Sotogrande, already famed for its upscale appeal and stunning landscapes, has been named the world’s number one residential golf development by Golf World. This distinction puts Sotogrande at the pinnacle of luxury real estate, firmly positioning it as the premier destination for those seeking exceptional residential options and access to world-renowned golf courses.
Sotogrande brings together breathtaking Mediterranean scenery, gated communities and some of the most prestigious golf courses in the country, including Real Club Valderrama, Real Club Sotogrande, and La Reserva Club.
“To be at the helm of a ranking among such esteemed company is a testament to the recent strategic investment in Sotogrande, and our commitment to continuous improvement for our residents over 60 years,” says Rita Jordao, Director of Marketing at Sotogrande SA.
“This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to offering not just world-class golf, but a unique lifestyle that blends exceptional, creative real estate with extraordinary amenities. We continue to push the boundaries while remaining thoughtful of the environment in creating an unmatched living experience.”
Innovation and sustainability lie at the heart of Sotogrande’s latest projects. Within La Reserva, the estate’s fourth and most ambitious district, new developments like The Seven, The 15, and Village Verde redefine what it means to live luxuriously. Villa Aqua, located in The 15, recently sold for an astounding €12 million, while Villa Noon, also in The 15, is Spain’s first zero-emissions luxury villa — further proof of Sotogrande’s dedication to high-end, eco-conscious design.
Beyond the new residential heights, the Sotogrande’s reputation in the golf world keeps climbing. Recently, Golf World placed it at No. 6 in Europe’s Top 100 Resorts, an impressive 11-rank rise. It also retained the No. 3 spot in National Club Golfer’s 2024 rankings of European resorts, securing its status as Spain’s premier golf destination.
The estate’s golf courses are conveniently close — only a 15-minute drive apart — and are all top-rated. Real Club Valderrama leads as Spain’s top course, Real Club Sotogrande follows closely at No. 2, and La Reserva Club proudly holds the No. 7 spot. Together, they cement Sotogrande as Europe’s epicentre of world-class golf.
Adding to the grandeur, Sotogrande’s SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort recently won Spain’s Best Golf Hotel accolade at the 2024 International Property Awards. This recognition from a globally respected awards program, dedicated to celebrating the highest achievements in real estate, reflects the destination’s enduring commitment to excellence in both lifestyle and hospitality.
