Today, more travelers are craving nature and remote getaways, and the Anthénea – an eco-friendly, floating pod – aims to provide just that.
The Anthénea is a floating, mobile home for luxury travelers. Designed by architect Jean-Michel Ducancelle, the structures have officially opened for travelers off the coast of Brittany, France.
Take a look inside the futuristic-looking pods.
Anthénea is a 540-square-foot pod and is a luxury, off-grid retreat for travelers.
The futuristic design was inspired by the James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me.”
Travelers can experience it for themselves on Côte de Granit Rose, or the Pink Granite Coast, in Brittany, France.
The pod has 360-degree views of the ocean and opens to an outdoor seating area built for 12 people.
Inside, the retreat has fiberglass windows that peer into the ocean.
Anthénea was designed to sail, so owners can move the home from destination to destination.
The pod is composed of three living spaces: a living room area, bedroom, and an outdoor “relaxation area.”
The entire space features circular designs — from the enormous round bed to a circular tub and rounded couches.
The designers also envision creating pod hotels, where the floating structures function as spas, restaurants, night clubs, and more.
The starting price to buy one of the luxury pods is $535,000, or guests can rent a pod for $336 a night.
