Marbella may be known as the glitziest place on Spain’s Costa del Sol, but its lesser-known neighbour Sotogrande has enough going for it to earn the accolade of hidden gem, especially if you can afford the finer things in life. After the isolation and lockdown of the last 18 months, we all need to get back into vacation mode, back into the sunshine and warmth. Plus, we could all do with treating ourselves to some luxury. After all, we definitely deserve it, having been through such an uncertain time. So, where might you go to find relaxation in high-end surroundings? Where can you kick back, relax and treat yourself at the same time?

But we’re betting that you’re looking for a destination where you can reconnect with yourself, your family and your friends. And in peaceful surroundings. If that’s the case, then we know you’ll love Sotogrande as your next luxury holiday destination.
