Villa GENEVE

Nestled in the heart of La Zagaleta, one of Europe’s most exclusive residential communities, Villa GENEVE is a private residence that embodies a refined dialogue between architecture, nature, and contemporary living. Designed by Manuel Ruiz Moriche, Creative Director and Co-founder of ARK Architects, the project reflects the studio’s commitment to bio-architecture and emotionally driven design.

Villa GENEVE is conceived as a holistic living environment where architecture and interior design merge seamlessly. The interiors feature curated pieces from Flexform alongside elements from the exclusive ARK Collection, creating a timeless atmosphere defined by comfort, material honesty, and attention to detail. Every space has been carefully composed to enhance natural light, frame views, and support everyday life with elegance and ease.

The project is guided by ARK Architects’ bio-architecture principles, a design philosophy that places nature, materiality, emotion, and sustainability at the core of architectural expression. Natural and untreated materials such as stone and wood are combined with lime-based paints to promote a healthy indoor environment while minimizing environmental impact. Sustainability is not approached as a visual statement, but as an integral and lived quality of the home.

Luxury in Villa GENEVE is expressed through authenticity rather than excess. The architecture prioritizes calm, balance, and connection with the surrounding landscape, allowing the house to mediate gently between human life and nature. Clean, contemporary lines enable the villa to integrate organically into its setting, surrounded by lush gardens and panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the African coastline, and the mountains of Benahavís.

Large windows dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, while terraces, private gardens, and an infinity pool invite contemplation and rest. Inside, wellness areas including a spa with an indoor heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, and a private wine cellar complete a living experience focused on comfort and well-being.

Villa GENEVE is not merely a house, but a sensorial experience—an architecture that breathes, adapts, and enhances the emotional connection between space, landscape, and those who inhabit it.
