Víctor Valdés remains a key figure in FC Barcelona's history. The former goalkeeper marked an era and became the most memorable goalkeeper in the club's history. Although he currently lives away from the media spotlight, he remains connected to soccer as a coach.
Off the field, Valdés has built a stable family life with his wife, model and businesswoman Yolanda Cardona. The couple got married in the summer of 2017 and have three children: Dylan, Kai, and Vera. All three stand out for their resemblance to the former footballer.
This is Víctor Valdés's luxurious mansion
Yolanda, 42 years old, has left her modeling career to focus on her swimwear brand, Sandass Beach. While she was boosting her brand, Valdés was designing a family retreat in one of the most exclusive corners of the Barcelona coast: Gavà Mar.
There, facing the sea and surrounded by pine trees, the former goalkeeper commissioned the construction of a designer home from the architecture studio A-cero, led by Joaquín Torres and Rafael Llamazares. The house was built in 2014 and became the family's usual home.
Now, that unique house is back on the market. With a plot of 21,528 sq. ft. (2,000 m²) and a built area of 13,455 sq. ft. (1,250 m²) distributed over five levels, the house impresses with its avant-garde design.
The layout is designed for total comfort. It features a living room of more than 1,399 sq. ft. (130 m²), a kitchen of 430 sq. ft. (40 m²), and several terraces with open sea views. In addition, it has a main suite of 1,507 sq. ft. (140 m²) with a panoramic bathroom and direct access to the garden.
Added to this are a spa, sauna, gym, cinema area, playroom, storage rooms, a large outdoor pool, and a spacious garage with capacity for ten cars. Everything is designed to offer a comfortable, exclusive living experience adapted to the pace of a modern family.
Víctor Valdés's mansion is back on the market
This is not just a luxury house. It is the place where Víctor Valdés and Yolanda Cardona watched their children grow up, where they lived their daily lives as a family, far from the spotlight and surrounded by privacy.
The space, designed to offer well-being and privacy, reflects the lifestyle both chose after leaving behind the most intense stage of soccer. From then on, they opted for a quieter routine, focused on family.
Located just 12 miles (20 km) from Barcelona and 6 miles (10 km) from El Prat airport, this house represents a combination that's hard to match. Signature architecture, a privileged location, and a past linked to one of the legends of Spanish soccer.
Now, this gem is looking for a new owner. However, for the Valdés-Cardona family, it will always be much more than an exclusive property. After all, it was the setting where they began a new chapter, built their home, and lived through very important moments.
