The Mediterranean coast of Spain has always been known for its golden sands and turquoise waters. However, a new wave of avant-garde architecture is transforming the skyline of the Costa Brava and the Costa Tropical. Today, we dive into two of the most extraordinary properties in the world, managed by CAOBA, that are redefining luxury travel in Spain.
 

Sunflower House: A Geometric Masterpiece in Costa Brava (RESERVE HERE)

Located in the rugged beauty of El Port de la Selva, the Sunflower House is not just a villa; it is a conceptual breakthrough by the renowned Cadaval & Solà-Morales studio. Designed to frame the sea from multiple angles while capturing maximum sunlight (hence its name), this home is a collection of glass cubes that melt the boundary between indoors and outdoors.

  • Exclusive News: We are thrilled to announce that the Sunflower House has joined the CAOBA exclusive collection, thanks to our strategic partnership with Brava Dreams, the property's dedicated management agency.
     
  • Book Your Stay: This architectural icon is available for bookings starting September. By booking through our platform, you guarantee the best direct price and a seamless experience with the local administrators.

Casa Acantilado Living Under a Dragon’s Skin (RESERVE HERE)
 

If you’ve ever dreamed of living inside a work of art, Casa Acantilado in Salobreña is your destination. Also designed by Cadaval & Solà-Morales, this house is famous for its "dragon-skin" zinc roof that mimics the waves of the Mediterranean.

This property has reached legendary status in the travel world:

  • Media Icon: Thanks to CAOBA, this house has graced the cover of Condé Nast Traveler (check out the feature on rare accommodations) and has been featured in major Netflix documentaries.
     
  • The Design: Built directly into a 42-degree incline, the interior remains naturally cool at 20°C year-round, proving that sustainable design and high-end luxury can coexist.
     
  • Exclusive Merch: Love the design? We have exclusive Casa Acantilado T-shirts available only for our community. To get yours, simply email us at store@caobahotels.com.

Why These Properties Matter
 

The Mediterranean is being reshaped by these "rare" properties. They represent a shift toward experiential luxury, where the accommodation is as much a destination as the sea itself. The collaboration between visionary architects and CAOBA’s booking platform ensures that these private masterpieces are accessible to those seeking the extraordinary.
