SANDRA ALDAO
Meet Sandra Aldao, the visionary founder and director of Palmera Estate, a premier real estate agency specialising in property sales and rentals in Sotogrande, Marbella, and Sierra Nevada.
Sandra’s journey is deeply rooted in the rich history of Sotogrande, as her grandparents, the King Hedingers, were among the earliest families to settle there from the Philippines, forging enduring ties to the region and its heritage.
Born in Spain, Sandra embarked on a global educational path, studying International Relations at the CIS in Madrid before completing her degree at the TEC de Monterrey in Guadalajara, Mexico. She also lived in Argentina, where she immersed herself in the worlds of polo and fashion, all the while maintaining a heartfelt connection to Sotogrande.
With a multicultural upbringing that included schooling in Spain, Austria, and the United Kingdom, Sandra is fluent in English, adding to her versatility and global perspective. In 2005, she returned to Sotogrande, igniting her passion for real estate. Today, Sandra boasts a vast network of clients who entrust her with their property needs, fostering close relationships that form the cornerstone of her business and drive her continual growth.
Beyond her professional endeavours, Sandra savours her leisure time, indulging in skiing adventures in Sierra Nevada, just two and a half hours away from Sotogrande, and kitesurfing escapades in Tarifa, a mere 35-minute drive. As a devoted mother of two daughters, she treasures family moments, alongside her love for travel and gatherings with friends. Sandra Aldao epitomises the spirit of Sotogrande—dynamic, cosmopolitan, and deeply connected to the vibrant tapestry of life.
