

11-year-old spends $44 million in Dubai

Digg Digg

 In just two weeks early last year, an 11-year-old boy from Azerbaijan became the owner of nine waterfront mansions in Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah. His name is Heydar Aliyev. That also happens to be the name of the son of Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev.

Furthermore, Dubai records show the purchaser’s date of birth to be the same as that of the president’s son.

The Washington Post newspaper reported that they were bought in a two-week shopping spree last year for about $44 million – 10,000 times the average annual salary in Azerbaijan.

Two more Aliyevs – with the same names as the president’s daughters – also have popped up in more land deals.

In all, Aliyev’s children, or at least some people with similar names, have amassed $75 million worth of real estate in Dubai.

The President’s official salary in Azerbaijan is about $228,000 a year, not enough to buy even the smallest property in the luxury zone of Dubai.

Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic blessed with plentiful oil and gas reserves yet blighted by widespread poverty outside its glitzy capital, has long had a reputation for corruption.
