Sotogrande, the iconic luxury and sporting retreat pioneered by Joseph McMicking six decades ago, is reinventing itself with a new project from the real estate developer (Sotogrande) controlled by the British fund Orion. Aqua, a dream villa designed by Ark, can be found in the exclusive La Reserva district, marking a milestone in the community's revival as an elite destination. This 2,534 m2 home costs €12 million and has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two toilets and a wide range of amenities.
Six decades have passed since visionary Filipino entrepreneur and philanthropist Joseph McMicking saw Sotogrande as an oasis of luxury and leisure in the Cadiz town of San Roque. Today, McMicking's legacy has been revived with the launch of Aqua, an iconic villa in the heart of La Reserva, Sotogrande's most exclusive district.
Managed by the British investment fund Orion, the real estate company has launched a project that promises to raise the bar for exclusivity and sophistication in the region. With a starting price of €12 million, Aqua is a monument to architectural refinement and supreme comfort.
Designed by renowned architectural firm Ark, Aqua offers an exceptional living experience. With seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two lavatories and a wide range of amenities including an indoor swimming pool with spa, an outdoor infinity pool, a gym, an eight-car garage, a wine cellar and a lift, this 2,534 m2 home exemplifies elegance and sophistication.
Located in The Fifteen, one of La Reserva's two most exclusive communities, Aqua blends seamlessly into the natural beauty and incomparable privacy of its surroundings. The community's fifteen plots, ranging in size from 4,500 to 5,000 m2, offer private access and panoramic views of a landscaped hillside designed by renowned landscape architect Jean Mus.
The launch of Aqua follows in the footsteps of Niwa, another luxury villa that went on the market for €22.5 million almost a year ago and forms part of The Seven, La Reserva's other gated development. This exclusive district is also home to plots in The Collection, overlooking the golf course, and Village Verde, with properties ranging from €850,000 to €3.5 million. In addition to its impressive residential facilities, La Reserva boasts an international school, an 18-hole golf course and a five-star resort.
With projects such as Aqua, Sotogrande is becoming an elite destination, where luxury, privacy and relaxation come together to offer an exceptional living experience on the Andalusian coast.
