MALIA Superyacht Charter France

Yacht Overview

MALIA is a 77.7-metre luxury superyacht, delivered in 2023 by Golden Yachts, designed to make an immediate impression through scale, architectural detail, and visual presence. New to the charter market, she represents a modern interpretation of high-impact superyacht living, combining statement design with a deeply considered guest experience across every deck.

From the moment guests step onboard, MALIA feels purposeful and theatrical without sacrificing comfort. Her exterior lines are bold and contemporary, while the interior reveals an extraordinary level of craftsmanship, featuring over 250 individual finishes, exotic woods, precious stones, and bespoke sculptural elements. Lighting plays a central role throughout the yacht, from illuminated wave motifs in the main and upper salons to the cascading chandelier that wraps around the spiral staircase.

Designed for private, multi-day luxury charters in France, MALIA is particularly well suited to guests who value originality, volume, and an immersive onboard lifestyle. With accommodation for up to 12 guests and a crew of 22, she delivers a charter experience that feels both expansive and meticulously managed.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

MALIA’s exterior decks are among her most compelling features, offering a seamless blend of open-air leisure, privacy, and visual drama.

The main deck is defined by a striking glass-edged swimming pool, positioned forward to preserve uninterrupted sea views while maintaining privacy. This pool area becomes a natural gathering point throughout the day, allowing guests to enjoy sun, water, and conversation in a refined setting.

Above, the sun deck offers an elevated lifestyle experience. A large jacuzzi, expansive sun pads, a bar, and lounge seating create a space that transitions effortlessly from daytime relaxation to evening entertainment. An outdoor cinema allows films to be enjoyed under the stars, adding a cinematic dimension to nights at anchor.

At the stern, the full-beam beach club sits directly at sea level and opens on both sides via fold-down terraces. This design allows natural airflow and panoramic views while creating a beach-house atmosphere that feels open, relaxed, and luxurious. Hidden discreetly within this space are the yacht’s spa facilities, including a hammam, sauna, and massage suite, ensuring wellness remains private and uninterrupted.

Throughout all exterior decks, circulation is generous and intuitive, allowing guests to move freely without congestion, even during full-capacity charters.

Interior Design and Social Spaces

MALIA’s interior is unapologetically bold. Designed to impress without feeling overwhelming, each space reflects a deliberate balance between architectural structure and refined comfort.

The main salon is expansive and light-filled, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding coastline. Sculptural ceiling features and carefully layered lighting create a sense of movement within the space, while seating is arranged to encourage both social interaction and quieter moments.

Forward on the main deck, the formal dining area offers a refined environment for hosted dinners. The setting feels intimate despite the yacht’s scale, enhanced by custom finishes and a sense of enclosure that contrasts beautifully with the openness of the decks outside.

An upper deck sky lounge provides an additional indoor retreat. This space is often used for afternoon relaxation or evening gatherings, offering panoramic views and a more casual atmosphere than the main salon. A bar and lounge seating make it a natural extension of the outdoor spaces nearby.

The yacht is equipped with a glass elevator connecting the lower and upper decks, adding both convenience and visual impact, particularly for multi-generational charter groups.

Cabins and Guest Accommodation

MALIA accommodates up to 12 guests across eight cabins, offering a flexible layout that suits a variety of charter groups.

The full-beam master suite is positioned to provide maximum privacy and comfort. Large picture windows flood the suite with natural light, while the interior design echoes the yacht’s broader aesthetic, combining rich textures with soft, calming tones. The suite includes generous storage, a spacious en suite bathroom, and a layout designed for extended stays onboard.

Additional guest accommodation includes a mix of double and twin cabins, all en suite and finished to the same high standard. Each cabin benefits from large windows, refined lighting, and thoughtful sound insulation, ensuring restful nights regardless of where the yacht is anchored.

The flexibility of the cabin configuration makes MALIA particularly suitable for families, couples travelling together, or mixed charter groups who require both shared and private spaces.

Beach Club, Wellness, and Fitness

Wellness is a defining element of the MALIA charter experience.

The beach club serves as the heart of this offering, functioning as both a social and wellness hub. Guests can transition directly from swimming to spa treatments without moving through guest living areas, preserving privacy and flow.

Facilities include a hammam, sauna, massage room, and a range of exercise equipment. This allows guests to incorporate wellness routines seamlessly into daily life onboard, whether through structured fitness sessions or relaxed spa rituals.

The proximity of the beach club to the water reinforces MALIA’s connection to the sea, encouraging guests to move freely between activity and relaxation.

Tenders, Toys, and Onboard Activities

MALIA carries an extensive and highly distinctive selection of water toys, supporting an active and adventurous charter lifestyle.

Highlights include a shark submersible Seabreacher, along with waverunners, SeaBobs, eFoils, Fliteboards, electric surfboards, pedal boards, wakeboards, towables, inflatable water parks, and snorkelling equipment. This variety ensures guests of all ages and experience levels have options throughout the charter.

A Wajer 38S chase tender provides fast, stylish transfers and independent exploration along the French coast, enhancing flexibility when visiting beach clubs or secluded coves.

Crew and Service Philosophy

MALIA is operated by a highly experienced crew of 22, delivering a level of service that matches the yacht’s ambition and scale. Service onboard is polished, discreet, and intuitive, ensuring guests feel cared for without intrusion.

The crew’s familiarity with the South of France allows itineraries and daily plans to adapt fluidly to guest preferences, weather, and local conditions. With a high crew-to-guest ratio, attention remains personal and consistent throughout the charter.

Charter Positioning

MALIA is positioned as a statement superyacht for guests seeking visual impact, volume, and an immersive luxury lifestyle. Her combination of cutting-edge design, expansive deck spaces, wellness facilities, and adventure-focused toy selection places her firmly among the most distinctive charter yachts available in France.

She is designed for guests who want more than a place to stay at sea — MALIA offers an experience that is bold, refined, and unforgettable.

Life Onboard MALIA During a Charter

Life onboard MALIA is immersive, theatrical, and fluid. This is a superyacht designed to be experienced continuously rather than compartmentalised, where each day unfolds with a natural rhythm shaped by space, light, and guest preference. MALIA excels during multi-day charters in France, offering an environment that feels expansive yet carefully controlled.

Mornings typically begin at anchor in calm waters along the Côte d’Azur. Thanks to advanced stabilisation systems, the yacht remains exceptionally steady, allowing guests to wake gradually without disturbance. Breakfast is often served on the sun deck or near the pool on the main deck, where open views and gentle movement define the start of the day.

Some guests choose early wellness sessions in the beach club spa, while others swim directly from the platform or enjoy quiet moments indoors. MALIA’s generous volume allows these routines to happen simultaneously without overlap, preserving both privacy and ease.

Cruising between destinations is smooth and visually engaging. MALIA’s design encourages guests to remain on deck while underway, taking in the coastline rather than retreating indoors. Short passages between Riviera anchorages feel unhurried, preserving time for anchor life and onboard enjoyment.

Outdoor Living and Deck Experience

Outdoor living is central to the MALIA charter experience. Her decks are designed to feel cinematic yet practical, offering variety without excess.

The main deck pool area becomes a focal point throughout the day. Guests gather here naturally, moving between sun pads, water, and shaded seating. This space supports conversation and relaxation while maintaining a sense of privacy, even during full-capacity charters.

Above, the sun deck offers a more elevated experience. The jacuzzi, expansive lounging areas, bar, and open-air cinema transform this deck into an all-day and all-evening destination. During the afternoon, it functions as a relaxed social zone. At night, it becomes an intimate entertainment space, framed by subtle lighting and open sky.

At sea level, the beach club anchors the yacht’s lifestyle. Fold-down terraces open the space to the water, creating a seamless connection between sea and interior wellness facilities. Guests move effortlessly between swimming, spa treatments, and relaxation without interrupting the flow of the yacht.

Wellness, Spa, and Recovery

Wellness onboard MALIA is designed to feel private, indulgent, and integrated rather than staged.

The beach club spa area includes a hammam, sauna, and massage suite, allowing guests to structure full wellness routines throughout the charter. Treatments are often scheduled during quieter hours, such as mid-morning or early evening, when the yacht is at anchor.

Fitness equipment supports light training and recovery rather than intense routines, aligning with MALIA’s emphasis on balance and enjoyment. Guests often combine swimming, spa treatments, and gentle movement, creating days that feel restorative rather than demanding.

The yacht’s stabilisation systems ensure that wellness activities remain calm and uninterrupted, even when anchored in more open bays.

Dining Experience and Culinary Flow

Dining onboard MALIA is refined, expressive, and entirely guest-led. Meals are designed to complement the pace of the day rather than impose structure.

Breakfasts and lunches are typically enjoyed outdoors, where shaded seating and open views enhance the experience. The yacht’s multiple dining locations allow guests to change settings daily, keeping the experience fresh over longer charters.

Evenings introduce a more composed tone. Guests may gather for formal dinners in the main dining area or opt for alfresco dining under the stars. Lighting, table settings, and service are carefully coordinated to create a sense of occasion without formality.

Menus are tailored daily to guest preferences, dietary requirements, and seasonal ingredients. The culinary approach balances indulgence with restraint, ensuring consistency across the charter without repetition.

Evenings and Onboard Atmosphere

Evenings onboard MALIA are immersive and atmospheric. The yacht’s lighting design plays a central role, shifting the mood from day to night and highlighting architectural features throughout the interior and decks.

Guests often begin the evening with cocktails on the sun deck, where the jacuzzi and lounge areas create a relaxed social environment. After dinner, the open-air cinema offers a distinctive entertainment option, allowing films to be enjoyed beneath the night sky.

Others choose quieter evenings indoors, gathering in the upper lounge or main salon for conversation. MALIA’s layout supports both social and private evenings without compromise.

When guests choose to go ashore, the yacht’s chase tender allows efficient and stylish transfers to beach clubs, restaurants, and ports along the French coast.

Sample French Riviera Itineraries

MALIA is ideally suited to itineraries that prioritise anchor life over constant movement.

A typical charter may begin in Monaco or Antibes, allowing guests to settle onboard before cruising toward Cap Ferrat or Villefranche-sur-Mer. These locations offer sheltered anchorages ideal for swimming, spa use, and deck living.

Midweek often includes the Lérins Islands or Cannes, where guests balance cultural visits ashore with quiet anchor time. Saint-Tropez may feature later in the charter, combining iconic beach clubs with relaxed evenings onboard.

For longer charters, Corsica provides a more secluded extension, allowing guests to experience quieter waters while maintaining the yacht’s immersive lifestyle.
