Villa Granada is a detached villa of 1,213 m² on a 3,580 m² plot in Sotogrande Alto, completed in 2009 and comprehensively renovated since. The property offers six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, sea and golf views, a heated private pool, a gym with hammam and sauna, staff accommodation and garaging for four cars. The asking price is fixed at €5,975,000. Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, in the municipality of San Roque, about 25 km northeast of Gibraltar.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in Sotogrande Alto, a low-density residential zone with generous plots and mature greenery. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away as the crow flies, with Valderrama at 3.1 km. The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.4 km in a direct line, and Gibraltar Airport approximately 14 km. Puerto de Sotogrande marina is 2.7 km away.
The house provides six bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and ensuite facilities, a fully fitted kitchen, private terraces, storage, air conditioning and central heating. Outside there are private landscaped gardens, a heated pool and a poolside pavilion with its own bathroom and outdoor kitchen. A private gym, spa with hammam and sauna, and garaging for four cars complete the layout.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2009 and the property has since undergone a complete renovation, with interiors designed by studio Ambience. It is key-ready and delivered fully furnished. Any dates relating to the original construction and renovation are indicative.
The property does not form part of a new-build development with phases or a developer payment structure. There is no communal facilities programme beyond what Sotogrande itself offers, and no on-site staffed reception. The beach is not within walking distance at roughly 4.4 km as the crow flies, so daily beach visits involve a short drive.
This villa suits a household that needs the capacity of six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, for example a large family receiving regular visitors, or owners who entertain guests and require separate staff accommodation. It also fits buyers seeking a move-in-ready home: the renovation is complete, the interior is furnished and equipped, and no construction or fit-out phase remains. Golf players benefit most directly, with Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande under a kilometre away in a straight line and Valderrama, La Cañada and La Reserva all within about four kilometres. Buyers who want a walk-to-beach location should note the coast is roughly 4.4 km away by direct line, which in practice means driving. The property also works for those who value privacy and low surrounding density over the atmosphere of a town centre; Sotogrande Alto is residential and quiet, with the marina and its social life a short drive away. Households with school-age children have international schooling within about 3.5 to 4.5 km. Frequent flyers may value Gibraltar Airport at 14 km, while Málaga Airport at 84 km in a direct line serves a wider range of routes. Finally, the four-car garaging, gym and spa suit owners whose routines include vehicles, fitness and wellness at home rather than depending on external clubs.
The villa was completed in 2009 in a Mediterranean architectural style and has since undergone a complete renovation with a contemporary interior scheme designed by studio Ambience. Materials named in the documentation include oak flooring, stone, walnut joinery and high wooden ceilings, combined with warm neutral tones and integrated lighting. The principal suite has high ceilings, a private sitting area, a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom, and the bedroom count of six with eight bathrooms indicates ensuite provision across most rooms. Climate systems include both air conditioning and central heating, which covers the cooler winter months in addition to summer cooling. The kitchen is fully fitted, bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and there is a storage room. The wellness infrastructure, a private gym, hammam, sauna and jacuzzi, was installed as part of the internal facilities rather than as a communal offering. Outside, the heated pool extends usable months beyond the warm season, and the poolside pavilion with its own bathroom and outdoor kitchen adds a self-contained entertaining area. Practical provisions include staff accommodation and garaging for four cars. As this is an existing home completed in 2009 and subsequently renovated, buyers should verify current condition, installations and systems through the standard technical survey during the purchase process. Delivery condition is key-ready and fully furnished as documented.
The asking price is fixed at €5,975,000 for the villa as a completed, key-ready home; it is not a from-price within a development. The price reflects an existing property of 1,213 m² of living space on a 3,580 m² plot, fully renovated and furnished, with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a private heated pool, gym and spa facilities, staff accommodation and four-car garaging. No unit variations or price list apply, since this is a single residence. Comparable new-build projects in the wider Sotogrande area start considerably lower, Altara Alcaidesa from €341,000, Atria from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from €638,000, but those figures relate to smaller units in multi-unit schemes rather than to a detached villa of this scale. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard purchase process.
Daily life at this villa revolves around its plot and the golf-oriented surroundings of Sotogrande Alto. Mornings can begin on the covered terraces, which open directly from the living areas onto the gardens and look across the fairways towards the Mediterranean. The heated pool extends the swimming season beyond the warmer months, and the poolside pavilion with outdoor kitchen provides a separate setting for meals outside the main house. With a supermarket 1.7 km away and a pharmacy 1.2 km away, routine errands are short trips by car. The nearest golf club is under one kilometre in a direct line, so play can be fitted into a normal day without significant travel. In the evenings, the dining room and light-filled living spaces serve indoor routines, while the gym, hammam and sauna offer options that do not depend on leaving the property. The presence of staff accommodation and garaging for four cars indicates the house is set up for households that run at a larger scale, whether with visiting family, guests or domestic support. Sotogrande Alto itself is quiet and low-density, so the rhythm of the day is largely determined by the residents rather than by surrounding activity. For shopping and social life, Puerto de Sotogrande at 2.7 km offers the marina environment, and larger centres such as Algeciras at 21 km and Marbella at 45 km are within reach for occasional trips.
Sotogrande Alto is characterised by low residential density, large plots and mature planting, with golf courses forming part of the immediate landscape. Daily provisions are close: a pharmacy at 1.2 km, a supermarket at 1.7 km, and within two kilometres there are two banks, a café and a dentist, all distances straight-line. A hospital lies 10 km away and two health centres serve the wider area. Education options include thirteen primary schools and five secondary schools in the region, with Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus 3.5 km away in a direct line. Sports facilities are unusually dense: 66 counted in the area, including Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km, Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and a public pool at 4.7 km. Electric-vehicle charging is available at 1.8 km. Public transport exists, nine lines and eight stops, but coverage is limited relative to urban areas, so a car is convenient though not strictly necessary for everything. The municipality of San Roque records roughly 34,310 inhabitants, and annual housing transactions in the area number about 849, indicating an established but not high-volume market. Tourism infrastructure is modest locally, with seven hotels and around 1,017 beds, which keeps day-to-day surroundings residential in character.
The map shows the villa's position in Sotogrande Alto relative to the golf courses, the marina and the coast. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies just under a kilometre away, Valderrama 3.1 km, and the beach at La Alcaidesa 4.4 km, all measured in a straight line. Gibraltar and its airport sit roughly 14 km to the southwest.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sotogrande occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of San Roque in Cádiz province, about 25 km northeast of Gibraltar. It is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, spanning roughly 25 km² from the coast into the Sierra Almenara foothills. Positionally, it is closer to Algeciras, 21 km away, than to Marbella, 45 km in a direct line, and it faces a different stretch of coast than the Marbella-Estepona core. Gibraltar Airport at 14 km and Málaga at about 84 km give it a two-airport accessibility profile uncommon on this coast.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. Beaches: Playa de La Alcaidesa at 4.4 km, Playa de la Chullera at 8.1 km and Playa de La Atunara at 8.5 km. Golf: Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km, Club de Golf La Cañada at 2.5 km, Valderrama at 3.1 km and La Reserva Golf Club at 3.7 km. Airports: Gibraltar at roughly 14 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol at about 84 km. The marina, Puerto de Sotogrande, is 2.7 km away, and a hospital is 10 km distant. Within two kilometres there is a pharmacy, a supermarket, banks and a dentist. By car, the A-7 coastal motorway connects the area westwards to Algeciras, 21 km away, and eastwards towards Marbella, 45 km away in a direct line. Public transport is thin, nine lines and eight stops, so a car is the practical mode for most journeys, though some daily needs can be met on foot or by bicycle given the flat terrain towards the coast.

The area sits at approximately 39 metres above sea level with a gradient of under one per cent towards the beach, making the terrain effectively flat. The average annual temperature is 18.5 °C, consistent with a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts about five months. Sotogrande stretches from the Mediterranean back into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, so the surroundings combine sea views with cork forests and green fairways; on clear days the Rock of Gibraltar and the Moroccan coast are visible. The villa's elevated position in Sotogrande Alto provides panoramic views over golf course and hills towards the sea. The climate supports year-round use of the property, with the heated pool extending outdoor swimming beyond the natural season and central heating covering the winter months.

The nearest beach is Playa de La Alcaidesa, 4.4 km away in a direct line, with Playa de la Chullera at 8.1 km and Playa de La Atunara at 8.5 km as alternatives along the same coastline. The leisure core of the area, however, is golf: four courses lie within about four kilometres, including Valderrama at 3.1 km, one of the most recognised courses in Europe, and Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km. The Santa María Polo Club is 2.3 km away and hosts international polo during the summer season. La Reserva Club, 3.7 km distant, adds racquet sports and 'The Beach', a lagoon-style leisure facility. The villa itself carries much of the recreation load: heated private pool, jacuzzi, gym, hammam and sauna, plus a poolside pavilion for outdoor entertaining. The area counts 66 sports facilities in total, and Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km offers municipal options. Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km away, provides the marina setting for waterfront dining and boating.

Within the wider Sotogrande area, this villa occupies a different segment from the current new-build offerings. Altara Alcaidesa starts from €341,000, Atria from €423,000 and Adel San Roque from €638,000; these are multi-unit developments where the from-price typically corresponds to an apartment or townhouse, not a detached villa. At a fixed asking price of €5,975,000, Villa Granada competes in the established luxury villa market of Sotogrande Alto, where value is determined by plot size, views, renovation quality and golf proximity rather than by a developer price list. Its 3,580 m² plot and 1,213 m² of living space place it among the larger residences in the area, and the combination of staff accommodation and four-car garaging reflects the operating scale of that segment. Locationally, Sotogrande differs from the Marbella-Estepona core of the Costa del Sol: it is closer to Algeciras, 21 km away, than to Marbella, 45 km in a direct line, and it offers the two-airport profile of Gibraltar at 14 km and Málaga at roughly 84 km. The local market records about 849 housing transactions per year, modest volume compared with Marbella's, which typically means fewer but larger transactions in the villa segment. Buyers comparing regions should also note the setting: Sotogrande's 25 km² stretch from the coast into the Sierra Almenara foothills produces a lower-density, golf-and-polo-oriented environment with 66 sports facilities, in contrast with the denser resort strips further east. For households weighing a new-build apartment against an existing villa, the trade-off is essentially between modern specification and phased payment on one side, and immediate scale, privacy and completed renovation on the other.
