THE SPECIALISTS IN SOTOGRANDE

Sotogrande was founded in 1962 by Joseph McMicking who bought a collection of farms with the idea of creating a luxurious residential development by the Mediterranean. His vision was to build a meticulously planned development that was in harmony with the natural beauty of the land. The early planting of avenues of palm and conifer trees and sympathetic landscaping have combined to give the resort this feeling of exclusivity, and today Sotogrande is known throughout the world as an exceptional place to live.

With over 30 years experience, we know Sotogrande intimately and have firsthand knowledge of where to stay and what to do. We offer a hand-picked selection of villas, apartments and hotels, and can advise visitors on the extensive range of activities available, such as golf, tennis, sailing, riding, beach clubs and polo as well as the hotspots for eating and drinking. For those looking to buy property we have a comprehensive list of the latest villas and apartments that have just come onto the market.

There is an eclectic mix of architectural styles throughout the resort: traditional Andalucían; extravagant Moorish villas; and 21st century chic, which blend effortlessly with the varied landscape. Over the years it has attracted quite a cosmopolitan crowd of sportsmen, celebrities and even royalty, many of whom own property here and have enjoyed holidaying with their families for many seasons. The range of villas and apartments is extensive and there is also a choice of first-class hotels if you are looking for a shorter break.

On top of all of this you can enjoy the year round sunshine, excellent water sports, social life of the beach clubs and quality shopping of nearby Puerto Banus and Marbella. Others may journey inland to see more of true Andalucía, such as the white washed mountain village of Gaucin or further afield to majestic Ronda. The view from the Rock of Gibraltar is also worth a visit and if you have time we would recommend the whale and dolphin trips out into the Straits, where you might be lucky enough to spot Killer Whales, Sperm Whales or Fin Whales on their migration.

Whether you are looking for a luxury weekend break, a two week summer holiday or hoping to invest, Holmes Travel will ensure that your time in Sotogrande is relaxing and enjoyable.
