Modern 5 Bedroom Frontline Golf Villa with Breathtaking Views at Marbella Club Golf Resort in Benahavis

In a world that often pursues perfection, Casa Flotante offers a unique perspective with its five splendid bedrooms, celebrating imperfection while showcasing remarkable architectural innovation.

This contemporary villa spans 523 square meters on a 4,139 square meter plot nestled in the serene hills of Benahavis. The house seamlessly blends the fluidity of water with a passive design featuring high thermal mass exposed concrete.

Approaching the property along a tree-lined driveway, you’ll encounter a 500-year-old olive tree and a lush yucca, testaments to the enduring winds of the Andalusian plains. A natural bamboo bridge gracefully spans over water, leading to the grand entrance where an awe-inspiring sight unfolds.

Here, a magnificent 20-foot-tall ficus bonsai stands in peaceful reflection within a serene pool, interacting playfully with a waterfall and the soft sunlight filtering through a glass ceiling above. Drawing inspiration from architectural legends Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe, Casa Flotante appears to float on multiple water bodies that elegantly traverse through the house.

A floating bridge connects the east and west wings of the residence, housing private suites and a study adorned with eclectic memorabilia from around the world, including a piece of the moon. This home caters to various interests, whether you’re a sports enthusiast, golfer, music lover, or a fan of Tintin and Captain Haddock.

The primary suite is a marvel, featuring two interconnected dressers designed by Italian house Febal Casa. These open up to a private garden with majestic conifers and the scent of wild jasmines, providing a regal dressing experience in front of a floor-to-ceiling back-lit mirror. The shower area in the suite is equally spectacular, featuring a retractable glass ceiling for a unique midnight bath under the stars, complemented by luxurious bronze Noken accessories.

Continuing through the house on dark oak wide panels, you’ll encounter a master bed with innovative features like inclination, massage, and even phone charging capabilities. The ambiance is enriched by the warm glow of two stunning Tom Dixon melt lights in a rust orange hue.

Within the property, a serene Japanese garden offers the perfect spot for reflection over a cup of green matcha tea. A cascading mirror suspended from the concrete ceiling creates a whimsical effect, reminiscent of Alice’s adventures in Wonderland.

Crossing a floating bridge with a waterfall on one side and a lush green moss-covered wall on the other, you’re transported to a magical world where rolling hills beyond a single pane of glass further enhance the enchanting experience.
