Sotogrande is one of the most exclusive developments in Europe, situated in southern Spain. It is a popular sophisticated development that was meticulously planned in the 1960s in Costa del Sol, and is an excellent destination for luxury holidays in Spain.
A Sotogrande holiday offers relaxation in luxury surroundings with all the comfort, facilities and recreational activities for visitors. It boasts the tranquility and privacy that other popular sunny destinations in Costa del Sol cannot provide, and is surrounded with great natural beauty of the ocean plus the forested foothills of the Sierra Almenara. Renowned for its modern marina and exceptional golf courses, Sotogrande is a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of life. It has a beautiful beach with a wide range of water based activities with first class accommodation options, restaurants and shopping facilities.
The climate in Sotogrande is, like the rest of Costa del Sol, one of the top reasons why it is so popular. With glorious sunshine for over 300 days every year, a holiday in Sotogrande can be enjoyed at any time. Although summer months are very popular, holidays right throughout the year are possible, especially during the cold days of British winter.
Sotogrande is a golfer’s paradise with championship courses just a hop step and jump away from each other. The Valderrama is world class, and has played host to Volvo Masters and the Ryder Cup in the past. Other golf courses in Sotogrande include the Real Club de Golf, Club de Golf La Canada, La Reserva, Almenara Golf and the San Roque Club. In addition to golf, there are also good facilities for tennis, squash and horse riding.
The Sotogrande beach is blessed with clear blue waters that are well maintained by local authorities. Most of the beaches here are sandy with soft golden sand, with an assortment of beach bars available for refreshments. The Sotogrande marina is the heart of Sotogrande, and the first port of the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, you can even see Morocco over the sea from Sotogrande! There are several water sporting activities available here such as sailing and kayaking. Along the waterfront by the marina, lies a host of chic restaurants and elegant bars, making it a divine location for a night out in Sotogrande with friends and family.
Shopping in Sotogrande is exciting; there are souvenir and gift shops, as well as markets selling antiques and crafts. Accommodation options are plentiful, with several hotels to stay at as well as luxury villas or apartment to rent while on holiday.
