Welcome to El Respiro

A Peaceful Coastal Hideaway in Sotogrande

With its privileged beachside location, El Respiro was designed with laid-back living in mind.

The property’s 11 bedrooms are hidden away in four beachy cottages, each with a small living room and dining area. Ibiza-style interiors blend modernity with a natural aesthetic, perfectly in keeping with the coastal setting.

The sandy shores of Torreguadiaro are just a short walk from the villa, along with the well-loved Sotogrande hotspot, Chambao Beach Bar.  Known for its live music and vibrant atmosphere, summer afternoons can be whiled away here dancing barefoot in the sand with a cocktail in hand.

Boho charm and understated elegance

Occupying a 1,500m2 plot opposite the sleepy village church, El Respiro’s accommodation was recently remodelled to a high standard, each of the cottages has two or three double bedrooms, along with an open plan kitchen/dining space and bespoke kitchen.

The cottages are grounded in a simple and welcoming aesthetic, with warm neutral colour palette and textured furnishings such as shaggy sheepskin chairs, oversized rugs and comfortable modular sofas.

The property features several private terraces, shaded with olive trees and sail-shades, with a large outdoor dining space for togetherness at mealtimes.

A separate villa in the lower garden offers a multi-purpose space, perfect for wellness sessions or company presentations. Its 10m x 3m dimensions can accommodate up to 22 yoga mats and a range of fitness equipment.

Also featuring a Smart TV mounted on wheels and a flip chart, this area can similarly be transformed into a workshop for group meetings. It can even be used as a private nightclub thanks to silent disco equipment with headphone kits for up to 25 guests, offering a quirky alternative for evening entertainment.

Serene communal spaces enhanced by sea views

Outside, Mediterranean gardens planted with rosemary, olive and citrus trees encircle a soft water pool, set against a backdrop of sea and sky. The communal terrace is an ideal space for large groups to congregate, whether enjoying a leisurely breakfast, an afternoon siesta, or an evening under the stars.

For cooler evenings, the terrace features 2 exterior heaters and fire pit with built in grill, perfect for gathering round post-sunset with a glass of wine.
