Overview
Originally created from five large farms
over 1,800 hectares, Sotogrande came
into being in the early 1960s as the first
planned country club environment in
Europe, complete with a long-term master
plan that allowed for the orderly
development of a collection of
residential communities, each one with its
own ambience and appeal. This is what
makes Sotogrande stand out from the
crowd, as it remains spacious, organised,
well laid-out and discreet with excellent
facilities.
Sotogrande ‘Alto’ is the naturally elevated
countryside region extending inland from
the coastal road. Elevation and orientation
dictate the views that can be enjoyed,
however it’s safe to say this is one of the
best spots for impressive panoramic views.
These can be unrivalled coastal views
stretching from Marbella to Gibraltar, the
mountain ranges of Africa, the surrounding
Sierras or golf courses and their lakes. This
area is popular with those looking for tranquillity and privacy yet with an elevated
outlook of the surrounding beauty.Easily
reached from exits 127 and 130 on the A7/
N340 highway and served by a network
of well-maintained roads within the area,
Sotogrande Alto lies less than 20 minutes
from Gibraltar Airport and just over 1 hour
from Málaga International Airport.
