If you think a staycation is just a weekend fantasy, meet Andia by Bosa Development, where weekday living effortlessly slips you into that vacation mindset.

“Today’s homeowners are looking for more than just a place to live; they want spaces that support how they spend their time,” says Nat Bosa, founder and chairman of luxury real estate developer Bosa Development.

“At Andia, we’ve introduced over 30,000 square feet of amenities designed to do exactly that. From the expansive pool terrace to the 40th-floor Sky Lounge and Terrace, these shared spaces give residents more ways to unwind, connect, or host, all as a natural extension from their home.”

Few things will chill you out faster than Andia’s fifth-floor Pool Terrace. Here, lounger life isn’t reserved for weeks that you’re out of the office, but rather a daily ritual. Sunlight dances across the water, neighbors become friends and mid‑afternoon swims can segue into rooftop cocktails without missing a beat. The striking ~75-foot pool is complemented by a smaller wading pool, complete with in-water lounge chairs, and the area is perfect for hosting, offering private cabanas, an open-air entertainment bar, grills, a pizza oven, fire pits and dining areas. Whether you’re working on your tan, flipping pages in a good book or soaking up the SoCal sunshine during a meal with friends, this poolside space feels like the start of a perfect weekend, even when it’s only Tuesday.
