Nestled within a privileged enclave just 20 minutes from the Gibraltar airport and 50 minutes from the Malaga and Jerez airports, Sotogrande is also only 30 minutes from Marbella and offers easy access to the fascinating cities of Seville, Granada and Cadiz.

Sotogrande offers numerous possibilities for sporting activities, with five golf courses, 11 world-class polo fields, tennis and paddleball courts, an equestrian centre, a spa, a golf academy, sailing facilities and a variety of activities for children. It also features a water sports marina, two beach clubs, the best hotels, a multicolour boardwalk and every type of service imaginable in a cosmopolitan setting, including restaurants, an international school, shops and banks.

The Sotogrande Reserve is a private club situated in a spectacular spot featuring marvellous views of both the mountains and the sea. With Golf Almenara, designer Dave Thomas has created a challenge even for the best golfers, with winding fairways, deep bunkers and greens that are on par with the world’s top courses. The Valderrama Golf Club, which hosted the Ryder Cup in 1997, is ranked the top course in Europe. Also highly regarded are the classic Real Golf de Sotogrande course and the impressive La Cañada golf course.

This paradise is also famous for its polo facilities. At the Santa Maria Polo Club, which plays host to some of the most prestigious championships in all of Europe, the best players from Spain and around the world gather for regular matches. The Summer Polo season is one of the most exclusive sporting events.

The water sports marina is one of the jewels in the Sotogrande crown, featuring numerous and varied marine activities. Among them are the top-notch regattas, which draw fans from around the world. Yet this marina is more than just a port – its flirtatious architecture, concealed roadways and plazas hide an intense lifestyle that is filled with fun and pleasure, restaurants and cafeterias, as well as shops of all kinds.

Sotogrande is more than a place to spend your summer. It is even more than just a place to live; Sotogrande is a lifestyle of its own.
