Interview with Paula Saco, architect of El Lago Club

El Lago Club is the heart of the resort and has been designed to become an integral part of the landscape. The Club will offer non-motorized water sports on the lake, artificial beach, executive golf course, tennis and paddle tennis courts, and a wide variety of amenities. 

In the interview with Paula Saco, architect of El Lago Club, she discusses her vision for the design of El Lago Club and its current progress. She emphasizes that the design of the building is not just a construction, but a direct and respectful response to the unique topography of the surroundings, allowing the building to blend naturally with the landscape. Paula explains the careful process of selecting and relocating each natural element, such as trees and rocks: “every tree and every rock is selected, handpicked from this site and is later planted back again”, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and respect for nature at every stage of the development. 

El Lago Club: wellness and sports 

Paula previews in the video some of the areas of El Lago Club, such as the gym, a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a spa with sauna and a Turkish bath, overlooking the lake, as it is the main element of this building. In addition, next to the lake, there will be tennis and paddle tennis facilities, a natural sandy beach with shaded area, children's playground and exclusive cabins, as well as areas for non-motorised water sports such as kayaking, paddle surfing and water bikes. 

Currently, the structure is practically finished and the equipment is being assembled, painting is being completed and the exterior is being finished. The landscaping and the leisure area (tennis, paddle tennis, beach, cabanas) will be developed next. The architect stresses that rather than building, the aim is to reintegrate nature into the project and transform a semi-devastated area into a place that harbours biodiversity and is a symbol of refined tourism.
