The private community of Sotogrande continues to maintain its status as one of the most elegant and exclusive resorts in Europe. It is a private, luxury residential gated development or "reserve" 20 minutes from Gibraltar and 40 minutes from Puerto Banus and Marbella. Although residential it has all the facilities you may want on your doorstep along with oodles of peace and quiet! It is built around five elegant islands with canals and bridges throughout the marina – often known as little Venice. It is located within easy reach of Gibraltar and Málaga Airports, which are currently both being developed and extended. Visitors are attracted by the area’s mild year round climate and outdoor life, its unique sophisticated yet understated lifestyle and its world ranking sports facilities including top international golf courses of Valderrama (the best course in Europe) Almenara, San Roque and Alcaidesa and the famous Santa Maria Polo fields. Sotogrande offers excellent nautical facilities and the local beaches are popular for a variety of water sports. Visit www.sotogrande.com for a film of this exclusive estate. Furthermore, the area is within easy reach of key Spanish cities such as Cádiz, Seville and Granada and it is only a 40-minute drive from Marbella and Puerto Banús. The infrastructure of the area is completely geared to year round living and the gated community provides safety and protection for residences and visitors.

This bright luxury first floor apartment with large communal private gardens and community pool has been built to the highest specification and is beautifully furnished to sleep six. The kitchen is fully equipped and the spacious lounge/dining room has patio doors onto a south facing terrace of 50m2. The master double bedroom has a marble en-suite and the two twin bedrooms also have private en-suite bathrooms. The property enjoys views of the marina from the twin bedrooms and a spectacular sea view over the gardens, river, conservation parkland and Gibraltar from the terrace. Located within five minutes of the beach, beach club, shops, restaurants, tennis, polo and golf clubs, the property is fully air-conditioned and includes two spaces in the private garage.

Sotogrande not only offers an ideal family holiday but also caters for those more active golfing holidays. The apartment is situated in the premier golfing location in Spain. Swimming, tennis, cycling, horse riding, polo, wind-surfing, water skiing, fishing and sailing are also all available locally and there is snow skiing in Spain’s premier resort of the Sierra Nevada only four hours drive away. Although all of the facilities are found within clustered centres within Sotogrande, the area itself is beautiful and huge, worth taking the uphill 20 minute drive from the old port up to The Almenara Hotel at the furthest point for coffee and a fabulous view over golf, countryside and sea.

How to get there: Most direct flight is from either Luton / Gatwick on Monarch / BA into Gibraltar www.ba.com (a 15 minute drive to Sotogrande). On arrival at Gibraltar is simplest to then take the 5 minute walk over the border control into Spain to La Linea (we recommend luggage with wheels as trolleys cannot be taken across!) and collect your hire car on the Spanish side. This will save a traffic queue. We recommend Crown car hire (www.aurigacrowncarhire.com/car_hire/). Alternatively for cheaper flights you can fly to Malaga or Jerez, both about 1 hr by car to Sotogrande.

The Apartment: Spacious entrance hall with corridors to bedrooms at the front and rear of the apartment. Walk through to dining room to accommodate eight and large lounge area with open fire place and full glass patio doors to 50m2 patio with further dining facilities and lounge area. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven and hob, microwave, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. The double master bedroom with en-suite has a patio door to the veranda and superb views. The two twin bedrooms both have en-suite facilities and views over the marina. Central heating and air-conditioning throughout the apartment with integral stereo sound system in every room. CD, DVD, video, TV, satellite and radio. Telephone, alarm, safe, all linen provided. Maid service twice weekly can be provided daily at an additional cost.
