This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in Sotogrande Marina, within the municipality of San Roque in Cádiz province. The property offers 112 m² of living space, completed in 2006 and now key-ready, with a south-facing orientation and views over the marina towards the sea. The fixed asking price is €550,000. Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, stretching from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara. The apartment lies 2.7 km from Puerto de Sotogrande, 0.8 km from Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande and roughly 14 km from Gibraltar Airport.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the marina quarter of Sotogrande, a private residential estate in San Roque, 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. Within a short radius lie Puerto de Sotogrande (2.7 km straight-line), two golf clubs and an international school campus. Algeciras is 21 km away and Marbella 45 km, both measured as the crow flies.
The layout comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite, with air conditioning, a lift in the building and a terrace oriented south. A private pool and private garden belong to the property. Communal parking is available. Daily amenities within 2 km include a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2006 and the apartment is in good condition and key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The completion date is indicative of the original construction year. The neighbouring apartment is also on the market, which allows the option of acquiring two adjacent units.
The property offers communal rather than private covered parking, and no garage space is listed as included. There are two bedrooms only, which limits capacity for larger households. The building dates from 2006, so construction and installations reflect that period rather than current new-build standards. No storage room, staff accommodation or underfloor heating is listed in the available data.

This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home on the Costa del Sol will find two bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom and a south-facing terrace adequate for extended stays, with a lift and flat surroundings easing year-round use. Buyers prioritising golf will note Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km straight-line, Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km and Valderrama at 3.1 km, a concentration of courses unusual even by Andalusian standards. Families with school-age children have Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus 3.5 km away and its main site 4.5 km away. Investors may find the adjacent apartment relevant: acquiring both allows either an expanded rental portfolio or a combined larger residence, subject to renovation consents. The property is less suited to buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private garage or contemporary new-build specifications, since the construction dates from 2006. It also assumes a degree of car dependence: public transport exists, nine lines and eight stops serve the district, but the distances to the beach, 4.4 km, and to surrounding towns make a car the practical choice. Buyers who want an urban, high-density environment should also note that Sotogrande is a low-rise private estate with 34,310 inhabitants in the municipality, not a city centre.
The building was completed in 2006, which places its construction in a period when Andalusian apartment buildings commonly used concrete frame construction with cavity or partially filled external walls, a standard that generally meets the seismic and thermal requirements of the era, though not the stricter 2019 Technical Building Code. The available data lists the condition as good, indicating that the interior and installations have been maintained. Interior photographs show a bathroom with a bathtub, a washbasin with mirror and contemporary tiling, alongside a second bathroom finished to a similar standard. Climate control consists of air conditioning, which in a 2006 building typically means split units rather than ducted or central systems; no central heating, underfloor heating or heat pump is listed. The ensuite bathroom serves the principal bedroom. The kitchen specification is not detailed in the available data and should be verified during a viewing. Exterior elements include a terrace with space for seating, photographs show wicker furniture overlooking the marina, and a private garden, which for a marina apartment usually means a ground-level plot or patio area rather than an extensive lawn. A private pool is listed as a feature. The lift serves the building, and parking is communal, so no assigned space transfers with the title. Buyers conducting due diligence should commission a technical inspection to assess the state of plumbing, electrics and window glazing, all of which are original to the 2006 completion unless subsequently replaced.
The asking price is fixed at €550,000 for this 112 m² apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, equivalent to roughly €4,910 per square metre of living area. Because this is an existing, key-ready home rather than a development with a price list, the figure is a single asking price and not a starting price. The neighbouring apartment is offered separately, so a combined purchase would be negotiated on its own terms. For context, new-build projects in Sotogrande currently advertise starting prices between €423,000 and €549,000, although those figures concern different property types and cannot be compared per square metre without further detail. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process, as the property is completed and in good condition.
Daily life around this apartment revolves around the marina quarter of Sotogrande. Mornings can begin on the south-facing terrace, which receives sun for most of the day and looks out over the boats and palm trees of the harbour. From here, the Puerto de Sotogrande lies 2.7 km away as the crow flies, with its waterfront restaurants and chandleries, while a café, pharmacy, bank and dentist all sit within a 2 km radius. The rhythm of the area is set by the seasons: summer brings the swimming months, when sea temperatures hold above 20 °C for roughly five months of the year, while autumn and winter see golfers and polo players take over the calendar, with Santa María Polo Club 2.3 km away and three golf courses within 3.1 km. The apartment's position at 39 m elevation on flat terrain means the 4.4 km walk or drive to Playa de La Alcaidesa involves no significant climbing. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite, the property suits a couple, a small family or an owner letting it out for part of the year. The lift in the building and communal parking make access straightforward. Because the neighbouring apartment is also available, a buyer could combine both units, a configuration worth considering for anyone weighing rental yield against owner occupancy. Outside the summer season the area quiets down noticeably; seven hotels and around 1,017 beds in the wider district indicate a tourism sector that is present but not dominant.
The immediate surroundings combine marina life with the green interior of the estate. Straight-line distances place the Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande 0.8 km away, the IONITY electric charging station at 1.8 km, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km. Club de Golf La Cañada follows at 2.5 km and Puerto de Sotogrande at 2.7 km, with Valderrama at 3.1 km. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the district, and education by thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools, alongside the two international school sites at 3.5 and 4.5 km. These are direct distances; road routes will be longer. The estate counts 66 sports facilities in total, reflecting the recreation-oriented character of the community. Daily shopping needs are met within the 2 km radius, which contains a pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist, a compact set that suggests most residents drive to Algeciras, 21 km as the crow flies, for larger purchases. The municipality records 849 housing transactions per year, an active but not frenetic market, and 34 local public holidays, a figure that indicates a substantial annual calendar of fiestas and events in the San Roque area.
The map shows the apartment's position within Sotogrande's marina quarter, near the border between Cádiz province and the British territory of Gibraltar. Golf courses cluster to the north and east, the beach and Alcaidesa lie southwest along the coast, and the Sierra Almenara foothills rise inland. Distances shown are straight-line measurements.

Sotogrande occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, within the municipality of San Roque in Cádiz, 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. Its position separates it from the Marbella, Estepona corridor: quieter, greener and oriented towards golf, polo and boating rather than high-rise tourism. Algeciras, 21 km away, provides the industrial and transport hub of the Bay of Gibraltar, while Marbella, 45 km east, marks the start of the busier central Costa del Sol. Jerez de la Frontera, 87 km to the northwest, connects the region to sherry country and inland Andalusia.
Gibraltar Airport is the closest aviation gateway at roughly 14 km straight-line, followed by Malaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 84 km; both distances are as the crow flies, so driving times will be longer, and the Malaga route in particular depends on the A-7 coastal motorway. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km in a direct line over flat terrain with a gradient of just 0.9 percent, making it an easy cycle or short drive. Access by car is the dominant mode: nine public transport lines with eight stops serve the district, which covers local connections but is limited for regional travel. Algeciras, 21 km away with about 122,000 inhabitants, is the nearest large town for rail connections and extensive shopping. Marbella, 45 km to the northeast, and Jerez de la Frontera, 87 km to the northwest, frame the wider region. Within Sotogrande itself, the marina at 2.7 km functions as the local social and dining hub, reducing dependence on distant towns for everyday needs.

The climate data points to a Mediterranean pattern with an average annual temperature of 18.5 °C. The swimming season extends to roughly five months, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, which typically spans late May to early October on this stretch of coast. The apartment sits at 39 m above sea level on terrain with a gradient of only 0.9 percent toward the beach, so no stair climbs or steep streets separate the property from the shore. Inland, the estate rises into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, where cork forests dominate the landscape, a woodland type specific to this corner of Cádiz province. The elevation and coastal position mean winters are mild by continental standards, while summers are moderated by sea breezes from the Strait of Gibraltar. Views from the area can extend to the Rock of Gibraltar and, on clear days, the coast of Morocco across the strait, giving the location a geographical setting distinct from the more enclosed beach towns further east.

The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km in a straight line, a long sandy stretch characteristic of the Atlantic-facing coast west of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean meets the Strait. Golf forms the second recreational pillar: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande sits 0.8 km away, Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km and the renowned Valderrama at 3.1 km, all within a five-minute to ten-minute drive of the apartment. Polo is equally embedded in local life through Santa María Polo Club, 2.3 km distant, whose autumn high-goal season is one of the fixtures of the southern Spanish sporting calendar. For everyday exercise, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte lies 2.1 km away and a public pool, Piscina Loma del Rey, at 4.7 km. Water-based recreation centres on Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km from the property, which accommodates berths, sailing schools and waterfront dining. In total the district counts 66 sports facilities, underlining how strongly the area is oriented towards an active outdoor lifestyle rather than urban entertainment.

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 itself, this apartment competes with new-build developments such as Atria (from €423,000), Adel San Roque (from €549,000) and Serenity Golf Homes (from €549,000). Those are starting prices for off-plan or recently delivered stock, whereas this property is an existing, completed home with a fixed price of €550,000, roughly €4,910 per square metre. The trade-off is direct availability and an established marina location against the higher specifications and warranties of post-2019 construction. Compared with the wider region, Sotogrande prices sit above those of Algeciras, 21 km west, which functions as a working port city with a larger population of around 122,000 and a corresponding supply of cheaper housing. Marbella, 45 km east along the coast, records higher headline prices in its golden mile and beachfront districts, but its market is denser and more seasonal. Sotogrande's distinguishing factors are structural: it is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, spread over some 25 square kilometres, with low-rise construction, cork forests and a polo-and-golf calendar that sustains activity outside the summer months. The municipality records 849 housing transactions per year, indicating steady turnover rather than speculative pressure. For buyers comparing locations rather than individual homes, the practical differences come down to orientation, Sotogrande faces the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic influence, giving slightly milder summers than Marbella, and accessibility, with Gibraltar Airport 14 km away against Malaga's 84 km. Median provincial income of €15,750 per year in Cádiz sits well below the purchase price level of this market, confirming that Sotogrande functions largely as a destination for national and international second-home and retirement buyers rather than the local primary market.
