Each week, Elevated Weekly brings you a curated dispatch from the world of Elevated Living, uncovering the escapes, objects, rituals and experiences shaping the conversation around modern luxury. Four signals. One weekly edit.
This week begins with the debut of a record-breaking sailing yacht, signalling a new chapter in design-led ocean travel. It moves through a summer capsule that reimagines swimwear with texture and adaptability, to a design innovation transforming the bathroom into a multisensory wellness ritual, and finally to the Amalfi Coast, where a new beach club introduces a slower, more intimate expression of life by the sea. Together, these moments reflect a more intentional rhythm of living, where experience, design, and atmosphere quietly take precedence.

The Escape: Orient Express’s Record-Breaking Yacht Just Set Sail
Orient Express marks a new chapter in maritime travel with the launch of Corinthian, the world’s largest sailing yacht. Recently christened in Saint-Nazaire, the 722-foot vessel has set sail for the Mediterranean ahead of its inaugural season. Combining scale with innovation, the yacht features a pioneering SolidSail propulsion system and three rotating masts designed to harness wind with greater efficiency. On board, 54 suites, refined interiors, and a culinary programme led by Yannick Alléno define a new standard of ocean living. Beyond the suites, the experience unfolds across five restaurants and private dining spaces, eight bars, including an Art Deco speakeasy and a Parisian-style cabaret, alongside a Guerlain spa, a pool, and a marina.
The Object: Burberry and Hunza G Launch a Summer Swimwear Capsule
Burberry and Hunza G introduce a collaborative swimwear capsule designed for modern summer living. Blending Burberry’s heritage codes with Hunza G’s signature crinkled fabric, the collection reimagines classic silhouettes through a contemporary, body-adaptive lens. Lightweight, sculpting, and travel-ready, each piece reflects a balance between function and refined aesthetic.

The Ritual: Gessi Introduces the World’s First Overhead Steam Shower
Gessi launches Rituale del Vapore, an overhead steam shower designed as a multisensory wellness ritual. Delivering steam from above, the system creates an enveloping experience enhanced by light, scent, and advanced water flows. An additional Steam + Intenso Flow option combines steam with a smooth, laminar water stream, adding depth to the experience. Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing showers, the system transforms everyday routines into a more immersive, design-led ritual of wellbeing.
The Experience: Le Sirenuse Opens a New Beach Club on the Amalfi Coast
Le Sirenuse expands its world beyond Positano with the unveiling of Le Sirenuse Mare, a new beach club set along the shores of Nerano. Moving away from its iconic hilltop setting, the brand introduces a more intimate, sea-level expression shaped by calm and simplicity. Natural materials, soft tones, and open spaces allow the landscape to lead, while days unfold slowly between sun, water, and long lunches — offering a quieter, more personal way to experience the Amalfi Coast.
