Sphere is an exclusive new development project consisting of 30 to 33 homes in Sotogrande, Cádiz. The project is currently under construction with an expected completion in the second quarter of 2026. The design includes apartments with 3 or 4 bedrooms, with living areas ranging from approximately 200 m² to 330 m². The residences focus on sustainability and spaciousness, featuring large glass surfaces and integration with the surroundings. The complex boasts extensive communal amenities, including an indoor pool, a gastro bar, and co-working spaces.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in Sotogrande, a large private residential development in the municipality of San Roque. The location is inland, situated at approximately 114 meters above sea level, providing a rural and tranquil environment. From this location, there are views of golf courses, hills, and the sea in the distance. The immediate surroundings are characterized by green fairways and cork oak forests, fitting the natural landscape of the Sierra Almenara foothills.
The apartments are designed for residents prioritizing space, privacy, and modern amenities. The layouts are open and allow for abundant natural light, with terraces ranging from 40 m² to 260 m². Ground-floor apartments feature private gardens up to 155 m². The project targets wellness and sustainability certifications (BREEAM and WELL), indicating a focus on a healthy living environment and energy efficiency.
Sphere is currently in the construction phase. Completion is indicatively expected in Q2 2026. The architecture is modern and organic, featuring curved elements that follow the natural lines of the landscape. The finishes include high-quality materials and advanced climate systems for heating and cooling. Note that construction projects are subject to potential delays.
The location is inland and not directly on the seafront. Beaches, such as Playa de La Alcaidesa, are approximately 6.9 km away. The environment is rural and quiet, meaning immediate access to a bustling city life or walking promenades is absent. A car is essential for all daily movements, as amenities are spread out.

This project fits well with buyers looking for a permanent main residence in a quiet, exclusive environment. The combination of space (minimum 3 bedrooms) and the proximity of international schools within short distance (0.5 km - 3 km) makes it suitable for families. For golfers, the location is ideal, with multiple clubs within a 2 km radius. It is also suitable for remote workers seeking a professional environment (co-working) without living in an urban setting. Less suitable for those wishing to live without a car or seeking direct beach access.
Sphere aims for high construction quality, evidenced by its ambition for BREEAM 'Excellent' and WELL 'Gold' certification. The architecture by ONYS and Morph uses 'living' lines and organic shapes, reflected in facade and interior finishes. Installations are modern, including air conditioning (hot and cold) and underfloor heating in bathrooms. Kitchens are designed as open spaces connected to the living area. Finishes utilize sustainable materials that fit the aesthetic of the surroundings, emphasizing the relationship with outdoor living through extensive glazing.
Prices for homes in Sphere start from €1,619,000. This level reflects the exclusive Sotogrande location and the size of the homes (starting around 218 m²). Pricing varies depending on the apartment size, location within the complex, and terrace or garden size. There is a limited supply of 30 to 33 units, restricting availability. Published prices exclude purchase taxes and fees.
Living at Sphere means residing in an oasis of calm, away from the hustle of the coastal strip, yet with all facilities within reach. The morning starts with views of the expansive golf course or the green of the hills. Due to the elevation of 114 meters, there is often a refreshing breeze and less humidity than directly at the seaside. The home design supports a lifestyle where indoor and outdoor living merge; the large terraces act as additional living space. However, daily groceries require planning, as the nearest supermarket is 4.1 km away. The social facilities of the project itself, like the gastro bar and co-working spaces, offer alternatives for socializing and work close to home.
The environment of Sphere is dominated by the extensive golf courses and the natural beauty of Sotogrande. The area is car-friendly but dependent on cars. For daily amenities like a pharmacy (4.3 km) or supermarket (4.1 km), a car drive is necessary. International schools, such as Sotogrande International School, are within walking or cycling distance (0.5 km), relieving the morning rush for families. The social infrastructure around Sotogrande Marina is approximately 7.2 km away, serving as a destination for dining and entertainment on weekends.
The map shows the strategic positioning of Sphere within Sotogrande, nestled between the top golf courses Valderrama and La Reserva. The distance to the coastline (top) and Gibraltar Airport (right) is clearly visible.
Sphere is located on the western side of the Costa del Sol, in the province of Cádiz. This is the 'Costa de la Luz' side, distinct from the busier Costa del Sol of Málaga. Sotogrande is a gated community, meaning it is enclosed and offers 24/7 security, giving the region a safe and exclusive character. The position is unique: rural enough for quiet, but close enough to Gibraltar (15 km) for international amenities and tax benefits.
The location is strategic for frequent travelers, with Gibraltar Airport just 15 km away. For international flights from Málaga, the distance is approximately 87 km. Highways (A-7) are easily accessible, offering connections to Marbella (northeast) and Cádiz (northwest). Public transport is limited; while bus lines exist in the region, their frequency and routing make a car essential.

Sotogrande enjoys a microclimate with over 300 days of sunshine per year. The average annual temperature is around 18.2°C. The inland location offers protection from the salty sea breeze but provides warmer summers and slightly cooler nights than directly on the coast. The elevation of 114 meters offers panoramic views of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean. Vegetation consists mainly of Mediterranean pine trees, cork oaks, and the green fairways of the golf courses.

Although the project is not directly on the seafront, beaches are easily accessible by car. Playa de La Alcaidesa, a Blue Flag beach, is 6.9 km away. For water sports enthusiasts, Sotogrande Port at 7.2 km is the hub for sailing and paddle boarding. The recreational focus of the location, however, lies heavily on golf: with Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, Valderrama, and La Reserva in immediate proximity, this is one of Europe's most renowned golf areas.

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.

Compared to projects on the east side of Marbella, such as in Nueva Andalucía, Sotogrande offers a different vibe: more open, greener, and less touristy. While projects like 'Altara Alcaidesa' (from €341,000) are closer to the beach but offer fewer amenities, Sphere focuses on 'luxury golf living' with a high level of service. Prices for Sphere (starting from €1.6M) are significantly higher than average apartments in the region, justified by the home sizes and location status. Sotogrande distinguishes itself with international schools and proximity to Gibraltar, making it attractive for expats.
