It’s more glitzy cousin down the road might dominate most of the glamour headlines but Sotogrande arguably leads the way against Marbella when it comes to ultra-refined living. This renowned macro-urbanisation extends from the luxurious surroundings of a picturesque marina – the first Mediterranean port-of-call for yachts and other ocean-going vessels entering through the Straits of Gibraltar – through tree-lined avenues resplendent with palatial mansions partly concealed behind imposing gates, and inland to cutting-edge contemporary homes in the nature-embraced heights of the residential estate. Located at the eastern end of C\u00e1diz province, in San Roque municipality, Sotogrande is – apart from a popular holiday area for the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of Spanish society as well as visiting global aristocracy and A-list celebrities – home to some of Europe’s finest golfing amenities.
