Sotogrande is a relative new comer and is considered the more understated face of Costa del Sol luxury unlike its flashier neighbour Puerto Banús and the statelier Marbella which have been firmly on the tourist map since the early 1950s.
Located in the municipality of San Roque, Cadiz and just 25 kilometres from Gibraltar it is the most extensive private development on the Costa del Sol. Sotogrande was designed by Joseph McMicking in 1962 as a purpose built luxury development which today is home to some of the most magnificent beachside property throughout Spain, boasting recognition by the local government for outstanding architecture.
It is not simply the property which attracts wealthy international residents to the region, it’s a combination of design, landscaping and impressive views sweeping across the surrounding countryside, adjacent mountain range and across to Morocco. The development also has a nature reserve, abundant wildlife and birds and is set amongst the only natural marshland on the Spanish coast.
Lifestyle is the key to Sotogrande’s success and it’s fair to say that the pristine beaches and world class sports facilities are a major selling point. The development boasts five exceptional golf courses including Valderrama, host to the Volvo Master’s and the 1997 Ryder Cup. Plus it is internationally renowned for its polo tournaments, attended by UK royalty such as Sarah Ferguson and her two daughters. Plus a wide variety of exhilarating water sports activities, tennis, riding and daily sailing trips.
A tasteful and stylish beachside haven just a few minutes from the airport, what could be more enticing!
