Sotogrande epitomizes the essence of sophistication and tranquillity.
Located in the San Roque municipal area, it is only 15 minutes from Gibraltar
Airport and one hour from Málaga International and Jerez Airports. Famous for its golf courses and polo fields, it has become an exceptional place to live or to
simply spend some time enjoying its appeal.
For
Golfers - this
really is a Golfer's Paradise. There are over 50 courses in the area, offering
spectacular views over the area’s varied landscapes, and down to the sea.
Valderrama, Sotogrande, San Roque, La Reserva, Finca Cortesin, Almenara,
Alcaidesa, Duquesa and Dona Julia and many more each offer excellent golfing
possibilities.
Polo - there's nowhere better to
see a game than the famous Rio grounds, dubbed the 'Wimbledon of polo pitches’ in Sotogrande.
Horseriding - lessons and hacks can be arranged
at the ‘Escuela de Arte Ecuestre’ in Estepona and also at the Equestrian Centre
at the San Roque Club de Golf. Why not play golf while the children ride! You
can also ride on the beach at Tarifa!
Waterskiing -
‘Cable Ski Marbella’ in San Pedro is great for learning to water-ski or for
those wanting to improve. The cable system pulls skiers around a lake and can
be set at different speeds for children and beginners.
Windsurfing and Kitesurfing- take a trip to Tarifa for the best windsurfing and
kiting but Alcaidesa and La Linea also offer many watersports.
Scubadiving - the
nearest centre is the Happy Divers Club at the Atalaya Park Hotel between
Estepona and Marbella.
Dolphin and whale watching - the Bay and Straits of
Gibraltar have a large population of Dolphins and Whales. There are boat trips
from La Linea, Gibraltar and Tarifa where you can see dolphins bow-riding
alongside the boats.
