Sotogrande, Spain – 06/02/2025 – Sotogrande, located at the southern tip of the Costa del Sol, and the benchmark for luxury living and world-class golf, celebrates a year of significant achievements in 2024 that cement its reputation as one of the world’s most desirable places to live.

A highlight of the year was Sotogrande being crowned the #1 residential golf development in the world by Golf World. This accolade reaffirms Sotogrande’s offering of private living and championship golf and places it at the forefront of global golf developments.

Rita Jordão, Director of Marketing for Sotogrande SA, reflected on the year: “2024 has been a transformative year for Sotogrande. From being recognized as the world’s leading residential golf development to hosting elite professional tournaments and launching groundbreaking real estate projects. We remain committed to continuous investment and innovation to ensure Sotogrande’s longevity as the ultimate residential destination.”

Sotogrande recently unveiled plans for a new Golf Academy, already under construction at the SO/ Sotogrande Spa and Golf Resort. This state-of-the-art facility will offer coaching, practice, and professional training, and is set to become the premier golf academy in the region.

Beyond the fairways, Sotogrande made significant strides in property and sustainability in 2024. In addition to launching Villa Noon, Spain’s first zero-emissions luxury villa, Sotogrande has introduced more exclusive projects into its portfolio, successfully completed the sale of multiple properties within The 15 (one of its marquee developments), achieving more than 50% of units sold. The sales in The 15 include AQUA – a project by ARK Architects that sold within 6 months of its launch. Across its different property developments, the average sale price increased from 2023 by 30%, while Village Verde – a development of luxury apartments – has reached 85% of units sold, more than 6 months ahead of the delivery of its second phase.

The estate’s hospitality offerings also shone in 2024, with the SO/ Sotogrande Spa and Golf Resort being named as the Best Golf Hotel in Spain by the International Property Awards, underlining its world-class service, gastronomy offering, and plethora of amenities.

2024 brought further accolades in global golf rankings. Golf World ranked Sotogrande #6 in its Top 100 European Resorts, a climb of 11 places, while National Club Golfer retained Sotogrande’s #3 position in European Resorts, reaffirming it as Spain’s #1 golf destination. Golf Digest also included Real Club Valderrama (29^th) and Real Club Sotogrande (74^th) in its World Top 100 Courses list – the only Spanish courses to feature.

This comes in a year where Real Club Valderrama, positioned at the heart of Sotogrande, once again hosted the LIV Golf League, with Spanish legend Sergio Garcia securing victory at LIV Andalucia. In addition, Sotogrande’s original golf club, Real Club Sotogrande, hosted the DP World Tour’s Estrella Damm Andalucia Masters in October.
