For those who’ve traded terra firma for a permanent address at sea, life aboard Villa Vie Odyssey just got a serious upgrade. Villa Vie Residences, the company redefining full-time oceanfront living, has partnered with AquaBanas, a global leader in luxury inflatable platforms, to unveil a game-changing addition: the Customized Floating Oasis—a fully engineered marina and recreation hub designed to elevate the at-sea lifestyle.

Slated to debut September 2025 during Odyssey’s upcoming expedition through the South Pacific, this elegant new platform invites residents to experience the ocean not just as a backdrop, but as a playground.

Designed to launch from both port and starboard, the floating platform transforms anchor days into curated moments of connection, recreation, and serenity. Think lounging zones, water sport launch points, and unfettered access to the sea, all framed by the remote, glassy waters of the Maldives, Seychelles, and beyond.

This isn’t your average sundeck extension. The structure integrates directly with the Villa Vie Odyssey’s tendering operations, proving especially valuable in destinations where docking is impossible. Residents can explore otherwise hard-to-reach shores while enjoying seamless transfers and safe ocean access—no infrastructure required.

For AquaBanas, a brand trusted by superyacht owners and high-end resorts alike, this partnership offers a new challenge: scale and integration with a moving home. The result is a custom-engineered, marine-grade platform that combines the flair of beachfront leisure with the practicality of high-seas engineering.

Constructed with durability and elegance in equal measure, the structure will support a range of uses—from intimate morning yoga flows to watercraft launches and casual sunset socials. It’s an architectural answer to the growing demand for immersive wellness, recreation, and flexibility aboard long-term voyages.

This floating marina complements the broader mission of Villa Vie Residences: to offer flexible, long-term living at sea. Through its Continual World Cruise, Odyssey residents experience 425+ ports across 140+ countries and all seven continents in a 3.5-year cycle. Ownership, rental, and the Endless Horizons Program allow guests to choose how—and how long—they wish to make the sea their home.

With the Floating Oasis soon to join the experience, Villa Vie continues to redefine what full-time cruising can mean: a lifestyle where comfort, mobility, and curiosity converge with seamless access to the world’s most remote and dazzling coastlines.

So while the Odyssey sails steadily toward its South Pacific sojourn, one thing is clear: life at sea is no longer just about the destination. It’s about creating the space to truly live there.
