Modern Travertine Villa Above the Mediterranean, San Roque

A striking contemporary villa carved into the hillside above San Roque, with uninterrupted sea views reaching Gibraltar and the African coastline.

La Roca de San Diego is defined by its extraordinary clifftop position and its architecture of honed travertine and glass. Set on a private plot of 1,000 m² just five kilometres above the port of Sotogrande, the villa is composed across three levels, each arranged around light, natural stone and the long view south over the Mediterranean.

The ground floor is the social heart of the home: an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space that flows without interruption onto the terrace, garden and infinity pool, where the water appears to meet the horizon. Upstairs, four bedroom suites each enjoy en-suite bathrooms, fitted wardrobes and panoramic coastal views, with the principal suite opening onto its own sea-facing stone terrace.

The garden level reveals a private wellness floor with heated indoor jacuzzi, sauna and gym, alongside a games lounge with bar, wine display and fireplace, an internal lift serving all floors, and a two-car garage. Terraced Mediterranean gardens of olive, lavender and rosemary step down the hillside, softly lit after dark.

Built with a genuinely sustainable approach, the villa features a 15 kW solar array, solar-powered underfloor heating and a private well. Moments from Valderrama, La Reserva, the Santa María Polo Club and the Sotogrande marina, this is a turnkey residence made for the Sotogrande way of life: private, unhurried and quietly spectacular.
