As the festive season approaches, the Maldives is witnessing an influx of luxurious yachts, among which the distinguished Anawa stands out. Anchored near Crossroads Maldives in Kaafu Atoll, this 62-metre custom-designed SeaXplorer boasts both opulence and functionality. Owned by renowned billionaire Jorge Paulo Lemann, the Anawa exemplifies maritime luxury with its Helibras 350 helicopter and a proficient crew of 16.
Mr. Lemann, a Brazilian-born investor now residing in Switzerland, amassed his $17 billion fortune through strategic ventures in investment banking and as a co-founder of 3G Capital. Known for acquiring major brands like Burger King, Kraft Foods, Anheuser-Busch, and Heinz, Lemann’s influence extends globally. The Anawa, constructed by Damen Yachting, carries a gross tonnage of 1,850 and can reach a maximum speed of 13.5 knots.
This season’s assembly of extravagant yachts in Maldivian waters underscores the region’s standing as a preferred destination for high-profile leisure during Christmas and New Year celebrations.
