A key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 119 m² in Sotogrande Marina, San Roque, in the province of Cádiz. Completed in 2006, the apartment is south-facing and offers sea views from its terrace, together with a lift, an ensuite bathroom, communal gardens and communal parking. The asking price is fixed at €550,000. Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, situated roughly 25 km northeast of Gibraltar, with the marina, golf courses and the beach of La Alcaidesa all within a short radius. The neighbouring apartment is also available for buyers considering a combined purchase.
Within Sotogrande itself, the apartment competes both with resale stock and with current new-build releases. The comparables in the data, Atria from €423,000, Adel San Roque from €549,000 and Serenity Golf Homes from €549,000, are new-build projects where prices start at the entry level and rise with size and specification. This apartment's fixed price of €550,000 for 119 m² works out at roughly €4,620 per square metre, a useful benchmark when comparing against new-build pricing, where entry units are typically smaller than 119 m². The distinction matters in several ways. A new-build buyer obtains current construction standards, developer warranties and a community in formation, but waits for completion and pays a premium per square metre. A resale buyer in a 2006 building obtains space, an established community and immediate availability, at the cost of carrying out due diligence on building condition and community finances. Regionally, Sotogrande sits at the quiet, low-density end of the Costa del Sol. Marbella, 45 km away as the crow flies with 147,958 inhabitants, offers a far larger property market, year-round services and higher price levels in its prime areas, at the cost of density and traffic. Algeciras, 21 km distant, is a working port city where prices are considerably lower but the residential profile differs entirely from a private marina estate. Jerez de la Frontera, 87 km away, is outside the coastal market altogether. Sotogrande's specific combination, a gated, low-rise estate with three golf courses, an international school, polo in summer and a marina, has few direct equivalents in the region, which is the relevant context for its pricing. The municipality recorded 849 housing transactions per year, a modest turnover that reflects the estate's character: properties here change hands less frequently than on the central Costa del Sol, and resale availability in the marina is limited. Buyers comparing this apartment with new-build alternatives should weigh space and immediate availability against specification and warranty, and verify the building's maintenance history as part of that comparison.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Sotogrande Marina, within the municipality of San Roque in Cádiz. Puerto de Sotogrande lies 2.7 km away as the crow flies, while Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.8 km distant. Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km in a straight line, with the terrain essentially flat towards the coast. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km away by direct distance.
The layout provides two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of them ensuite, with 119 m² of living space and an open-plan living and dining area. The south-facing orientation and terrace with sea views suit outdoor living for most of the year. The building has a lift, and residents have access to a communal garden and communal parking. The property is sold unfurnished.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment is an existing home completed in 2006 and is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its current condition without a construction phase. No delivery date applies; completion of the purchase follows the standard notarial process for resale property. The neighbouring apartment is likewise available as a separate purchase.
The property does not include private parking, a private garden or a private pool; parking and gardens are communal. It is sold unfurnished. The building dates from 2006, so construction standards and installations correspond to that period rather than to current new-build regulations. There are two bedrooms only, which limits capacity for larger households.
This apartment fits a buyer seeking a turnkey second home in a low-density, private estate on the western Costa del Sol. Because it is key-ready, the property can be used immediately after purchase, which suits buyers who want to avoid a construction phase or a renovation project. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, with one ensuite, works for couples, small families or owners who regularly host guests, and the unfurnished state allows a buyer to furnish to their own preferences. Investors may find the configuration relevant for a different reason: the marina location and the availability of the neighbouring unit create the option to build a small rental portfolio in one transaction, simplifying management and increasing lettable capacity in a single waterfront building. Golf players are another natural group. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away as the crow flies, Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama, one of Spain's most recognised courses, at 3.1 km. Households with school-age children have Sotogrande International School within 3.5 to 4.5 km straight-line distance. The property is less suited to buyers wanting a private pool, private garden or more than two bedrooms, or those seeking the year-round bustle and full urban services of a large town. Sotogrande is residential and quiet outside the summer and polo seasons, which is exactly its attraction for some buyers and a limitation for others.
The building dates from 2006, which places it in a generation of Spanish construction where reinforced concrete frames, cavity walls and double glazing were standard practice, though predating the energy-performance requirements introduced later. As an existing resale property, the apartment's actual condition depends on maintenance and any refurbishment carried out by previous owners, and this should be verified during a viewing and technical survey rather than assumed. The interior shown in the available photography displays an open-plan living and dining area, a twin bedroom with a large window, and a living room opening onto a balcony with marina views. The apartment has two full bathrooms, one of them ensuite to the principal bedroom, and a lift serves the building, a practical point for access, groceries and future-proofing. The terrace is the principal outdoor space; it is south-facing, which on this latitude means direct sun for the majority of the day and shade only in the early evening, relevant both for outdoor living and for interior temperatures in summer. Outdoor areas are maintained collectively: the communal garden is part of the community arrangement, as is communal parking. Buyers should budget for community fees, which are not stated in the available data and should be requested. As the property is sold unfurnished, the purchase price excludes furniture, appliances and any staging visible in photographs. A structural survey and a check of the building's community finances form part of normal due diligence for a 2006 building and are advisable before completing a purchase.
The apartment carries a fixed asking price of €550,000. This is an existing, key-ready home completed in 2006, so no price list applies and no variation between unit types exists. For context within Sotogrande, current new-build comparables start at approximately €423,000 at Atria, €549,000 at Adel San Roque and €549,000 at Serenity Golf Homes. At 119 m² of living space, the asking price corresponds to roughly €4,620 per square metre. The neighbouring apartment is also on the market, which allows a buyer to acquire two adjacent units, either to combine rental operations or to hold two waterfront properties side by side. Prices and availability remain subject to confirmation with the seller.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its position within Sotogrande Marina, a waterfront district where boat berths, low-rise apartment buildings and palm-lined streets define the immediate surroundings. The morning routine can start on the south-facing terrace, which receives sun for most of the day and looks out over the marina and the sea beyond. The open-plan living and dining area connects directly to this outdoor space, so the boundary between inside and outside living stays porous for much of the year. The marina itself functions as a small service centre: within a 2 km radius the area intelligence lists a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, which covers basic daily errands without needing to leave the estate. For larger shopping trips, the surrounding municipalities of San Roque and Algeciras, 21 km away in a straight line, offer fuller retail provision. Sotogrande as a whole is a private residential development of about 25 square kilometres, stretching from the Mediterranean back into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara. The municipality of San Roque recorded 34,310 inhabitants in 2025, and the area counts 13 primary schools and 5 secondary schools, including Sotogrande International School with two campuses at 3.5 and 4.5 km straight-line distance. Two health centres serve the local population. The rhythm of the area is quieter than that of the large resort towns further east: tourism infrastructure is modest, with 7 hotels and around 1,017 beds, so the district does not carry mass-season crowds. A car remains the practical means of transport, although 9 public transport lines with 8 stops exist in the wider area.
The immediate environment is Sotogrande Marina, a purpose-built waterfront quarter with residential blocks arranged around the harbour basin. The 2025 municipal population of 34,310 in San Roque is spread across several population centres, so day-to-day density at the marina remains moderate. The estate records 849 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not frenetic resale market. Amenities within 2 km include a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist. Everyday shopping beyond that radius requires a short drive to Sotogrande's commercial area or to Algeciras, 21 km away as the crow flies, which functions as the regional working town with a population of 121,957. Sports provision is extensive: 66 sports facilities are recorded in the area, including Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km, Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, home of international polo tournaments in summer, and a public pool at 4.7 km. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles sits 1.8 km away, useful for EV owners. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area, with hospital-level care available in the regional towns. Public transport exists in the form of 9 lines and 8 stops, though service frequency is limited and a car is the realistic primary mode of transport, as is typical for private estates on this stretch of coast.
The map shows the apartment's position in Sotogrande Marina, with the marina basin 2.7 km away and three golf courses clustered within 3.1 km. Gibraltar lies about 14 km to the southwest across flat coastal terrain, and Marbella 45 km to the northeast. Straight-line distances are shown; road distances are longer.

Sotogrande occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, at the point where the coast turns towards the Strait of Gibraltar. It lies 25 km northeast of Gibraltar and 45 km as the crow flies southwest of Marbella, positioning it closer to Gibraltar Airport than to Málaga. The regional reference points are Algeciras (21 km, industrial and port town) and Jerez de la Frontera (87 km, with its airport and sherry heritage). Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, Sotogrande is characterised by low-density private estates, golf and polo rather than high-rise tourism, distinguishing it clearly from the built-up central coast around Marbella and Fuengirola.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km away over flat terrain. The marina of Puerto de Sotogrande is 2.7 km from the apartment. Three golf clubs sit within 3.1 km: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande (0.8 km), La Cañada (2.5 km) and Valderrama (3.1 km). Gibraltar Airport is approximately 14 km in a direct line, a short drive for flights to the United Kingdom. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 84 km straight-line distance to the east, connected by the A-7 and AP-7 coastal motorways, which places the full Costa del Sol within reach: Marbella is 45 km away as the crow flies. Algeciras, with its port connections to Morocco, is 21 km distant. Alicante-Elche Airport, at about 475 km, is not a practical option for routine travel. Within Sotogrande itself, most daily movement is by car; the estate's private roads are quiet, and communal parking is included with the apartment.

The location stands 39 m above sea level with a gradient to the beach of 0.9%, meaning the terrain is effectively flat, walking and cycling to the coast involve no significant climbing. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, and the swimming season extends over five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, generally from late spring into early autumn. Winters are mild by northern European standards, supporting year-round use of the terrace and outdoor areas, although the Atlantic influence near the Strait of Gibraltar brings more wind than the sheltered coast further east around Marbella. The estate's setting between sea and the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, with cork forests in the hinterland, gives the surrounding landscape a greener and more wooded character than the drier coastal strips typical of the region. On clear days, views extend towards the Rock of Gibraltar and, across the Strait, the coastline of Morocco.

The nearest beach is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.4 km away in a straight line, a long open stretch of coast west of Sotogrande. Closer to the estate, the Sotogrande beach and the area around the marina and the Torreguadiaro seafront provide chiringuitos and waterfront walking. The data does not record Blue Flag status for the specific beaches here, so no claim is made on that point. Recreation is dominated by golf and polo. Three courses lie within 3.1 km, including Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup and one of the most cited courses in continental Europe. Santa María Polo Club, 2.3 km away, runs its high-goal summer season each year, which temporarily lifts activity in the area. In total, 66 sports facilities are recorded nearby, from the Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte (2.1 km) to the Piscina Loma del Rey public pool (4.7 km). For sailing and boating, Puerto de Sotogrande's marina at 2.7 km is the natural base. The surrounding cork oak forests and the foothills of the Sierra Almenara offer walking and riding routes inland, contrasting with the beach and fairway landscape along the coast.
