The Villa Las Sirenas wedding venue sits just outside Sotogrande in southern Spain. Located in a peaceful, tucked-away location, the villa’s striking, diverse architecture and richly toned facade create a stunning backdrop and an incredible colour palette for any wedding. The warm, reddish palace-style exterior creates a truly magical backdrop for any outdoor ceremony.

An Elegant Villa in Sotogrande – Las Sirenas Wedding Venue

If you’re dreaming of a relaxed yet luxurious celebration in southern Spain, a Las Sirenas Wedding in Sotogrande is a beautiful option to consider. As a wedding photographer and videographer based nearby, I’m always excited when couples choose this villa – it has a wonderful blend of Andalusian charm, privacy and space, making it ideal for destination weddings as well as local celebrations.

A private villa close to Sotogrande and the coast

Villa Las Sirenas is set in the countryside just a short drive from Sotogrande’s marina, golf courses and beach clubs. Although it feels peaceful and secluded once you pass through the gates, your guests are never far from the coast, restaurants or hotels. For those flying in from abroad, Gibraltar Airport is roughly half an hour away by car, and Málaga Airport is usually around an hour’s drive, which makes travel easy for family and friends flying in from the UK and further afield.

The villa itself has a grand, almost palatial feel, with warm-toned walls, archways, staircases and terraces surrounded by mature gardens and water features. It’s the kind of place where every corner offers a new backdrop, which is a dream from a photography and video perspective.

Romantic ceremony spaces outdoors

One of the biggest advantages of a Las Sirenas wedding is the variety of outdoor spaces you can use throughout the day. Many couples choose to hold their ceremony beneath the trees or by the water, where guests can sit in the shade while you exchange your vows. The surroundings feel intimate and personal, with nature, architecture and soft lighting all working together to create a beautiful atmosphere.

After the ceremony, the gardens are perfect for relaxed drinks and canapés while you mingle with your guests. I like to use this time to capture natural, unposed moments as everyone enjoys the setting – laughing by the pool, chatting on the terraces and exploring the paths around the villa. There are also plenty of quiet corners where we can slip away for a few couple portraits without you feeling too far from the party.

Flexible reception and party areas

When it comes to the reception, Villa Las Sirenas offers a lot of flexibility. You might choose a long outdoor banquet table lit with candles and festoon lights, a more formal seated dinner, or a mix of lounge areas and food stations around the pool and gardens. The villa can comfortably host larger guest lists while still feeling warm and welcoming.

As day turns into night, the villa really comes into its own. The reflections of the lights on the water, the glow from the trees, and the open-air setting all create a magical backdrop for your speeches, first dance, and party. From my perspective, the evening photographs and videos from this venue are always full of atmosphere and energy.

On-site accommodation and relaxed preparations

Another key advantage of a Las Sirenas wedding is the on-site accommodation. Several guests can stay at the villa itself, often close family and the bridal party. This makes the morning preparations much smoother and more relaxed – hair and make-up can take place on site, there is space for everyone to get ready comfortably, and I can easily move between the different rooms to document both sides of the story.

For those not staying at the villa, there are plenty of hotels, apartments and villas in the Sotogrande area, so your guests will have no trouble finding somewhere to stay nearby.

Capturing your Las Sirenas Wedding

If you are planning a Las Sirenas wedding and are looking for someone who already knows the villa and the Sotogrande area well, I’d be delighted to help. I specialise in natural, unobtrusive wedding photography and videography, focusing on real moments, genuine emotions, and all the little details that make your day unique.

From the quiet anticipation of your morning preparations to golden-hour portraits in the gardens and the joy of the dance floor late into the night, my aim is to create a visual story you can treasure for years to come. If Villa Las Sirenas feels like the right place for your celebration, get in touch and tell me more about your plans; I’d love to be there to capture it all.

Couples choosing Villa Las Sirenas in Sotogrande are often looking for a relaxed, elegant, near-the-coast celebration and want to know how the day will actually flow, from getting ready in the villa to where guests can enjoy the reception. Below is a set of FAQs on how my photography and video services fit in at each stage of the day.

Villa Las Sirenas Wedding Venue FAQs

Can the bride and groom both get ready at Villa Las Sirenas?
Yes. Las Sirenas typically has separate, stylish spaces where the bride and groom can get ready on-site. This arrangement is ideal for photography and video because it allows me to capture both stories without anyone having to travel between locations.

Is there a good area for bridal details and ‘getting ready’ photos?
The villa usually offers bright, tastefully decorated rooms with natural light, perfect for photographing dresses, shoes, invitations and makeup moments. I always arrive a little earlier to style and capture these details before the ceremony begins.

Can the wedding ceremony be held at the villa?
Yes, many couples choose to have the ceremony in the gardens or terrace areas with Sotogrande as the backdrop. I can position cameras and drones (where permitted) to capture the full setting, the aisle entrance, and guests’ reactions.

Is there enough space for a drinks reception and family photos?
Las Sirenas generally has outdoor areas that work perfectly for a relaxed cocktail hour. This is when I normally organise your family group photos quickly and efficiently so you can get back to your guests.

Can we have our couple photos taken on-site or nearby?
Absolutely. The villa setting, Mediterranean light and Sotogrande surroundings give us plenty of options for romantic portraits. I’ll guide you to the best spots at the best time of day so the light is flattering.

Does Las Sirenas work for an outdoor wedding dinner?
Yes, many couples set up their wedding breakfast/dinner outside. I make sure to photograph the table décor and styling before guests sit down, so you have a record of all the work that went into it.

Is there space for evening entertainment and dancing?
Most setups at Las Sirenas allow for a dancefloor area, DJ or live music. I can cover the speeches, first dance and party photos, and if you book video, I can capture the atmosphere and audio too.

Are guest facilities good for a destination wedding?
Yes, guests can enjoy the villa’s outdoor areas and nearby Sotogrande amenities. I’ll also capture candid guest moments throughout the day so you can see everyone who travelled to celebrate with you.

Can you work alongside our wedding planner or the villa’s coordinator?
Definitely. I’m used to working with planners and venue staff along the Costa del Sol and nearby Gibraltar area, so I’ll liaise with them to make sure timings work for photography and video.

Do you offer photography and video together for Villa Las Sirenas weddings?
Yes, and it’s highly recommended at this venue because of the views and layout. Photos and videos together tell the full story: prep, ceremony, reception, speeches and party.

Can you use a drone at Villa Las Sirenas?
When permitted and safe, I can capture aerial footage of the villa and ceremony area. This technique works brilliantly in highlight films and for showing the setting off to family back home.

How far in advance should we book you for a Villa Las Sirenas wedding?
Popular summer and autumn wedding dates are often booked quickly, sometimes a year or two in advance. If you already have the Las Sirenas wedding venue confirmed, it’s best to secure your photographer and videographer at the same time so we can plan the day’s coverage around the venue’s spaces and light.
