Guide to Sotogrande, Costa del Sol, Spain

 

 
A luxury location on the Costa del Sol, within Andalucia, very close to Gibraltar that is still growing and is fast becoming the place to be. Sotogrande is a quiet area based around a wonderful marina. Fine restaurants and bars line the water's edge. Good taste has been retained here and there will never be high-rise developments. It is an ideal place to make base for golf holidays, being just minutes away from Valderrama and other courses. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Sotogrande stays active all year round. There is also a wonderful beach with all facilities. Polo is also very popular in the local area.
   
The marina which was built in 1987 has all the facilities you would expect. It currently has 548 berths but this will swell to 1052 when the second phase of the development is completed. All the berths have the usual facilities such as electricity, telephone, fresh water and television, which all make for pleasurable sailing in the area. To complete the marina there are ample dry-dock facilities and provisions for activities such as jet-skiing.

   
The Sotogrande area is undergoing a constant improvement and expansion with new facilities, new properties and new golf courses springing up all the time. Over the next few years it is believed that this area will become one of the Costa del Sol's most important leisure areas.

 

Within a thirty minute drive of Sotogrande are the smaller, luxury ports of Puerto de la Duquesa and Estepona.

   
 

 

 

 

 

During the winter months, Sotogrande continues to thrive with its many major regattas that attract vast crowds. There are several top class sailing events that draw vessels from all over the coast. Ideally located with first class facilities, Sotogrande is fast becoming a top attraction for winter sailors.

 

Within the port of Sotogrande there are several high-class bars, restaurants and large hotels. There are several important boat dealers and a handful of small shops. There is a market on Sundays and Wednesdays featuring antiques and crafts. Part of Sotogrande is away from the port, along the main N340 highway. Here you will also find a selection of shops and bars as well as access to the main . The beach is long and wide and consists of soft, clean sand. There is a beach bar and the usual sun beds and showers

   
If you head along the N340 highway towards Malaga, within a couple of minutes of Sotogrande you will see on your right, a series of small coves with wonderful, secluded beaches. Whilst they have very few facilities, you can be assured of peace and quiet alongside calm, shallow waters.
