The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection recently debuted a first-of-its-kind collaboration with renowned Colombian luxury fashion designer Johanna Ortiz. The exclusive partnership showcases Ortiz’s signature prints and textiles on the pool deck and observation terrace aboard Ilma. The limited-time takeover continues through the yacht’s summer season in the Mediterranean.
Ortiz’s designs draw inspiration from her Latin heritage with use of vibrant colors and bold textiles. The takeover features Tropical Exuberance, her custom prints inspired by Caribbean flora and natural landscapes. On the pool deck, the La Rumba design boasts beautiful deep blue hues. On the observation terrace, La Siesta features lush tropical greens of palms, foliage and landscapes.
“Johanna Ortiz brings an unmistakable point of view that embodies culture, emotion, and beauty in motion,” said Gaby Aiguesvives, chief marketing officer, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. “The brand’s vision aligns naturally with how we curate our voyages, where thoughtful design and storytelling enhance every moment on board. This collaboration invites guests to experience life at sea through a fashion-led lens that feels effortless and authentic.”
In addition, guests may purchase Ortiz’s ready-to-wear pieces from a selection in the yacht’s onboard boutique. Select cocktails and mocktails inspired by Ortiz’s designs will be available at the bars in both takeover areas.

Sep 2, 2026Review: Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club
Costa del Sol regularly attracts throngs of sunseekers who’ve come to bask on the pebble-and sand-covered shoreline and soak up the vibes of an Andalusian summer. And with the recent partial solar eclipse and the promise of full totality sweeping across the area Aug. 2, 2027, the southern Spanish region is especially en vogue. That includes Marbella, the glitzy playground dotted with boutique hotels, exclusive coastal enclaves and elevated Mediterranean dining. But even when celestial bodies aren’t putting on a show, one new property delivers a trifecta of beach, beauty and buzz, with a distinctly more relaxed take on the Marbella experience.
