A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 112 m² situated in Sotogrande Marina, within the municipality of San Roque in Cádiz. The property was completed in 2006 and is available key-ready at a fixed asking price of €550,000. The home is south-facing with sea views, a private terrace, air conditioning and a lift in the building. Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, located approximately 25 km northeast of Gibraltar, and combines marina, golf and beach amenities within a managed community setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Sotogrande Marina, roughly 2.7 km from Puerto de Sotogrande as listed, close to shops and the sea. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away as the crow flies, with Valderrama at 3.1 km. Algeciras is 21 km straight-line; Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km away.
The layout offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite, with 112 m² of living area plus a private terrace and garden. A lift serves the building, and air conditioning is installed. Communal parking is available. This suits a couple or small household seeking a low-maintenance waterfront base.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2006 and the condition is described as good. No delivery waiting period applies; the property can be transferred key-ready, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process and notary scheduling.
The property offers communal parking rather than a private garage, and the apartment is part of a 2006 building, so finishes reflect that construction period. Only two bedrooms are available, and no data is provided on storage rooms, community fees or energy performance. Buyers should verify annual running costs independently.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home with sea views, two bathrooms and lift access will find the configuration practical, particularly given the good-condition status and key-ready availability, no construction risk or waiting period applies. Buyers prioritising golf will note that three courses, including Valderrama, sit within about 3 km as the crow flies, which is a short drive in practice. Investors may look at the rental dynamics of marina-front properties in Sotogrande, where summer demand is strong and the neighbouring apartment being separately available allows a two-unit acquisition in one location. Households needing three or more bedrooms, or a private garage rather than communal parking, would need to look elsewhere in the local offer. Those planning to live without a car year-round should consider that the nearest listed beach is 4.4 km straight-line away and that daily errands beyond the basic amenities within 2 km generally require driving. Retirees or part-year residents who value proximity to healthcare facilities, two health centres serve the municipality, and to Gibraltar Airport, roughly 14 km away, will find the logistics of seasonal travel straightforward.
The building dates from 2006, which places it in the era of solid mainstream Spanish coastal construction: typical cavity walls, aluminium or first-generation PVC window frames, and tiled floors throughout, as visible in the interior photographs. The condition is listed as good, indicating no renovation requirement is recorded, though buyers of properties of this age should expect to review the state of the air conditioning units, hot water system and kitchen appliances during due diligence. Interior features include an ensuite bathroom alongside the main bathroom, and the property benefits from a lift in the building, a practical point for accessibility and for future-proofing. Climate control consists of air conditioning; no data is provided on heating type, so winter comfort arrangements should be verified during a viewing. Outdoor space is a distinguishing feature: alongside the private terrace there is a private pool and private garden, which is uncommon for an apartment and effectively combines apartment living with villa-style outdoor amenities. Parking is communal rather than assigned. As with any 2006 property, an independent technical inspection is advisable to assess insulation quality, plumbing and electrical installations against current standards.
The asking price is a fixed €550,000 for this existing apartment, not a 'from' price. For context within Sotogrande, comparable new-build projects currently start at roughly €423,000 at Atria and €549,000 at Adel San Roque and Serenity Golf Homes, meaning this home is priced within the lower-to-mid band of the local offer while being available immediately rather than off-plan. The neighbouring apartment is also for sale, which is relevant for buyers considering a combined purchase or portfolio approach. Annual costs such as community fees and IBI are not stated and should be requested separately.
Daily life here is organised around the marina and its immediate surroundings. The apartment is south-facing, which in southern Spain means the terrace and living spaces receive sun for most of the day, particularly in the cooler months when a southern orientation matters most for comfortable outdoor use. Mornings can be spent on the terrace overlooking the boats, with the private pool and garden adding outdoor space that most apartments in marina settings do not include. The practical footprint is 112 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is ensuite, a configuration that works for permanent residence, extended stays or rental use. Within a 2 km radius there is a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, covering basic daily needs without driving. Grocery and larger retail runs typically involve the wider Sotogrande area or San Roque. The neighbourhood rhythm follows the marina: quieter in winter, busier in summer when boat owners and holiday visitors arrive. Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km away as the crow flies, so beach trips are a short drive rather than a walk. Golf is the defining nearby recreation, with Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande under 1 km away and both La Cañada and Valderrama within about 3 km. A car remains the practical mode of transport for most journeys, although nine public transport lines and eight stops serve the wider area.
The immediate environment is the marina quarter of Sotogrande, a private residential development spanning about 25 km² from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara. Within 2 km, the listed amenities include one pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, sufficient for routine needs but not for full weekly shopping. Sport and leisure infrastructure is unusually dense: 66 sports facilities serve the area, including Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km, Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km and Piscina Loma del Rey at 4.7 km, all straight-line. Education is well covered for a resort community, with 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools in the municipality, plus Sotogrande International School campuses at 3.5 km and 4.5 km. Healthcare is provided through two health centres. The municipality records around 849 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not frenetic resale market. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles sits 1.8 km away. Public transport exists, nine lines and eight stops, but service frequency is oriented to local needs rather than commuter schedules.
The map shows the apartment's position within Sotogrande Marina, between the coast and the A-7 corridor. Gibraltar sits about 14 km to the southwest as the crow flies; Algeciras 21 km west and Marbella 45 km east. The golf courses, polo club and international school are marked at their straight-line distances.

Sotogrande occupies the western gateway to the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, about 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. It functions as a distinct, privately managed resort community rather than a town, positioned between the mass-market coast east of Marbella and the industrial hinterland around Algeciras. Marbella lies 45 km away and Jerez 87 km, meaning shopping, culture and airports are regional rather than local. This gives the area a quieter, more residential character than the central Costa del Sol, at the cost of longer distances to some services.
Accessibility is one of the location's practical strengths. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 14 km away as the crow flies, one of the shortest airport distances on the Spanish coast, which simplifies seasonal travel despite its limited route network. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport, with far broader international connections, is approximately 84 km straight-line, realistically a drive of over an hour by road. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.4 km as the crow flies over essentially flat terrain (gradient 0.9%), reached in a few minutes by car. Puerto de Sotogrande lies 2.7 km away. Algeciras, a full-service city of nearly 122,000 inhabitants with rail and port connections, is 21 km straight-line. Marbella, at 45 km, and Jerez de la Frontera, at 87 km, frame the wider regional options. A car is the default mode of transport; distances are straight-line and road routes are longer.

The climate data points to a mild Mediterranean-maritime regime: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, with elevation of just 39 m above sea level and a flat approach to the coast. The swimming season is recorded at five months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, typically June through October, which is shorter than the more eastern Costa del Sol due to Atlantic influence through the Strait of Gibraltar. The setting between sea, cork forests and the Sierra Almenara foothills produces the characteristic green landscape of this western end of the coast, with views extending on clear days towards the Rock of Gibraltar and Morocco. The low elevation and 0.9% gradient to the beach mean the terrain is walkable and cycle-friendly locally. Residents can expect cool, damp winters relative to inland Andalusia and warm but moderated summers.

Coastal recreation centres on Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.4 km away as the crow flies, a long open beach backed by the La Alcaidesa development. No specific Blue Flag designation data is provided for the immediate beaches, so water quality status should be checked separately. The dominant recreation in Sotogrande is golf: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, one of Spain's older championship courses, is 0.8 km away, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km and Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup, 3.1 km, all straight-line. Santa María Polo Club, at 2.3 km, hosts high-goal polo in summer, one of the seasonal markers of local life. Sailing and boat access run through Puerto de Sotogrande. The 66 sports facilities in the wider area cover tennis, padel, swimming and equestrian pursuits. For drinking and dining, the marina itself provides the nearest concentration of restaurants and bars, typically within walking distance of an apartment in this position.

Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, Spain. It is a private community in the municipality of San Roque. Located 25 km (16 mi) northeast of Gibraltar, Sotogrande is composed of a 25-square-kilometre (9.7 sq mi) stretch from the Mediterranean Sea back into the foothills of Sierra Almenara, providing contrasting views of sea, hills, cork forests and green fairways, including the Rock of Gibraltar and Morocco.

Within Sotogrande's current offer, this apartment at €550,000 sits alongside new-build projects such as Atria (from €423,000), Adel San Roque (from €549,000) and Serenity Golf Homes (from €549,000). The comparison is not purely one of price: those figures are 'from' prices for off-plan or newly built homes, whereas this is a fixed asking price for a completed 2006 apartment available now. Buyers comparing the options effectively weigh immediate availability and an established marina position against modern specifications, newer energy standards and developer payment structures. At 112 m² with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private terrace, private pool and private garden, the property's space-per-euro compares reasonably with the new-build alternatives, which at similar price points typically offer apartments without private pools. Locationally, the marina quarter differs from the golf-urbanisation settings of most competitors: it is the most walkable part of Sotogrande, with the concentration of restaurants and boat activity on the doorstep. Regionally, Sotogrande as a whole trades at a different rhythm from the Marbella-Estepona corridor 45 to 80 km east: lower transaction volume, a quieter winter season and a demographic weighted towards golf, polo and sailing households. Algeciras, 21 km away, provides the practical urban infrastructure, hospitals, retail, rail, that the resort itself lacks. The proximity of Gibraltar Airport, roughly 14 km away, is a differentiator few Spanish coastal locations can match, though Malaga's much larger network remains the default for most international routes. For buyers focused on golf course frontage, the new-build golf-side projects may fit better; for those who prioritise marina life, walkability and an existing community, this property occupies a niche the new developments do not directly replicate.
