Sotogrande is where Andalusian charm meets international prestige. Designed from the outset as a luxury resort community, it’s a place where polo, golf, and yachting are everyday pursuits, and where privacy, space, and sophistication define the lifestyle. Whether you’re searching for a stylish marina apartment, a family-friendly villa, or a private hillside estate, Sotogrande delivers high-end living in a secure and serene setting.
Located on the western edge of the Costa del Sol, Sotogrande sits between Marbella and Gibraltar, in the province of Cádiz, offering peaceful seclusion while remaining close to key airports and business hubs.
In 1962, Filipino Freddy Melian, sent by Ayala Corporation, searched Spain’s Mediterranean coast for the ideal site for a luxury resort. After an extensive motorcycle journey, he discovered Finca Paniagua near Gibraltar. With support from Ayala’s leadership and Spanish authorities, the vision became reality in 1964 with the creation of Sotogrande—a now-iconic resort attracting thousands of high-end residents and sports enthusiasts.
Life in Sotogrande is deliberately low-key, exclusive, and exceptionally well curated. Here, wide boulevards, elegant landscaping, and spacious properties provide a sense of calm and order that’s hard to find elsewhere.
