The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
Sotogrande is located approx 20 minutes drive up the coast from Gibraltar, one hour south of Malaga and about half an hour south of Marbella. Sotogrande is not typical Costa del Sol - it is a peaceful and private sporting & holiday estate at the high end of the market - no high rise apartment blocks, no all night nightclubs, no 'sausage & chips' eateries! Whilst Sotoagrande is self contained for all you might need on your holiday, you may want to explore further afield. Sotogrande is near other well known cities in Andalusia. From here, take daytrips to Seville, Granada for the Alhambra, Rhonda, or Jerez, famous for its sherry Bodegas. Gibraltar with its duty free shopping, famous rock, monkeys and caves is only 20 minutes away. The shops, restaurants & nightlife of Marbella and Puerto Banus are only half an hour away.
