This two-bedroom apartment is located in Sotogrande Costa, within the marina area of San Roque in the province of Cádiz. The property offers 92 m² of built space with three bathrooms, a terrace and a balcony, situated on the second floor of a building with lift access. It is offered at a fixed asking price of €710,000 as an existing home completed in 2002, sold with a private parking space and a storage room. The complex includes an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, communal gardens, a gym and a sauna. The apartment is west facing and suitable for buyers considering a renovation project in an established residential setting.
Within Sotogrande and its surroundings, this apartment competes on location rather than newness. New-build projects in the wider area start at clearly lower entry points: Altara Alcaidesa from around €341,000, Atria in Sotogrande from approximately €423,000 and Adel San Roque from about €549,000. Against these, the €710,000 asking price for a 92 m², two-bedroom unit from 2002 in need of renovation is a premium that buys position, a front-line beach complex setting on Avenida de la Marina, steps from Puerto de Sotogrande and its year-round restaurant and shop offering. Buyers comparing options should therefore weigh two trade-offs. First, new-build apartments in Alcaidesa and San Roque generally offer modern specifications, energy performance and warranty coverage, but sit further from the marina and beach core of Sotogrande. Second, this property's condition means an additional renovation budget on top of the purchase price, while its communal facilities, heated indoor pool, gym, sauna, match or exceed those of many newer developments of a similar size. The western Costa del Sol market differs from the Marbella, Estepona corridor: volumes are lower, with around 849 housing transactions per year in the area, and the buyer profile leans towards established international residents, golf and polo participants, and second-home owners using Gibraltar Airport (17 km straight-line) as their gateway. Price growth in Sotogrande has historically been steadier than in the eastern Costa del Sol, reflecting limited new supply and the area's low-density planning restrictions. For buyers whose priority is walking distance to the marina and beach, the stock of front-line complexes is finite, which is the structural argument for this property's positioning despite its age and renovation requirement.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands on Avenida de la Marina in Sotogrande Costa, close to the marina of Puerto de Sotogrande at 0.7 km as the crow flies. The Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 1.7 km away, and the Santa María Polo Club at 0.9 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 17 km in a straight line, while Málaga Airport sits roughly 82 km distant.
The layout combines two bedrooms with three bathrooms across 92 m² of built area, together with a terrace and balcony for outdoor use. A private parking space and storage room are included. Communal facilities comprise an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, gardens, a gym and a sauna. Air conditioning is installed, and the west-facing orientation provides afternoon and evening light.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2002 and the apartment is key-ready in its current condition. The interior is presented as suitable for renovation, allowing buyers to update finishes to personal preference. Any completion or renovation dates given by sellers remain indicative and depend on the terms agreed in the purchase process.
The property offers two bedrooms within 92 m², which limits space for households needing three or more bedrooms. The interior requires renovation, which involves additional cost and planning beyond the asking price. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The west-facing orientation means direct sunlight arrives later in the day rather than in the morning.
This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. A buyer seeking a second home near the marina who wants to control the finishing standards may value the renovation opportunity: the structure, layout and communal facilities are in place, while interiors can be modernised to personal specification. Retirees or part-time residents may find the low-maintenance format attractive, two bedrooms with three bathrooms, lift access, secure parking and an on-site gym and heated indoor pool reduce the practical burden of a larger villa. Families using the home seasonally may weigh the proximity of international schools at around 6 km and the flat, walkable marina environment, though the 92 m² footprint suits smaller households or holiday use rather than permanent family occupation. Buyers focused purely on move-in readiness should note that renovation is part of the proposition here; the asking price does not include updated interiors. The property also suits buyers who prioritise location over interior condition, front-line beach complexes near Puerto de Sotogrande are a limited category, and the combination of marina, beach and golf within two kilometres is specific to this pocket of the coast. Conversely, buyers requiring three bedrooms, a private pool or morning sun on the terrace may find the specification limiting.
The building dates from 2002 and is described as being in good general condition. As an existing home, the construction standards reflect the period: a conventional Spanish residential build with lift access, air conditioning and a west-facing orientation. The apartment includes three bathrooms, which is notable for a two-bedroom unit and allows an en-suite arrangement plus a guest bathroom. Current finishes are expected to require updating, and the property is explicitly marketed as a renovation opportunity. Buyers assessing build quality should arrange a technical inspection covering electrical installations, plumbing, windows and humid areas, particularly given the coastal position and the age of the systems. The communal areas are a significant part of the overall quality proposition: the complex maintains an outdoor swimming pool, a heated indoor pool, landscaped gardens, a gym with cardio equipment and a sauna, facilities that extend usability through the cooler months and reduce the need for external memberships. The included parking space and storage room add practical value in a marina district where parking can be constrained during high season. Renovation works in a community building are subject to community rules, so any planned modifications to wet rooms, terraces or façade elements typically require approval from the owners' community before commencement.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €710,000 as an existing home. This price reflects a completed property from 2002 in a marina-side complex with extensive communal facilities, but the interior is intended for renovation, so buyers should budget separately for updating works. For comparison, new-build apartments in the wider Sotogrande area currently start from approximately €341,000, with several projects ranging up to around €549,000. The property includes a private parking space and storage room within the asking price. Availability details, community fees and annual taxes can be requested through the contact form; delivery of the property after purchase is subject to the standard notary and registration process.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its position between the marina and the beach. Puerto de Sotogrande, at 0.7 km as the crow flies, functions as the social centre of the area, with restaurants, shops and the harbour promenade within a short walk or drive. The apartment itself sits in an established urbanisation with the quiet, low-density character typical of Sotogrande Costa, where residential streets are lined with mature planting and traffic remains limited outside peak summer weeks. Within 2 km of the property there are 17 restaurants, two pharmacies and two banks, which covers most daily needs without longer journeys. Two health centres serve the wider area, and schooling is available nearby, with Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus at 5.9 km and its main site at 6.1 km straight-line distance. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons. During spring and autumn, the polo season at Santa María Polo Club (0.9 km) and golf at nearby courses draw an international crowd, while winter months are noticeably quieter. The heated indoor pool in the complex extends swimming beyond the outdoor season, which lasts about five months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above. For residents who enjoy walking, the beachside and marina settings offer flat terrain, as the area sits at just 3 m above sea level. A car remains useful for reaching larger supermarkets, the international schools and the airports, though the immediate marina district is largely navigable on foot.
The immediate surroundings combine marina life with beachside living. Within a 2 km radius, residents have access to 17 restaurants, two pharmacies and two banks, covering daily essentials. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 0.7 km away as the crow flies, provides the main leisure focus with its harbour, promenade and dining options. Healthcare is served by two health centres in the area, and education by 13 primary schools and five secondary schools across the wider municipality. Tourism infrastructure in the zone is moderate, with seven hotels and around 1,017 beds, which keeps the area calmer than mass-market resorts further east along the coast. Public transport consists of five lines with 24 stops, offering basic connectivity, though most residents rely on a car for shopping, schools and airport transfers. Gibraltar Airport lies approximately 17 km in a straight line, making it the closest gateway for flights to the UK; Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 82 km away with a broader route network. The A-7 coastal motorway connects the area westwards to Cádiz province and eastwards towards Estepona and Marbella. Housing market activity in the area records around 849 transactions per year, indicating an established rather than speculative market with steady turnover.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sotogrande occupies the westernmost end of the Costa del Sol, at the border between the provinces of Málaga and Cádiz, near the Strait of Gibraltar. It is positioned as a low-density residential enclave rather than a resort town, with the marina district, golf courses and polo club forming its main landmarks. To the east lie Estepona and Marbella at increasing distances; to the west, the coast continues into Cádiz province towards Tarifa. The nearest sizeable towns are San Roque and La Línea de la Concepción, while Gibraltar itself lies just across the bay. This western position makes Gibraltar Airport the most practical gateway, with Málaga Airport as the alternative for broader international connections.
Distances in this section are straight-line (as the crow flies); actual road distances are longer. The beach is directly adjacent given the front-line beach complex setting, and Puerto de Sotogrande marina sits 0.7 km away. Golf is well represented: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 1.7 km, Club de Golf La Cañada at 3.2 km and La Reserva Golf Club at 4.6 km. Sports facilities include Santa María Polo Club at 0.9 km and Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 1.9 km. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is located 3.2 km away. For longer journeys, Gibraltar Airport is roughly 17 km away and Málaga Airport about 82 km. Public transport runs on five lines with 24 stops in the area, but service frequency is limited, and car ownership is the norm among residents. Road access runs via the A-7 and AP-7 corridors along the coast.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 25°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.5°C. This is a temperate Mediterranean pattern: warm, dry summers and mild winters where heating is rarely essential. The swimming season in local waters lasts about five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, while the complex's heated indoor pool extends swimming throughout the year. The terrain is flat, the area sits at 3 m above sea level, which makes walking and cycling practical and avoids the steep slopes found in some hillside urbanisations along the coast. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, and the Atlantic influence near the Strait of Gibraltar can bring breezier conditions than areas further east on the Costa del Sol. Outdoor living is therefore viable for most of the year, supported by the west-facing terrace that captures afternoon and evening light. Local life retains its own calendar, with 32 public holidays per year in the municipality marking religious and regional observances.

Recreation in the area is anchored by three elements: the beach, the marina and golf. The apartment sits in a front-line beach complex, giving direct access to the coastline of Sotogrande, known for wide sandy stretches that are quieter than the beaches of the eastern Costa del Sol. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, a second marina with dining and moorings, lies 8.5 km away as the crow flies. Golf is a defining feature of the district, Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande (1.7 km) is one of Spain's most established courses, complemented by Club de Golf La Cañada (3.2 km) and La Reserva Golf Club (4.6 km), giving residents three courses within a short drive. The Santa María Polo Club at 0.9 km hosts international tournaments in the summer season, drawing visitors to the area each year. Within the complex itself, the outdoor pool, heated indoor pool, gym and sauna provide day-to-day recreation without leaving the grounds. Tennis and padel facilities are common in the wider Sotogrande urbanisations, and water sports operate from the marina.
