Tourist Information

Sotogrande is a quiet place based around a wonderful marina. Excellent restaurants and bars line the water's edge. Good taste has been protected here and there will never be high-rise developments. Its an ideal place to make base for golf holidays, being only a couple minutes away from Valderrama and other courses. With 300 days of sunshine every year, Sotogrande stays active all year round. There is also a wonderful beach with plenty of sport facilities, polo is very popular in the local area.

The port which was built in 1987 has all the facilities you would expect. It currently has 548 berths but this will expand to 1052 when the second phase of the development is ready for use. All the berths own 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 for activities such as jet-skiing.

Sotogrande is undergoing a constant improvement and expansion with new properties, new facilities and new golf courses springing up all the time. Over the next few years it is believed that this area will become number one of the Costa del Sol's most important leisure areas. Within a thirty minute drive of Sotogrande you have two luxury ports called: Puerto de la Duquesa and Estepona.

The marina of Sotogrande offers several restaurants, high-class bars and large hotels. There are important boat dealers and a handful of small shops. There is a market every Sunday and every 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 highway. 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.
