Focus on the Sotogrande Estate
With five great golf courses, two first rate hotels, a marina and a wealth of sporting activities Sotogrande is perhaps best known as the home of the famous Valderrama golf course, a joy to play if you can afford the green fees! Situated just half an hour from the Costa del Sol with easy motorway access, it will take you just 45 minutes to reach Sotogrande from Malaga Airport and 15 minutes from Gibraltar Airport.
Sotogrande is a vast 6,000 acre estate located close to the Straits of Gibraltar offering dramatic Atlantic beaches and more gentle Mediterranean coves.
The marina at Sotogrande has an impressive sailing club and a wealth of excellent bars and restaurants as well as numerous sporting activities including tennis, horseriding and watersports.
Inland, the countryside lends itself to challenging golf courses, most of which are built on gently rolling hills.
The famous
San Roque course is just next door and just a little further away is the coastal course of Alcaidesa. All in all, plenty of choice for any keen golfer!
Lying within the Sotogrande estate is the Guadiaro estuary. To the west of the estuary lies a small protected natural area of marshland, providing a natural habitat for a variety of birds and is of particular interest to keen birdwatchers.
Sotogrande offers something for everyone. Whether you want to relax on the beach, enjoy the variety of sports available or to play some excellent golf, you will find plenty to choose from here.
For somewhere to stay, the 4 star superior Hotel Almenara set in beautiful countryside giving commanding views over the Dave Thomas designed Almenara Golf course, is built in traditional Spanish style with the rooms set in a "village" around the main hotel building. The excellent Spa is a main feature here and is a perfect place to relax after a round of golf.
The main restaurant offers international cuisine with an emphasis on Spanish and Mediterranean specialities, and there is a traditional Tapas bar for snacks as well as a more formal Piano bar.
Or, for somewhere a bit different try the sophisticated 4 star NH Sotogrande Hotel, which has been painstakingly renovated and refurbished in the theme of the 60’s with clean lines, bold, bright colours and even a couple of ‘groovy’ leather hanging chairs in the lobby. Very Emma Peel! A comfortable and stylish hotel, it represents great value for money.
The bedrooms are all a good size and well equipped and furnished, with either balconies or patios overlooking the gardens and the courses.
The outdoor swimming pool and gardens are the perfect place to relax on a golf free day, or why not make use of the free shuttle bus and visit the Spa at the Hotel Almenara.
