This two-bedroom apartment stands in Sotogrande Marina, within the private residential estate of San Roque in Cádiz province. Completed in 2006 and now key-ready, the property offers 119 m² of living space with two bathrooms, a south-facing orientation and open views over the marina from a private terrace. The apartment is offered unfurnished at a fixed asking price of €550,000. The neighbouring apartment is also available for purchase, which allows the option of acquiring two adjacent homes in one waterfront setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Sotogrande Marina, part of the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, in the municipality of San Roque. The marina lies on the Mediterranean coast, roughly 25 km northeast of Gibraltar, with the Puerto de Sotogrande 2.7 km away and the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande 0.8 km from the door.
The home provides two spacious bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom, a lift in the building, communal gardens and communal parking. A south-facing position with sea views and a private terrace suits daily outdoor living. Basic amenities within 2 km include a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, covering routine needs without leaving the estate.
This is an existing home, completed in 2006 and delivered key-ready, so no construction phase or waiting period applies. The buyer can move in or place the property on the rental market immediately after purchase. Completion dates and handover terms remain indicative and should be confirmed with the seller during the transaction.
The property is sold unfurnished and has no private garden or private parking space; outdoor areas and parking are communal. There is no private pool, and the listing provides no data on storage rooms or energy performance. Buyers seeking a new-build specification or developer payment structure will not find those here.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home on the Mediterranean will find a turnkey apartment with sea views, a lift and communal upkeep of gardens and parking, ready for immediate use after purchase. A buyer focused on rental income may note the marina location, the south-facing terrace and the fact that the adjacent apartment is also for sale; acquiring both allows combined management of two units side by side, which can simplify letting and increase flexibility between personal use and rental weeks. Purchasers with children at international schools may find the location relevant: Sotogrande International School has two campuses at 3.5 km and 4.5 km. Golf players form another clear group, with three courses, including Valderrama, within 3.1 km. The home is less suited to buyers who want a private pool, a private garden or an assigned parking space, since all outdoor facilities here are communal. It also does not suit those looking for a modern new-build specification, as the building dates from 2006. Frequent long-haul travellers benefit from Gibraltar Airport at roughly 14 km in a straight line, while Málaga-Costa del Sol lies about 84 km away. Buyers who prefer walkable urban density, with shops and restaurants directly below the front door, should verify the immediate marina offering on site, as the estate is residential in character rather than a town centre.
The building dates from 2006, which places it in the era of solid Mediterranean apartment construction with concrete frames, rendered façades and tiled floors as standard. The apartment offers 119 m² of living space across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an unusually generous ratio for this category, and the bedrooms are described as spacious. One bathroom is en-suite; the images show a modern bathroom with a bathtub and a bright twin bedroom with a large window, indicating reasonable natural light in the sleeping areas. The living room opens onto a balcony with views over the marina, and the orientation is south-facing, which supports both light and passive warmth in the cooler months. The property is sold unfurnished, so the buyer chooses the interior style and budget; no furniture allowance or styling package is included. The building has a lift, and communal gardens are maintained collectively, with costs shared through the community of owners. No energy performance certificate data, storage room or garage allocation is stated in the listing, and buyers should confirm these points, along with the annual community fees and IBI property tax, directly during due diligence. As an existing home, the condition is observable at a viewing, and an independent technical inspection remains standard practice for any resale purchase of this age.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €550,000 as an existing, key-ready home completed in 2006. This is not a new-build price list, so no
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its position inside Sotogrande Marina. Mornings can begin on the south-facing terrace, which looks out over the boats and the water, with sun through the middle of the day thanks to the orientation. The building has a lift, which simplifies shopping trips and luggage on arrival days. Communal gardens surround the block, and parking is handled communally rather than through an assigned private space. The immediate surroundings are quiet for most of the year, as Sotogrande is a private estate with controlled access rather than a public resort town; activity rises in summer and around polo season at the Santa María Polo Club, 2.3 km away. Practical errands are manageable on foot or by short drive: a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist all sit within 2 km. For larger shops and services, Algeciras lies 21 km away in a straight line, while Marbella is 45 km distant. Golf plays a central role in the local rhythm. The Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.8 km away, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km and Valderrama 3.1 km, placing three courses within a five-minute drive. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.4 km in a straight line across gently flat terrain, with a gradient of under one per cent, so cycling is a realistic alternative to the car in good weather. Public transport exists in the estate, nine lines and eight stops, but a car remains the practical choice for regional travel.
The marina quarter of Sotogrande functions as a residential waterfront rather than a commercial port. Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km away in a straight line, concentrates dining and mooring activity, and the apartment's terrace looks out over boats and palm trees. Amenities within 2 km of the property include a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, so routine needs stay close to home. Sports facilities are unusually dense: 66 venues are recorded around the estate, including the Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km, the Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km and the Piscina Loma del Rey at 4.7 km. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the wider municipality, and education by 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools, including two international school campuses within 4.5 km. The terrain is flat, elevation is 39 m with a 0.9 per cent gradient towards the beach, so walking and cycling are practical. The area stays quiet outside the summer and polo seasons, and the nearest large towns, Algeciras at 21 km and Marbella at 45 km straight-line, cover city-level services.
The map shows the apartment's position in Sotogrande Marina on the Cádiz coast, near the border with Málaga province. Markers indicate the marina at 2.7 km, three golf courses within 3.1 km, the international school campuses and the beach at La Alcaidesa. Gibraltar lies just 14 km to the southwest.

Sotogrande occupies the westernmost edge of the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, about 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. Its position places it closer to the Strait of Gibraltar than to the Marbella holiday core: Marbella lies 45 km in a straight line to the east, Algeciras 21 km to the west, and Jerez de la Frontera 87 km to the northwest. This gives the estate a distinct character, quieter, greener and more residential than the central Costa del Sol, with the cork forests and hills of the Sierra Almenara behind the coast. Buyers comparing the two areas typically weigh Marbella's density of services against Sotogrande's space, golf and polo infrastructure.
The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km away as the crow flies, so the actual road distance is somewhat longer. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km in a straight line, which is one of the shortest airport distances on the whole Andalusian coast; Málaga-Costa del Sol sits roughly 84 km away for wider international connections. By car, Algeciras is the closest large town at 21 km straight-line, and Marbella 45 km. Within the estate, an IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is 1.8 km away. Public transport consists of nine lines with eight stops, sufficient for local connections but limited for daily commuting; most residents rely on a private car. The flat terrain and the marina setting make short trips on foot or by bicycle realistic for everyday errands and the walk to the harbour.

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 18.5 °C, characteristic of the western Costa del Sol and the Strait of Gibraltar, where Atlantic influence moderates summer heat compared with the eastern parts of the coast. The swimming season lasts five months, with sea temperatures at or above 20 °C, generally from late spring into early autumn. The elevation is 39 m above sea level with a 0.9 per cent gradient towards the shore, so no steep climbs stand between the home and the beach. The surrounding landscape combines sea views with the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, cork forests and green fairways, with the Rock of Gibraltar and, on clear days, the Moroccan coast visible across the strait. The estate's 25 km² territory stretches from the Mediterranean back into these hills, giving the area a green, wooded character unusual for the Spanish coastline.

Playa de La Alcaidesa, at 4.4 km straight-line, is the nearest beach and is reached over flat terrain. The recreational identity of Sotogrande, however, rests strongly on golf: the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km from the apartment, Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km, and the internationally known Valderrama, a former Ryder Cup venue, at 3.1 km. Polo is the second sporting signature of the estate, with the Santa María Polo Club 2.3 km away hosting high-goal tournaments each summer. Further options include the Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and a public pool at 4.7 km. In total, 66 sports facilities are recorded around the estate, spanning tennis, paddle, sailing and equestrian activities, and the marina itself provides moorings and waterfront walking. The area counts 7 hotels with around 1,017 beds, indicating a measured tourism volume rather than mass resort development.
