New York Architectural Award Winning Unique Frontline Golf Villa
Nestled in the serene hills of Benahavís, Casa Flotante is an architectural masterpiece blending contemporary design with nature. This 815m² villa, set on a 4,139m² plot, boasts fluid lines and a passive design with high thermal mass exposed concrete. Its entrance is a spectacle, featuring a natural bamboo bridge over water, leading to a breathtaking foyer with a 20-foot-tall ficus bonsai tree in a reflecting pond, illuminated by sunlight through a glass roof. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe, the villa’s design appears to float on interconnected water features, creating a serene and harmonious living experience.
Casa Flotante offers five luxurious bedrooms, including a master suite with dual dressing rooms by Italian brand Febal Casa, opening onto a private garden with conifers and jasmine. The ensuite bathroom features a retractable glass roof for starlit showers, complemented by opulent brass fixtures by Noken. The villa seamlessly combines elegance and functionality, with highlights such as a floating bridge connecting the east and west wings, a Modulnova Italian kitchen equipped with Gaggenau and Smeg appliances, and a minimalist dining area that extends to a terrace for al fresco dining. Inside, the property’s serene Japanese garden and bespoke designer elements, including Tom Dixon cast lamps and ADL Mitica doors, elevate the luxurious ambiance.
Designed for entertainment and relaxation, Casa Flotante includes a state-of-the-art cinema room with a 98-inch Samsung TV, set to be relocated beneath the pool for an immersive experience. The living spaces are adorned with Italian moss wall art, a cozy fireplace, and expansive glass panels offering stunning views of rolling hills.
