Mas Alba

Sant Pere de Ribes, Spain

Four-bedroom home, close to Sitges & Barcelona

A rare combination of precision-built eco architecture, outdoor living centred around an 8×3m saltwater infinity pool, and immediate access to nature — five minutes from Sitges and the beach.

Most eco homes compromise on character. This one doesn’t. Built from cross-laminated timber with 22cm of natural wool insulation, it delivers a stable indoor climate year-round. The result is a home that feels as considered from the inside as it looks from the outside: double-height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a seamless connection between living spaces and the terrace and infinity pool beyond.

This home has been meticulously designed to offer a lifestyle of comfort, luxury, and sustainability. With every detail thoughtfully considered, it provides an extraordinary living experience in one of the most sought-after locations in the region.

 Property Highlights:

BESPOKE KITCHEN

Handmade and fitted to the space around a generous L-shaped island. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open directly onto the pool terrace, so the kitchen becomes the natural hub of indoor-outdoor living. The layout holds views across the dining area, main living room, and pool simultaneously — you’re never out of the loop. Premium appliances throughout, a hob with integrated extractor, a Quooker tap for instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, and storage designed so there’s a place for everything. Not an off-the-shelf solution — every detail considered.

Infinity pool, Mas Alba

INFINITY POOL

8 × 3m saltwater infinity pool overlooking the Garraf hills. A built-in bench seat makes it as much a place to linger as to swim. The kitchen and dining areas open directly onto the poolside patio via floor-to-ceiling sliding doors — so inside and outside stop feeling like separate decisions. Completed by an outdoor shower, landscaped garden, and dedicated poolside storage.

Master bedroom en-suite with large bath overlooking the pool

MASTER SUITE

Set back from the main living level for complete quiet, the en suite features a freestanding bath, separate shower, double sinks, and bespoke cabinetry with floor-to-ceiling doors framing a private internal garden. A balcony overlooks the pool, and a large walk-in wardrobe completes the suite.

Open-plan living, interior design

OPEN-PLAN LIVING

Kitchen, dining, and main living areas flow together as one generous space, yet each feels distinctly its own — cleverly zoned without walls breaking the sense of openness. Soaring 3.2m ceilings, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, and passive shading that keeps summer glare out without sacrificing light. A second living room downstairs adds flexibility — guest retreat, cinema, or kids’ space.

Office with a view

PANORAMIC OFFICE

A large, private workspace with uninterrupted views across Garraf National Park. The kind of office that makes it hard to close the laptop.

PRACTICAL LAYOUT


Double garage with storage, separate laundry room, and a dedicated coat and shoe room — thoughtful touches that make daily life easier.

SUSTAINABILITY AND SYSTEMS

Cross-laminated timber structure with 22cm natural wool insulation — energy-efficient by design, not by retrofit.

Solar panels + aerothermia (air-source heat pump) for low-cost, low-carbon heating and hot water year-round.

Underfloor heating throughout, combined with a cross-ventilation strategy that keeps the home cool in summer without air conditioning.

Grey water recycling + rainwater collection — reducing mains water dependency meaningfully, especially relevant for outdoor irrigation and bathrooms.

Passive solar design — oriented and shaded to maximise winter light and minimise summer heat gain.
