This three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment forms part of a new residential development in La Alcaidesa, an established gated urbanisation on the Costa de la Luz in the province of Cádiz. The home offers 119 m² of living space with a south orientation, overlooking the golf course, and is sold with a private garage and storage room. The project is under construction, with delivery indicated for the first quarter of 2028, subject to the usual building schedule. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa lies roughly 0.9 km away as the crow flies, and the A-7 motorway connects the area west towards Algeciras and east towards the Costa del Sol.
Within the immediate Alcaidesa, Sotogrande market, this apartment sits in the middle of the new-build price range. Altara Alcaidesa lists from €341,000 and Atria in Sotogrande from €423,000, while Adel San Roque starts at €549,000; the fixed price of €507,000 for a 119 m² three-bedroom unit works out at roughly €4,260 per square metre, with garage and storage included. Buyers comparing these options are effectively weighing position within the same corridor: La Alcaidesa offers frontline golf plots with lower density than central Sotogrande, at the cost of a slightly longer drive to the marina and its concentration of amenities. Compared with the broader Costa del Sol, this stretch of the Cádiz coast, the Costa de la Luz, trades the longer Mediterranean swimming season and the higher summer temperatures of Marbella and Estepona for lower density, Atlantic light and a marginally cooler average annual temperature of 18.3°C. The regional property market shows steady activity: 849 housing transactions per year in the municipality, 34,310 inhabitants and a tourism base of just seven hotels, indicating a residential rather than resort-driven market. Access considerations differ from the Costa del Sol norm: Gibraltar Airport at 10 km is unusually close for a Spanish coastal location, though its route network is limited, while Málaga at 88 km provides the main international gateway. Golf is the strongest common denominator across all four comparable projects; the difference lies in plot setting, this unit's golf-facing position with south orientation is the specific asset buyers should compare directly against sea-facing alternatives at similar prices in Estepona and Marbella.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Alcaidesa sits between Sotogrande and the coast, accessed via junction 124 of the A-7. The apartment has a frontline golf setting with views across the course, while the nearest beach is 0.9 km away in a straight line. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 10 km away, and Málaga Airport roughly 88 km, both in direct distance.
The layout provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 119 m², with a private terrace and covered outdoor space oriented to the south. Communal facilities include a swimming pool, gym, spa, coworking space and gardens. Fitted wardrobes, air conditioning, a lift and WiFi readiness cover day-to-day practical needs.
Construction is currently under way, delivered in two phases of 72 apartments each. The indicative completion date for this home is the first quarter of 2028, which is subject to change as works progress. Buyers can personalise certain finishes during the build stage, and each residence includes a private garage space and storage room.
The plot area recorded for the apartment is 29 m², which in practice means the outdoor space is limited to the terraces rather than a private garden. Parking is provided as a private garage space, not a carport or open bay. The development is mid-construction, so no immediate occupancy is possible before the indicated 2028 delivery.
This apartment fits buyers who want a new-build home in a quiet, low-density setting with golf and coast within walking or short driving distance, and who can plan around a 2028 delivery. A practical example is a couple seeking a second home that doubles as a future primary residence: the three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout accommodates visiting family, while the south-facing terrace and communal facilities support long stays outside the holiday season. Families relocating to the Sotogrande area for schooling are another realistic group, given two international school campuses within 7 km. Buyers who need year-round walkable urban infrastructure, extensive shopping, nightlife, dense public transport, will find the area limited: public transport exists, with 9 lines and 8 stops, but the geography of the coast makes a car effectively necessary. The home also suits golf players specifically, since Alcaidesa Links and La Hacienda Links both lie within 1.3 km. It is less suited to buyers wanting immediate rental income from day one, as no income is possible until completion, or those seeking a large private garden, since the plot area is limited to terrace space. Frequent travellers may value the proximity of Gibraltar Airport at roughly 10 km straight-line distance, with Málaga as the larger alternative about 88 km away for long-haul connections.
As a new-build project delivered in phases, the construction follows current Spanish building regulations, which set baseline requirements for insulation, ventilation and thermal performance. The homes come with air conditioning installed, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and a lift serving the building. Large windows and expansive terraces are central to the design, aligned with the south orientation to maximise natural light and passive solar gain in winter. Finishes are described by the developer as eco-conscious materials in soft, natural tones, with clean-lined architecture intended to integrate with the landscape; these claims should be verified against the specification list in the purchase contract, which will state exactly which materials, appliances and fittings are included. One practical advantage of buying at this stage is the personalisation option: buyers can typically select kitchen units, floor finishes and bathroom tiling from the developer's range during the build, which is not possible once a home is completed. The private garage and storage room are included in the purchase, adding secure parking and out-of-sight storage for golf equipment, bicycles or seasonal items. Communal areas, pool, spa, meditation area, gym, beach volleyball court, running circuit, coworking space, pool bar, picnic area, playground and paddling pool, are part of the development's shared fabric and will be managed by the community of owners once handed over, with community fees applying. As with all off-plan purchases in Spain, the precise delivery date, finish specifications and snagging process are governed by the contract, and buyers are advised to have legal review of both before signing.
The asking price for this apartment is €507,000, a fixed price rather than a starting price. That figure positions the home above comparable new-build offerings in the immediate area: Altara Alcaidesa starts from €341,000 and Atria in Sotogrande from €423,000, while Adel San Roque begins at €549,000. The price includes a private garage and storage room, which are sometimes charged separately in competing projects. The home is one unit within a phased development of 144 apartments in total, so availability of other layouts, including two-bedroom options and penthouses, may exist alongside this three-bedroom type. As the building is still under construction, purchase takes place off-plan, which typically involves stage payments rather than a single transfer at signing.
Daily life here revolves around the combination of a gated residential setting and immediate access to sport and coast. The apartment faces south over the golf course, meaning the terrace receives sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, with the sea visible in the distance from upper floors and certain angles. Mornings can plausibly start with a round on the adjacent Alcaidesa Links course, 1.1 km away as the crow flies, or a walk down to Playa de La Alcaidesa, just under a kilometre in a straight line with a moderate gradient of about 4.8% on the route back up. The immediate surroundings are low-density and residential; within 2 km there are five restaurants and one pharmacy, so a car remains the practical way to do larger grocery runs or reach a wider choice of shops. The Sotogrande marina and its port, 7.1 km away, provide the nearest concentration of dining, sailing and evening activity, while La Atunara fishing port at 6.2 km offers a more local, less polished alternative. For families, schooling is a genuine strength of the area: Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus lies 3.7 km away and the main campus 6.5 km, and the wider municipality counts thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area. Out of the summer season the urbanisation quietens considerably, tourism infrastructure here amounts to seven hotels with just over a thousand beds, so winter months feel residential rather than resort-like. Communal life within the development itself, with pool, gym, spa, coworking and playground, is designed to carry much of the social and recreational routine without needing to leave the gates.
The setting is a gated urbanisation beside the golf course, 43 m above sea level, which gives the area gentle elevation without steep terrain; the gradient to the beach is a moderate 4.8%. Within a 2 km radius, daily amenities are modest, five restaurants and a pharmacy, which keeps the neighbourhood quiet but requires a car for full shopping. The immediate recreational offer is unusually dense for such a small community: 66 sports facilities in the wider area, two golf courses within 1.3 km, a public swimming pool and sports centre 0.3 km away, and sports pitches at 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 the most complete. Electric-vehicle owners have charging options at IONITY Sotogrande (5.8 km), Punto Ribot (7.0 km) and Puente Mayorga (8.2 km). Viewpoints such as Mirador del Higuerón, 3.2 km away, offer walking routes close to home. The municipal context is substantial: 34,310 inhabitants (INE, 2025), 849 housing transactions per year and a median provincial income of €15,750, figures that point to an active local property market rather than a purely seasonal one.
The map shows the apartment's position on the golf course at La Alcaidesa, with the beach 0.9 km to the south and the A-7 running just inland. Note that distances shown are straight-line; Sotogrande marina, the international schools and the motorway junction all sit within a 7 km radius.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Alcaidesa occupies the western edge of the Sotogrande sphere of influence, on the Cádiz side of the boundary with Málaga province. This places it at the transition between the Costa de la Luz and the Costa del Sol: Algeciras and Gibraltar lie 16 km and 10 km to the west, while Marbella is 49 km east and Málaga airport roughly 88 km. The position suits buyers who want the golf, marina and polo infrastructure associated with Sotogrande at a lower density than the resort itself, while retaining road access to both coasts via the A-7. Jerez de la Frontera, 88 km away, is the nearest large inland city.
The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa is 0.9 km away in a straight line, reachable on foot in roughly 10-15 minutes depending on route and pace, with Playa de La Atunara 3.3 km further along the coast. Algeciras, with 121,957 inhabitants, lies 16 km away by direct distance and provides the nearest full urban centre. Marbella is 49 km away and Jerez de la Frontera 88 km, both straight-line figures, actual driving distances are longer. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 10 km away, with a driving time of around 25 minutes according to the developer's description, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 88 km in a straight line and serves the widest range of international routes. Road access runs through junction 124 of the A-7 coastal motorway, connecting the area west towards Cádiz province and east towards the Costa del Sol. Public transport consists of 9 lines with 8 stops in the locality, useful as a supplement but not a substitute for a car.

The climate data for the area shows an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, typical of the Atlantic-influenced Costa de la Luz, which runs slightly cooler than the Costa del Sol further east. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, shorter than on the Mediterranean coast, reflecting the Atlantic water. Elevation is a modest 43 m above sea level, so the terrain is gentle, and the 4.8% gradient to the beach is manageable on foot for most people. The south orientation of the apartment means the terrace captures the midday and afternoon sun throughout the year, with the strongest sun hours in summer and bright but milder conditions in winter. The combination of low elevation and open golf-course frontage means the home sits in an exposed position, so sea breezes are a constant feature, pleasant in the hotter months, worth noting in winter when winds come from the Atlantic.

Playa de La Alcaidesa, at 0.9 km straight-line distance, is the nearest beach, an open stretch of the Costa de la Luz known for its dark sand and Atlantic character rather than the sheltered coves of the Mediterranean. Playa de La Atunara, 3.3 km away, sits by the fishing port of the same name. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of the location: Alcaidesa Links is 1.1 km away and La Hacienda Links Golf Resort 1.3 km, both walkable or a two-minute drive, with the San Roque Club 3.8 km further inland. Water-based recreation centres on the three marinas, La Atunara (6.2 km), Sotogrande (7.1 km) and Campamento (8.6 km), with Sotogrande also known for its polo clubs and sailing. For walking and nature, Mirador del Higuerón viewpoint lies 3.2 km away. Within the development itself, residents have a communal pool, spa, gym, beach volleyball court and running circuit, reducing dependence on external facilities for everyday exercise.
