Sotogrande is the luxury resort estate on the Mediterranean coast 20 minutes from Gibraltar and an hour and a half from Malaga.
Except Easter , July and August the estate is a very quiet and peaceful place to relax. At these times many Seville and Madrid families visit the estate relishing in its equipped beach restaurants, comfortable accommodation and privacy. The estate has a 24-hour security service. There are local supermarkets, and the nearest town is Estepona to the east and La Linea to the west. A car is essential.
Sotogrande is roughly 5,000 acres in size and has three golf courses, Valderrama, being the most famous for the Ryder cup and is possibly the best golf course in Europe. There are facilities for horse riding, polo, tennis, fronton, paddle tennis, sailing, and the Marina is the first important leisure harbour on entering the Mediterranean.
Sotogrande is one of the top venues in the world for polo, and the only place in Europe where the sport is played throughout the year. Throughout the summer months there are tournaments, mostly at weekends. Spectators are welcome and anyone requiring more information should contact the Santa Maria Club of Sotogrande.
Within Sotogrande lies the Guadiaro estuary protected natural area of 27 hectare of marshland on the west bank of the estuary at the mouth of the River Guadiaro. It is of particular interest to birdwatchers but anybody can enjoy a stroll along the wooden walkways.
