Design meets wilderness at Fila Casablanca, the Sunshine Coast’s new weekend escape
As we move deeper into autumn and the craziness of another year zooming by starts to set in, we are reminded of those times we were told as kids to hop off the Nintendo and go outside. With a bunch of public holidays and long weekends looming, now is the perfect time to step away from the computer and pencil in some R&R. Enter Fila Casablanca – the Sunshine Coast’s newest luxury retreat where one can escape the chaos of city life.
Located 20 minutes from the tourist hub of Hastings Street and a short trot from the iconic Eumundi Markets, Fila Casablanca is a haven for wellness and a place to rediscover your peace. Picture this – a place dedicated to rejuvenating mind, body and spirit. Designed by architectural visionary Alex Zabotto-Bentley – whose extensive portfolio includes Noku Beach House in Bali – Fila Casablanca is an oasis dedicated to relaxing retreats, intimate gatherings and exclusive stays. Echoing the spirit of a Queenslander home, this farm stay has been extensively elevated to suit the modern traveller.
With 38 acres of land, two dams and a stretched-out horizon, this luxury accommodation features a plethora of space. For a morning reset, an infrared sauna, plunge cold bath, private gym studio, Noosa Flow pilates classes, and massage and facial treatment rooms are at your leisure. Or, for those who want to chill under the radar, a therapist can visit your suite directly.
Fila Casablanca’s concierge service seamlessly handles every detail and request, from indulgent seasonal feasts made by private chefs to yoga sessions from skilled instructors. When the sun goes down, guests can rest blissfully in the four lavishly appointed bedrooms, each with their own ensuite, or the adjacent Cottage – that is, if you opt in to bringing the extended family.

From the warm material palette of hand-cut stone and colour scheme inspired by the pigments of the nearby tropical rainforest to the locally sourced heritage materials and artisanal textiles, Alex Zabotto-Bentley makes good on his statement to provide a “seamless conversation between interiors and the surrounding environment” of the glorious Noosa Hinterland.
As the Sunday night pack-up begins and you’re thrust into bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Bruce Highway back to Brisbane, don’t fret – there are still 38 weekends remaining in 2025, so you can always return to Fila Casablanca.
