Set on an elevated hillside in Sotogrande, Las Sirenas is one of the most distinctive private estates on the Mediterranean coast. Just a short drive from the beach, the marina, renowned golf courses and international polo grounds, the property offers the privacy and atmosphere of a secluded residence while remaining connected to the lifestyle that defines Sotogrande.

Approached through a tree-lined driveway, the estate reveals itself gradually: mature gardens, ponds, fountains, terraces, classical sculpture and hidden corners create a sense of theatrical arrival and complete retreat. The landscaping is not simply a setting, but an essential part of the property’s identity, framing the architecture with shade, water and Mediterranean greenery.

The interiors are equally remarkable. Neoclassical rooms designed by Christopher Hobbs, known for his restoration work at the Victoria and Albert Museum, bring scale, craftsmanship and a sense of historical permanence. In contrast, the Moorish-inspired wing introduces a more exotic architectural language, with vaulted spaces, intricate detailing, marble bathrooms and atmospheric rooms that took several years to complete.

Two Roman-style outdoor pools, previously featured in architecture publications, form part of the estate’s visual character, while an indoor marble pool with red marble pillars and vaulted skylights adds a rare wellness element. The principal bedrooms are air-conditioned, with heated marble en-suite bathrooms and lift access. The main suite occupies the upper level of the tower, with private living areas, separate dressing rooms and a south-facing loggia overlooking the gardens.

The estate is offered with its furnishings, including an important collection of antiques, adding another layer of value to a residence that is as much a private sanctuary as it is an architectural statement.
