Valgrande

The first impression is a winning one, as the sense of arrival in Valgrande is impressive indeed. Pass through the gated entrance, and you enter a private domain where elegant sand-toned apartment buildings flank the road as it meanders through lush landscaped greenery. This is an oasis within an area dominated by private gardens and the perfect fairways of the nearby Valderrama Golf Club.

The five-star facilities of what is one of the most exclusive golf clubs in Europe are on your doorstep, as are all the other amenities of Sotogrande – including the marina, beaches and the Sotogrande International School. Ensconced within the privacy of your home or the gorgeous gardens and pool areas of Valgrande, however, you are surrounded by peace and tranquillity.

Inside, the apartments and penthouses of Valgrande are large and beautifully finished with the finest materials, featuring stylish fireplaces, opulently luxurious bathrooms and expansive terraces that become outdoor lifestyle areas in their own right. The complex also has a private spa with heated indoor swimming pool and professional gymnasium, and even the smallest apartments for sale within Valgrande are large and luxurious – let alone the penthouses.

Each apartment comes with two parking spaces and a large storage room, as well as under floor heating, climate control and access to the development’s very own putting green. Handy, as Sotogrande is a bastion of the gentleman’s game, so you can hone your golfing skills at home. The views from this 24-hour gated community are of the surrounding greenery and sea, with the shops, sports clubs and restaurants of Sotogrande within a five-minute range.

From here, Gibraltar’s international airport is 15 minutes away, Málaga an hour, and Estepona and Marbella 15 and 30 minutes respectively.
