Mallorca welcomed a mega-wealthy visitor on April 25 as Jeff Bezos’ $500 million sailing yacht, Koru, anchored off its shores at the end of its latest transatlantic journey. The Amazon founder’s 138-metre vessel, with three 70-metre masts, a navy-blue hull, and a custom pool, is en route to Venice for Bezos’ wedding to Lauren Sánchez on June 24. The celebrity-packed ceremony, taking place aboard the yacht in Venice’s lagoon, will host stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Eva Longoria , and Kim Kardashian, alongside Donald and Ivanka Trump, according to Vanity Fair.
The Koru, which was launched in Mallorca in 2023 when Bezos and Sánchez got engaged, boasts two wooden decks, space for 18 guests, and a 40-person crew. A unique touch is its figurehead—a carving of Sánchez as a goddess, commissioned by Bezos himself. The couple’s romance, sparked in 2019 after Bezos’ high-profile divorce, first brought them to Mallorca aboard David Geffen’s Rising Sun.
That trip, cruising the island’s north coast, marked an early adventure for Bezos and Sánchez, a former Fox host.
