Villa DUNE is an exceptional turnkey villa project within The Fifteen, the highly private residential enclave situated in La Gran Reserva, La Reserva de Sotogrande.
Designed by Manuel Ruiz Moriche, co-founder and Creative Director of ARK Architects, the property has been conceived as a direct response to its natural surroundings. Taking inspiration from a sand dune shaped by the wind, its flowing curves and organic geometry follow the contours of the land, allowing the architecture to settle naturally into the landscape. The south-facing position has been carefully considered to maximise natural light and frame panoramic views across La Reserva, the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and the African coastline.
The villa occupies an impressive 4,500.90 m² plot and provides a total built area of 1,825.15 m² arranged over two floors. Natural stone, timber and extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing establish a warm and understated architectural language, while interior patios, landscaped courtyards and gardens introduce light and greenery throughout the house. The transition between the interior and exterior spaces is deliberately subtle, creating a continuous connection with the surrounding landscape.
The principal living areas are generous and open, with the kitchen, dining area and panoramic drawing room extending towards the terraces, gardens and outdoor infinity pool. A separate family room provides a more informal setting, while several home-office spaces allow the property to accommodate modern working requirements without compromising its residential character.
The published accommodation includes seven bedroom suites, among them a substantial principal suite and dedicated guest and staff accommodation. Each area has been positioned to provide privacy while retaining a natural connection with the gardens and views.
Leisure and wellness facilities form an integral part of the design. These include an indoor swimming pool, private spa, gymnasium, wine cellar and fireplaces, creating a complete retreat for year-round living. The villa also benefits from a lift and secure indoor parking for four vehicles. Its proposed specification incorporates aerothermal technology, solar panels, underfloor heating, air conditioning, double glazing and integrated home-automation systems.
The Fifteen is an exclusive community of only fifteen individual residences, each occupying a plot of approximately half a hectare. The properties are set within an informal parkland landscape designed by renowned French landscape architect Jean Mus, providing an exceptional sense of space, privacy and connection with nature.
The villa is conveniently positioned close to La Reserva Club, its golf course and private beach club, as well as Sotogrande International School, several internationally recognised golf courses, Sotogrande Marina and the wider amenities of the resort.
Villa DUNE represents a distinctive combination of architectural design, privacy and contemporary comfort in one of Sotogrande’s most prestigious residential settings.
