This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in La Alcaidesa, a gated community within the municipality of San Roque, in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia. The property was completed in 2007 and offers 98 m² of living space, a south-facing orientation with sea views, and both a covered and private terrace. A parking space in the underground garage is included as an inseparable part of the property. The asking price is fixed at €275,000. The complex lies within walking distance of Playa de La Alcaidesa, roughly 0.9 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Alcaidesa is an affluent gated urbanisation near Sotogrande, accessed via junction 124 of the Autovía A-7 coastal motorway. The apartment lies in a front-line beach complex, approximately 0.9 km straight-line from Playa de La Alcaidesa. Gibraltar Airport is around 10 km away as the crow flies; Marbella lies roughly 49 km to the east along the coast.
The home offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite, and 98 m² of living area. The south-facing orientation supports daylight on the terraces for much of the day, and the sea views are a fixed feature of the position. A communal pool and communal gardens are available within the gated complex, and an underground parking space is included with the property.
This is an existing property, completed in 2007, not a new-build development. The construction status is described as key-ready and the condition as good. Interior finishing is partially complete: the kitchen is partially fitted, air conditioning is pre-installed rather than fitted, and the property is sold without furniture. Buyers should budget for completing these elements.
The property does not include a private pool or private garden; both pool and garden are communal. It is sold unfurnished, with a partially fitted kitchen and only pre-installed air conditioning. The route to the beach has a moderate gradient of about 4.8%, which may matter to some residents. There are two bedrooms only, and no lift details or storage room are specified in the available data.

This apartment fits a buyer seeking a coastal base near Sotogrande at an entry-level price point for the area, in exchange for accepting an 2007 build and partial finishing. It suits a second-home buyer who wants a lock-up-and-leave property within a gated complex, where maintenance of gardens and pool is handled communally. It also fits small households: a couple or a family with one child, given the two bedrooms and ensuite layout. Golf players benefit most from the location, with two links courses within about 1.3 km straight-line. Buyers who intend to rent the property seasonally may find the front-line beach position and sea views relevant, though rental yield depends on the four-month core swimming season and local demand. It is less suitable for buyers who want a private pool, a large garden, or a fully turnkey interior without further expenditure. The unfurnished state and partially fitted kitchen mean moving in requires an investment in furniture and completion of the kitchen. A car is effectively necessary: while 8 public transport stops across 9 lines exist in the wider area, everyday shopping and services are not within comfortable walking distance. Buyers prioritising space over position may find 98 m² modest, and those with limited mobility should consider the moderate gradient toward the beach. For owners flying in and out, the proximity of Gibraltar Airport at roughly 10 km straight-line is a practical advantage.
The building dates from 2007, which places it in a generation of Spanish coastal construction with conventional cavity walls, rendered facades and aluminium or PVC window frames typical of that period. The interior images show an empty bedroom with a wooden wardrobe with sliding doors, tiled bathrooms with a shower, sink and water heater, and a corridor with built-in closet storage. The condition is described as good, meaning no structural or significant defect is noted in the source data, though an 2007 property will show age in fittings and finishes. The kitchen is partially fitted, so appliances and some cabinetry will need to be added or replaced by the buyer. Climate control is pre-installed for air conditioning, meaning ducting and connections are in place but the units themselves are not included; this is a moderate expense to complete. A fireplace is present, providing supplementary heating for the cooler winter months, when average temperatures dip well below the annual mean of 18.3°C. The ensuite bathroom gives the main bedroom independent facilities, and the second bathroom serves guests and the second bedroom. Outdoor finishes include a covered terrace, usable in light rain and strong sun, plus an open private terrace. Security-related infrastructure includes the gated complex entrance. Parking is in an underground garage, protecting the vehicle from sun and salt air. No data is available on the energy performance of the home, on double glazing, or on the thermal insulation standard applied; these points should be verified during a viewing.
The property is an existing home with a fixed asking price of €275,000; it is not part of a new-build price list and the price is not a starting figure. For context, new-build projects nearby are marketed from higher levels: Altara Alcaidesa in Sotogrande from €341,000, Atria in Sotogrande from €423,000, and Adel San Roque in Sotogrande from €549,000. The asking price for this apartment reflects its 2007 construction date, partial kitchen fit-out and unfurnished condition. Completion dates are not applicable as the home is key-ready; transfer can in principle take place once the purchase process is finalised.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around a compact, coastal routine. The south-facing position means the covered terrace can be used for breakfast in the sun, while the private terrace extends the living space outdoors for most of the year. With an average annual temperature of 18.3°C and a swimming season of around four months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, outdoor use of the complex is realistic from late spring into early autumn. The communal pool at Piscina Loma del Rey lies about 300 m away as the crow flies, so a swim is a short walk rather than a car journey. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, sits roughly 0.9 km away in a straight line; on foot, the moderate gradient of about 4.8% means a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk down and a longer walk back up. The immediate area is quiet and residential. Within 2 km there are five restaurants and one pharmacy, which covers basic daily needs but not full weekly shopping; a car remains the practical way to reach larger supermarkets and services in San Roque, Sotogrande or Algeciras, about 16 km away. The gated character of the urbanisation means less through-traffic and a lower noise level, which suits residents seeking calm outside the summer months. Two golf courses, Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km and La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km straight-line, are close enough for a regular golf routine, while the beaches and marinas around Sotogrande, roughly 7 km away, provide weekend outings. The municipality records 849 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market.
The surroundings combine residential calm with a practical coastal infrastructure. Within 2 km of the property there are five restaurants and a pharmacy, covering day-to-day needs at neighbourhood level. Larger facilities sit slightly further out: two health centres serve the wider municipal area, and schooling includes 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools, with international options such as Sotogrande International School San Roque Campus at 3.7 km and Sotogrande International School at 6.5 km straight-line. For food shopping and administration, San Roque town and Algeciras, about 16 km away, are the realistic destinations by car. Leisure infrastructure is dense for such a quiet setting: 66 sports facilities are recorded in the area, including the municipal pool and sports courts at Pista Deportiva Vista Hermosa (3.3 km) and Venta Melchor (3.6 km). Three marinas lie within 9 km, with Puerto de Sotogrande at 7.1 km offering the widest range of maritime services. Tourism in the area is moderate, with 7 hotels and 1,017 beds, which keeps the urbanisation comparatively quiet outside peak weeks. Electric-vehicle charging is available at IONITY Sotogrande (5.8 km) and two further points within 8.2 km. The municipal population of 34,310 supports a stable level of services year-round rather than a purely seasonal economy.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Alcaidesa occupies a specific niche on the western Costa del Sol: it is close to the prestige of Sotogrande and its marina, yet priced below it, and it lies at the Atlantic-adjacent end of the coast near Gibraltar and Algeciras. Marbella, 49 km east, represents the glamour end of the coast with higher price levels; Algeciras, 16 km west, is the working port city providing services and ferry connections. Jerez de la Frontera, at 88 km, is the nearest large inland city. The municipality of San Roque, with 34,310 inhabitants, combines this coastal strip with historic town quarters.
Key distances, measured in a straight line, are as follows: Playa de La Alcaidesa at 0.9 km, Playa de La Atunara at 3.3 km, Alcaidesa Links golf course at 1.1 km, La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km and San Roque Club at 3.8 km. Puerto de Sotogrande marina lies 7.1 km away and Puerto Pesquero de La Atunara 6.2 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 10 km away, an unusually short distance by Spanish coastal standards, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies about 88 km to the east, giving a second flight option with a longer drive. Access by car is via junction 124 of the A-7 motorway, which connects westward to Algeciras and the port connections to Morocco, and eastward along the coast toward Estepona and Marbella at 49 km. Public transport exists in the wider area with 8 stops across 9 lines, but service frequency is limited; a car is the practical mode of transport for daily life. Road distances are longer than the straight-line figures quoted.

The climate is Mediterranean with an Atlantic influence, giving an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, mild winters and warm but not extreme summers compared with the eastern Costa del Sol. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, roughly June to September. At 43 m above sea level the apartment sits on the lower slope of the coastal hills; the 4.8% gradient toward the beach is moderate, meaning sea views from the terraces are plausible while walking to the shore involves a gentle descent and a steady climb on the return. The natural setting combines beach and greenery: the Mirador del Higuerón viewpoint at 3.2 km offers elevated coastal panoramas, and the links golf courses nearby border protected dune and coastal landscapes. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, so the outdoor season extends well beyond the swimming months, with terraces usable for most of the year given the south-facing orientation.

The closest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 0.9 km away as the crow flies, an unbroken stretch of dark Mediterranean-Atlantic sand characteristic of this coast. Playa de La Atunara at 3.3 km offers an alternative near the fishing quarter of La Línea. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of the location: Alcaidesa Links at 1.1 km and La Hacienda Links at 1.3 km straight-line place two courses within a five-minute drive, with the historic San Roque Club at 3.8 km as a third option. Water sports and boating are served by three marinas within 8.6 km, including Puerto de Sotogrande, one of the most established marinas on this section of coast. On land, the municipal pool at 0.3 km allows year-round swimming, and the 66 recorded sports facilities in the area cover tennis, padel and general training. For walking and cycling, the coastal path network and the viewpoint at Mirador del Higuerón provide routes with sea views.

Within the immediate region, this apartment sits at the accessible end of the price range. New-build projects nearby are marketed at clearly higher entry points: Altara Alcaidesa in Sotogrande starts at €341,000, Atria at €423,000, and Adel San Roque at €549,000. Against those figures, the fixed €275,000 asking price for 98 m² reflects three factors: the 2007 construction date, the partial finishing, and the resale rather than off-plan status. For buyers weighing the difference, the trade-off is essentially newer construction, modern specifications and developer warranties on one side, versus a lower entry price, an established community and immediate availability on the other. The location itself is shared with the more expensive projects, which is the main argument for considering a resale here: the beach, the golf courses at 1.1 and 1.3 km, the marinas of Sotogrande and the proximity of Gibraltar Airport are common assets of La Alcaidesa regardless of the age of the building. Further afield, the comparison shifts. Sotogrande's port area carries the highest price levels on this stretch of coast, driven by marina-front property and large villas. Marbella, 49 km east, offers a larger year-round economy and a wider property market at generally higher average prices, but with a busier coastal strip. Algeciras, 16 km west, is considerably cheaper but urban and industrial in character rather than residential-resort. La Alcaidesa occupies the middle ground: quieter than Marbella, more affordable than Sotogrande, and far more residential than Algeciras. The municipal market records 849 transactions per year, and the median income in the province of €15,750 indicates that international buyers operate in a different price segment from much of the local population, which supports the rental and resale potential of well-located properties. The four-month swimming season is shorter than on the eastern Costa del Sol due to Atlantic water inflow, which tempers both summer heat and the seasonal rental window.
