Biggest Game Rooms in the World: Going Big And Going Home

When your net worth is measured in hundreds of millions (or billions), a standard games room just won’t do. In the world’s most palatial residences – from American mega‑mansions to Gulf emirates and Indian skyscraper homes – entertainment zones are more like upscale leisure complexes. Think four‑lane bowling alleys, billiards halls, private cinemas and even Monaco‑style casinos built into personal estates. Inspired by Luxe Digital’s ranking of the world’s biggest houses, we’ve rounded up the most extravagant game rooms on the planet – spaces where you could spend days lost in play.

1. The One, Bel Air, USA

LA’s 105,000‑square‑foot mega‑mansion The One was designed to be an entertainment hub. The hillside estate includes a four‑lane bowling alley, movie theatre, nightclub and a Monaco‑inspired casino. [9, 10, 11] Such a wide range of play spaces is rare even among billionaires – most homes settle for a single lane or a small theater, whereas The One devotes thousands of square feet to out‑of‑this‑world recreation. Completed around 2021, it was originally marketed at $500 million but sold at auction for $141 million to Fashion Nova CEO Richard Saghian.

2. The Manor, Holmby Hills, USA

Formerly known as the Spelling Manor, this 56,500‑square‑foot chateau in Holmby Hills mixes Old World opulence with playful indulgence. The manor’s basement houses a two‑lane bowling alley and game room, complete with a bar, spa and hair salon.

Built in 1988 for television producer Aaron Spelling, it later sold for $119.7 million and remains one of Los Angeles’ largest residences.

3. Fair Field, Sagaponack, USA

Financier Ira Rennert’s 110,000‑square‑foot Hamptons compound is famous for its size, but the play zones are equally staggering. The estate includes a bowling alley and a 164‑seat theater, as well as three swimming pools, multiple tennis and basketball courts and a 100‑car garage. Completed around 2003, the property’s scale is closer to a luxury resort than a private home, yet its bowling lane is tucked away beneath the main residence, offering owners and guests a private getaway.

4. La Reverie, Palm Beach, USA

At 84,600 square feet, La Reverie is one of Palm Beach’s largest homes and features a basement game zone reminiscent of a private club. The lower level includes a bowling alley and game room along with a gym, spa and hair salon – an indulgent retreat for owners and guests. Built in 2001 by pharmaceutical entrepreneur Sydell Miller, the house sold to hedge‑fund manager Steven Schonfeld for $111 million in 2019, a record for Florida at the time.

5. Witanhurst, London, UK

London’s second‑largest private residence, Witanhurst, dates to the early 20th century and sits on five acres in Highgate. A recent restoration added a 70,000‑square‑foot basement featuring a gym, sauna, movie theatre and billiards room. Beneath the Georgian façade lies a modern entertainment complex that rivals the best private clubs in Mayfair. The house as a whole measures around 90,000 square feet, but much of its recreational space is tucked beneath ground level.

6. Biltmore Estate, Asheville, USA

America’s largest privately owned home, the Biltmore Estate, dates to 1895 and remains famous for its opulent Gilded Age design. Hidden beneath its château‑style exterior is one of the first residential recreation complexes: a two‑lane bowling alley, gymnasium and indoor swimming pool. These spaces allowed George Vanderbilt’s guests to enjoy sporting pursuits without leaving the estate. The bowling alley, pictured below, remains a rare historic example of in‑home amusement and has been meticulously preserved.

7. Casa Del Sole, Palm Jumeirah, UAE

Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah is home to Casa Del Sole, an ultra‑modern villa that blends indoor luxury with beachfront living. The eight‑bedroom residence (still under construction as of 2023) features a bowling alley and home theater among its amenities. Although smaller than American mega‑mansions, the property’s recreational zone is designed for Gulf royalty – expect polished marble lanes, plush cinema seating and panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf. A 15‑car garage and multiple pools ensure the villa meets the standard for Dubai’s ultra‑rich.

8. Antilia, Mumbai, India

At 27 stories and 570 feet tall, Antilia redefines what a private residence can be. Mukesh Ambani’s 400,000‑square‑foot tower houses three rooftop helipads, six floors of parking and a 50‑seat movie theatre. It even includes a “snow room” that simulates winter for the Ambani family. While Antilia doesn’t feature a bowling alley, its private cinema and entertainment lounges highlight how game rooms can scale vertically in skyscraper homes.
