Villa Altair is a contemporary detached villa situated in La Reserva, Sotogrande, within the municipality of San Roque in Cádiz. The property offers six en-suite bedrooms, eight bathrooms plus two guest toilets, and 1,102 m² of built space across two levels, including 802 m² of interior living area and approximately 300 m² of terraces. The asking price is fixed at €7,950,000. Facilities include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a private spa, cinema, gym and a garage for four vehicles. The villa stands in a gated community with 24-hour security, with views over the Mediterranean coastline.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located in La Reserva, the elevated southern sector of Sotogrande, approximately 4.4 km from the coast as the crow flies. The Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande lies 0.8 km away and Valderrama 3.1 km, while the marina at Puerto de Sotogrande is 2.7 km distant. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 14 km away in a straight line, and Málaga around 84 km.
The property accommodates large households and frequent guests: six en-suite bedrooms, four of which, including the principal suite, sit on the main living level. The dual kitchen arrangement, with a separate preparation kitchen, supports catering at scale. Underfloor heating, air conditioning, a lift and a fireplace cover year-round comfort across both levels.
The villa is key-ready and described as new construction, offered fully furnished. Delivery dates for such properties are indicative. The plot measures 2,052 m² and the built area 1,102 m² across two levels, with parking for four vehicles in a private garage. Completion figures should be confirmed during the purchase process.
The property does not include beach-front access; the nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, is 4.4 km away as the crow flies. Public transport in the area is limited, with nine lines and eight stops, so daily life depends on private vehicles. The villa is a single, fixed-price existing home rather than a new-build development with configurable floor plans.
This property fits a buyer seeking a large, move-in-ready villa rather than a construction project. The configuration, six en-suite bedrooms with four on the main level, suits households that host family and guests regularly, or buyers who want single-level living for day-to-day routines while retaining upper-floor accommodation. The preparation kitchen and open-plan entertaining spaces point towards use for larger gatherings or catered events. The indoor pool and spa extend the leisure season beyond the five months when sea and outdoor pool temperatures are comfortable, which matters for year-round residence rather than summer-only use. The location suits a car-based lifestyle: golf courses are within 0.8 to 3.1 km, the marina at 2.7 km, and a pharmacy, bank, café and dentist all within 2 km, but public transport is thin. Buyers flying via Gibraltar, about 14 km as the crow flies, benefit from short transfers; those using Málaga (roughly 84 km straight-line) should factor in a longer drive. The property is less suitable for buyers seeking walkable beach access, a modest maintenance footprint, or a budget entry into the area. The fixed price of €7,950,000 places it in the top segment of the local market, where transaction volumes are limited, around 849 housing transactions per year in the wider municipality.
The villa is documented as new construction in excellent condition, completed recently and offered fully furnished. The architectural approach uses clean horizontal lines, expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and an elevated position that frames the Mediterranean coastline from the principal rooms. Interior finishes include large-format stone-effect flooring that runs continuously between rooms, decorative wall panelling and a restrained neutral palette; the designer furniture is included and scaled to the architecture. Climate systems combine underfloor heating, air conditioning and a fireplace, giving layered temperature control across seasons. A lift serves both levels, reducing dependency on stairs. Water features are integrated into the outdoor design, visible in the property imagery alongside the patio, outdoor lounge and pool areas. The interior leisure facilities, cinema with a star ceiling, gym, spa and indoor pool, are built into the fabric of the house rather than added as conversions. The dual kitchen arrangement separates a principal kitchen, open to the living areas, from a preparation kitchen used for cooking, catering and entertaining, keeping everyday activity discreet. The garage accommodates four vehicles. Purchasers should verify the exact completion date, appliance specifications and warranty position during due diligence, as delivery and completion figures for recently finished properties are always indicative until confirmed in the title documentation.
Villa Altair is offered as an existing, key-ready home at a fixed asking price of €7,950,000. This is not a from-price within a broader development; it applies to this specific villa with its six en-suite bedrooms, 802 m² of living area, 2,052 m² plot, dual pools, spa, cinema, gym and four-car garage. The property is delivered fully furnished. Buyers comparing against new-build options in the area should note that apartment projects in Sotogrande currently advertise from prices between roughly €341,000 and €549,000, a different segment of the market. Annual ownership costs, community fees, IBI and refuse tax, should be requested separately, as they are not included in the supplied data.
Daily life at Villa Altair revolves around its horizontal layout and the connection between interior and exterior. The main level holds the entrance hall, an open-plan lounge and dining area, four en-suite bedrooms and the principal kitchen, with a second preparation kitchen for catering. Floor-to-ceiling glazing links the living spaces to the terraces, gardens and outdoor pool, so the distinction between inside and outside largely disappears during the warmer months. The southern exposure brings daylight into the principal rooms for most of the day, while the south-west orientation favours late-afternoon and evening sun on the terraces, relevant for anyone who structures their day around outdoor dining. With 802 m² of interior space and roughly 300 m² of terraces, the villa supports both quiet family use and larger gatherings without the two functions interfering. The indoor pool, spa, gym and cinema allow leisure activities to take place within the property itself, which matters in the shoulder seasons when outdoor swimming is less attractive, the local swimming season, with water at or above 20°C, runs about five months. The lift and single-level bedroom arrangement reduce reliance on stairs for most daily routines. Sotogrande itself is a private residential estate of about 25 km² in the municipality of San Roque, stretching from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, so the immediate environment combines fairways, cork forest and hillside rather than dense urban fabric.
The immediate setting is La Reserva, an established luxury neighbourhood in the elevated part of Sotogrande. Within 2 km, daily needs are covered: one pharmacy, two banks, a café and a dentist. The Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 0.8 km away as the crow flies, Club de Golf La Cañada 2.5 km and the Valderrama course 3.1 km, an unusually dense cluster of championship golf within a short radius. The Santa María Polo Club sits 2.3 km away, and the Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km adds general sports facilities; the area counts 66 sports facilities in total. Puerto de Sotogrande, the marina, is 2.7 km distant and functions as the social and dining hub of the estate. Education is well represented, with Sotogrande International School's San Roque campus 3.5 km away and its main site 4.5 km away, alongside 13 primary and 5 secondary schools in the wider municipality. Two health centres serve the local population of roughly 34,310. Note that distances are straight-line; actual road distances can be longer given the estate's layout across hillsides and valleys.
The map shows Villa Altair within La Reserva, on the elevated side of Sotogrande above the coastline. Note the golf courses clustered within three kilometres, the marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, and the position between Gibraltar and the hills of the Sierra Almenara.

Sotogrande is the largest privately owned residential development in Andalusia, positioned in the municipality of San Roque, Cádiz, 25 km north-east of Gibraltar. Within the wider region it forms the western anchor of the Costa del Sol golf corridor: Marbella lies 45 km to the east as the crow flies and Algeciras 21 km to the west, while Jerez de la Frontera is 87 km to the north-west. The location is closer to Gibraltar and Cádiz province than to the Málaga-centred stretch of the coast, which shapes both flight options and the character of the surroundings, lower density, more cork forest and hillside, less high-rise development.
Access is primarily by car. Gibraltar Airport lies about 14 km away as the crow flies, making it the closest international gateway; Málaga-Costa del Sol is roughly 84 km straight-line and serves a far wider route network. Alicante-Elche, at approximately 475 km, is not a practical option. Algeciras, with a population of 121,957 and its port connections, is 21 km away in a straight line; Marbella is 45 km and Jerez de la Frontera 87 km. Public transport exists but is limited, nine lines and eight stops, so a car is effectively required for daily life, and the four-car garage reflects that reality. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles is located 1.8 km away. The beach at Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4.4 km as the crow flies, with the terrain to it essentially flat at a 0.9% average gradient. The gated community with 24-hour security controls vehicle access to the neighbourhood itself.

The site sits at roughly 39 m above sea level on a near-flat gradient, so no significant slopes complicate walking or cycling around the immediate plot. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, consistent with the western Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season, when water temperatures reach 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly June through October. The estate's geography is distinctive: Sotogrande stretches from the Mediterranean back into the foothills of the Sierra Almenara, so the landscape alternates between fairways, cork oak forest and hillside, with views that can extend to the Rock of Gibraltar and, on clear days, the Moroccan coast. This mix of green and maritime environment, combined with low building density for a coastal location of this scale, defines the natural setting. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half of the year, as is typical for southern Andalusia.

The nearest beach, Playa de La Alcaidesa, lies 4.4 km away as the crow flies, reachable by car in a few minutes, though not on foot from the villa. The estate's recreational identity is instead built around golf and polo: three courses within 3.1 km (Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 0.8 km, La Cañada at 2.5 km, Valderrama at 3.1 km) and the Santa María Polo Club at 2.3 km, home to high-goal tournament play each summer. The Complejo Deportivo Zona Norte at 2.1 km and the Piscina Loma del Rey at 4.7 km provide public sports and swimming infrastructure. The marina at Puerto de Sotogrande, 2.7 km away, offers berths, waterside dining and a year-round social scene, and functions as the estate's most walkable quarter. Within the property itself, the outdoor pool, indoor pool, spa, gym and cinema cover much of the day-to-day recreation without leaving the plot. Golf, polo and sailing dominate the local sporting calendar rather than beach life.

Villa Altair occupies a different segment of the Sotogrande market from the area's new-build apartment developments. Projects such as Altara Alcaidesa (from €341,000), Atria (from €423,000) and Adel San Roque (from €549,000) offer apartment living at price points several times below this villa's fixed €7,950,000 asking price. The comparison illustrates the range within a single estate: apartment buyers purchase access to Sotogrande's golf, marina and security infrastructure, while villa buyers in La Reserva additionally purchase land, privacy and extensive private facilities, dual pools, spa, cinema, gym and four-car garage. Within the region, Sotogrande positions itself differently from Marbella, 45 km east as the crow flies. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, offers density, nightlife and a broad services economy; Sotogrande, part of a municipality of about 34,310 people, remains a low-density private estate where the year-round rhythm is set by golf clubs, the polo season at Santa María Polo Club and the marina, rather than by mass tourism, the area counts seven hotels with 1,017 beds in total. Algeciras, 21 km to the west, provides industrial-scale port infrastructure and the nearest large-town services, while Jerez de la Frontera at 87 km extends the options for inland Andalusia. For international access, the villa's location favours Gibraltar Airport at roughly 14 km, a shorter transfer than most of the Costa del Sol can offer, though Málaga-Costa del Sol at about 84 km provides the wider route network. Transaction volumes in the wider municipality run at roughly 849 per year, indicating a thin resale market at this price level, where individual properties are compared more against a small set of direct villa comparables than against the apartment stock that dominates regional marketing.
