Community Amenities
The places, not the brochure. What Sienna is actually building, where each piece sits, and why it's there.
Sienna's amenities are built in phases. A few arrive in Phase 1 with Zone 1 — the reception, the bodega, the kioscos. Most of the community amenities arrive in Phase 3 with Zone 2 — the lake, Casa Club, Sienna Village, and the cultural Center. See the full master plan →
On the estate from day one
Reception & Estate Office
The first thing you see when you arrive. A palapa-roofed pavilion at the entrance of Zone 1 — the estate's front door, where owners and guests are received, where the on-site team works, and where the day-to-day of running the community is organised.
A single, visible point of contact for owners — a team you can walk up to, not a remote management company in another country.
Bodega — Café, Provisions & Lounge
Right next to reception: an open-air bodega with a small café, fresh provisions, and a lounge area. Coffee in the morning, basics so you don't have to drive into town, a place to meet a neighbour without leaving the estate.
Kioscos & Entry Plaza
A cluster of small thatched-roof kiosks around the entry plaza — flexible spaces for local artisans, occasional markets, and the events the community organises through the year.
Where Sienna becomes a community
The Lake
Sienna's central water feature — a natural-edged lake at the heart of Zone 2, with a swimming area, sunbed terraces, lily pads, and small thatched refuges around the shoreline. The Casa Club restaurant pavilion sits along one edge, looking out over the water.
The gathering point that organises the community — somewhere to swim before breakfast, read in the afternoon, meet friends for dinner.
Casa Club — Restaurant & Events Pavilion
The long curved-roof pavilion overlooking the lake. Farm-to-table restaurant, a private events space, and bar — designed to be the centre of community life on the estate. Green roof, open sides, framed views over the lake on one side and the gardens on the other.
Most ingredients come from Sienna's own gardens and the local producers around Las Terrenas.
Where you take guests, host birthdays, and meet other residents — where the estate's culinary identity lives.
Lakeside Refuges
Small thatched-roof refuges dotted around the lake — quiet spots to sit, read, or simply watch the light change. Sized for one or two people, designed to disappear into the landscape.
Sienna Village
Sienna Village is a planned ecolodge community within Zone 2 — short-stay ecolodges, a central square that hosts markets and events, and a cultural Center built around co-living, co-learning, and co-creating spaces. Roughly 1,575 m² built across 6,452 m² of land; a density well below the maximum allowed so most of the site stays green.
The bridge between Sienna and the rest of Las Terrenas — for short-stay guests, visiting family, cultural events, and small-scale residency.
The Ecolodges
Nine small ecolodges in total — four one-bedroom and five two-bedroom — stepping up the hillside on slender stilts so the land underneath stays intact. Around 45 m² (or 90 m² for the two-bedroom versions). Designed as low-impact short-stay accommodation for visiting family, guests of residents, and small groups attending events at the Village Center.
The Village Square
An open-air square between the ecolodges and the Village Center, built around a large existing ceiba tree. Stone amphitheatre steps double as seating for outdoor films, small concerts, weekend markets, or simply afternoon shade.
The Village Center — Cultural Hub
A circular building at the head of the square, organised around three spaces of roughly 200 m² each: a co-learning center with a digital lab and small auditorium, a co-creating workshop with workspace and storage, and a co-living space with a small kitchen and gathering room. Rammed-earth walls, curved metal roofs, and open colonnades keep it cool without air conditioning.
Village Services Pavilion
The communal back-of-house for Sienna Village — kitchen, dining, and shared services that support the ecolodges and any group event being hosted on the square.

Walk the land
Renders are renders. The best way to understand what Sienna is becoming is to see the site, the topography, and the work already underway in Zone 1.
