Escape to Fila Casablanca: Where Design Meets Wilderness in Noosa’s Hinterland
Nestled in the tranquil hinterland of Noosa, surrounded by towering macadamia groves and the vast horizon, lies Fila Casablanca — a luxurious retreat that marries modern design with nature’s ancient tranquility. Just a 20-minute drive from Noosa’s bustling Hastings Street and a stone’s throw from the famed Eumundi Markets, Fila Casablanca offers a refreshing blend of luxury, wellness, and serenity.
This newly reimagined Queenslander estate is more than just a getaway; it’s a curated experience. Set on 38.3 acres of lush landscape, Fila Casablanca is a six-bedroom sanctuary designed to embrace the surrounding wilderness while offering the utmost in comfort and style. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering, a wellness retreat, or simply looking to escape, this unique property promises both grounding and indulgence in equal measure.
A Design Vision Inspired by Nature
Designed by renowned architect Alex Zabotto-Bentley, Fila Casablanca is a masterclass in marrying modern design with ancient influences. Drawing inspiration from the land itself, Zabotto-Bentley created a space that feels both timeless and deeply connected to its surroundings. “We didn’t want to build on the land, we wanted to build in harmony with it,” he shares, capturing the essence of this visionary property.
The design incorporates a color palette sourced directly from the natural world — think mineral paints tinted with pigments from macadamia leaves, tree barks, and the nearby tropical rainforest. Every element of the estate, from the vertical timber slats to the expansive glazing, works in perfect harmony with the landscape, bringing the outdoors in and creating a fluid connection between the interiors and the environment.
A Sanctuary of Space and Comfort
The main house at Fila Casablanca features four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and private retreat. Adjacent to the main house, a charming cottage offers two additional bedrooms, perfect for those seeking a more secluded escape. The ethos of the estate is clear: ample space to gather, ample space to retreat, and plenty of room to simply be.
The residence is filled with carefully chosen materials — from locally sourced timber finishes to hand-cut stone bathrooms — that give the property a sense of grounded elegance. The furnishings, a blend of artisanal treasures from Morocco, India, and Indonesia, complement bespoke Australian pieces, creating a space that feels both global and deeply personal.
Wellness in Every Corner
More than just a place to stay, Fila Casablanca is a sanctuary for those seeking wellness and rejuvenation. The estate features a dedicated wellness hub, “The Shed,” where guests can indulge in infrared sauna sessions, cold baths, or a private gym studio workout. For a more personal experience, in-suite massages and facials can be arranged, or guests can book one of the property’s expert therapists to visit directly.
As part of the experience, a concierge service is available to tailor every aspect of your stay, from private chefs crafting seasonal feasts to expert yoga and Pilates sessions led by Noosa Flow instructors. Each stay is a bespoke experience, designed to nourish both body and soul.
A Destination to Inhabit, Not Just Visit
Fila Casablanca is more than just a luxury retreat; it’s a destination in its own right. Spanning 38.3 acres, the property invites guests to immerse themselves in nature, whether by enjoying the peacefulness of the surrounding landscape or exploring the two picturesque dams that dot the land. The seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces ensures that every moment spent here is a celebration of both design and nature.
In a world where time often slips away, Fila Casablanca offers a chance to slow down, reconnect, and indulge in an experience that lingers long after departure.
