Villa La Gaviota, one of the Costa Blanca’s most exceptional residences in Altea

Villa La Gaviota is an iconic contemporary coastal villa located in Mascarat, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Designed by renowned architect Alberto Rubio and built between 1998 and 1999, the residence is one of Rubio's celebrated "Bird Houses," inspired by the movement of birds in flight and the fluid connection between architecture, landscape, and the sea.

Situated on a private plot of 4,330 m², the villa offers approximately 1,113 m² of living space designed to maximize light, openness, and panoramic sea views. Its sculptural white forms, organic curves, terracotta details, and expansive terraces create a unique balance between contemporary architecture and Mediterranean warmth.

The property features five spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom in terracotta and marble, including an impressive master suite with spectacular views of the coast. Several of the guest rooms open directly onto private terraces, allowing each space to naturally connect with the surrounding landscape and the sea.

Villa La Gaviota is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, with multiple terraces, lush Mediterranean gardens, and two pools, including an infinity pool with sea views and a shallow pool intended for children. Tucked away among the rocks below the property is a private wine cellar, while a separate staff apartment accommodates permanent employees.

Well-maintained over the years, the villa remains a timeless architectural residence where art, nature, privacy, and Mediterranean lifestyle come together in harmony.
