Escape to Suraya: Captiva's Award-Winning Tropical Paradise
Discover an unparalleled beachfront escape at Suraya, an exquisite Asian-inspired luxury home nestled on the pristine shores of Captiva Island. Experience the graceful charm of sub-tropical Florida, where swaying palms and miles of unspoiled sandy beaches meet spectacular Gulf of Mexico sunsets – all without the intrusion of high-rises.
Suraya, meaning 'House of Sun', is a truly unique retreat set within the renowned South Seas Resort. This home seamlessly blends stylish contemporary interiors with lush tropical gardens, offering direct access to the beach. Enjoy breathtaking sunset views over the Gulf from the front, and serene golf course vistas from the side.
Step outside to your private oasis. The tropical gardens feature tranquil Japanese-style ponds at the entrance and a stunning pool area between the home and the beach, complete with a shallow lounging section and a whirlpool hot tub. Relax and dine al fresco on the spacious, shady verandah, featuring a large antique teak table and comfortable seating, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze and panoramic Gulf views. Find serenity in one of the two poolside seating areas, adorned with Asian daybeds, colorful cushions, antique Balinese furniture, and historic Javanese wooden panels.
The journey begins in a stunning atrium entrance, tiled in imported stone and featuring a serene seated Buddha. A magnificent wooden staircase leads to the upper levels, passing a dedicated media room with a large flatscreen TV and internet access.
The heart of the home is the open-plan living area, designed for seamless entertaining and socializing. Adjacent to the kitchen, this space offers comfortable sofas, a Sonos sound system, and spectacular vaulted ceilings. It opens onto a large verandah with additional seating and dining areas, bathed in refreshing sea breezes.
Culinary dreams come alive in the contemporary island kitchen. Boasting stone countertops and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, this well-equipped space includes a coffee machine, food mixer, and a comprehensive array of cooking essentials. The large island unit provides seating for five, perfect for casual meals or appetizers. A fully equipped laundry room is conveniently located nearby.
The spacious and open dining area, adjacent to an atrium featuring Asian art and greenery, offers a beautiful setting for meals. A large table seats up to 10 guests, providing views of either the Gulf of Mexico or the tranquil atrium. A convenient powder room is also available.
Indulge in the master suite, an epitome of Asian-inspired luxury fused with modern design. Wake up to incredible Gulf views. The suite features an island vanity with double basins, ample closets, and a grand bathroom finished in natural stone. Relax in the Japanese plunge pool or enjoy the dual shower heads in the spacious shower room.
The second master suite, while smaller, is equally luxurious with custom armoire closets, a large flat panel TV, and an ensuite bathroom. The spacious master bath boasts imported natural stone flooring, a large walk-in shower with a rainwater head and body sprays, and a striking elliptical bath. Sliding doors open onto the verandah with expansive Gulf views.
The third suite offers a true zen experience with a custom king-size bed, unique artwork, and a flatscreen TV. Its ensuite bathroom includes a large walk-in shower with a rainwater shower head, a Japanese window, and an oversized vanity. Step out onto a private balcony overlooking the tropical gardens and ponds – an ideal spot to witness a Florida sunrise.
The fourth suite, furnished with a kingsize bed, also features an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, natural stone finishes, a rainwater shower head, and a large vanity with a bowl sink. Sliding doors lead to a private balcony surrounded by tropical landscaping, perfect for enjoying the sunrise. A flat screen TV completes the room.
Suraya's exceptional design has been recognized with multiple accolades, including the prestigious Gold Aurora award for architecture (Florida's equivalent of the Oscars), as well as awards for its landscape, pool design, and interior styling. An interior architect praised its unique qualities, noting, "I love all the glass, linear elements and the play of light and shadow. I can so imagine myself relaxing on one of those balconies watching the sunset. It's a large home, yet very warm and inviting - not ostentatious at all (which can easily happen with a home of this stature). Well proportioned, well planned and very liveable. An excellent use of materials and attention to finishes both interior and exterior."
