Casa Flotante

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.
