Description
Sotogrande is the most prestigious private residential development on the coast of Southern Spain, which was founded in 1962 by the visionary American entrepreneur Joseph McMicking.
The history of this unique place began with the purchase of five adjacent farms along the Mediterranean Sea with the aim of creating a discreet and luxurious retreat. The climate is exceptionally pleasant thanks to its location near the Strait of Gibraltar, resulting in sunny days that are cooled by the refreshing sea breezes of the Poniente and Levante.
The main attractions are the beautiful marina with its colorful apartments and the world-famous polo fields of the Santa María Polo Club where international tournaments take place. The local gastronomy offers a refined selection of Mediterranean dishes and international fusion, which are served in both chic beach clubs and elegant restaurants around the marina and the golf courses. For golf enthusiasts, Sotogrande is the absolute mecca of Europe, as it is home to the legendary Valderrama, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, and the exclusive La Reserva Club.
The residents form a cosmopolitan and discreet community of international entrepreneurs, aristocrats, and sports legends who prefer privacy and a family-friendly environment over outward show. The surroundings offer a magnificent view of the Rock of Gibraltar and the coast of Morocco, while the nearby cork oak forests of the Los Alcornocales natural park invite peace and reflection. Living in Sotogrande offers unparalleled advantages, such as a very safe and secure environment, excellent international schools, and a world-class sporting lifestyle in an oasis of greenery and tranquility.
