EXPLORA III launching 24 July 2026 – The most anticipated luxury floating hotel opening of the year

The Owner’s Residence on EXPLORA III is the ultimate Home at Sea, reimagined by world-renowned designer Patricia Urquiola, whose collaborations include Mandarin Oriental, Louis Vuitton, Four Seasons, Ferrari, and Cassina. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping horizons, while flowing layouts, sculptural partitions, and furnishings by Cassina, Kettal, Moroso, Minotti, and B&B Italia create intimate yet expansive spaces. Enhanced by a dedicated Residence Manager, every detail—from in-suite dining to bespoke itineraries—is effortlessly curated for luxury, privacy, and comfort. 

What makes the Owner’s Residence truly exceptional vs other top luxury suites:

• Designer collaboration: Combining Patricia Urquiola’s exceptional design vision with refined sensibility, the Owner’s Residence reflects unrivalled luxury and style, setting a new standard for luxury at sea. 
• Size & layout: 280 sqm / 3,014 sq ft with floor-to-ceiling, sweeping 180-degree ocean views, an expansive suite-wide terrace, private whirlpool, and alfresco dining. One of the most spacious private residences at sea, offering outdoor living on a scale comparable to a standalone luxury villa patio. 
• Design & materiality: Meticulously curated interiors blending Mediterranean elegance with tactile, emotionally intelligent design, featuring prestigious furnishings from Cassina, Kettal, Moroso, Minotti, and B&B Italia—a refined, brand-led environment that resonates with luxury buyers who value craftsmanship and curated spaces. 
• Service philosophy: Highly personalized, anticipatory service from dedicated butlers and Residence Managers that enhances the homelike, bespoke experience beyond typical luxury vacation service.
