Our selected hotels: Sotogrande - Valderrama - Costa de la Luz

Club MarItÍmo Sotogrande****

In our opinion, by far the best location in Sotogrande: amongst the plush villas of the Sotogrande Private Estate, down on the pleasure port.

Club Maritìmo is a stylish, modern hotel that is surrounded by the best bars and restaurants that Sotogrande has to offer.
A buzz of activity during the summer months, in Spring and Autumn it is more sedate, offering the perfect venue for a relaxing stay amongst the lapping waters of the marina and gently chink-chinking of the yacht-masts

The standard bedrooms are modern through and through with stylish shower-rooms and combined sleeping/sitting areas.  Suites, on the top floor, are also available (at reasonable supplements) and feature pedestal baths in the middle of the bedrooms, amongst other designer features.

The hotel bar is most welcoming and spills out onto the waterside patio, which in turn blends with the outdoor tables of the restaurant.  In the restaurant you will find a blend of traditional and contemporary European cuisine to placate your palate.
You will find many more options for dinner as you stroll the quayside streets.

Gran Hotel Elba Estepona*****


A superb new resort hotel that combines luxury with easy accessibility to the nightlife in Estepona (of which there's quite a lot) and all the golf courses that stretch along the coastline between Marbella and Gibraltar.

The Elba Estepona covers a large area between the main coast road and the Mediterranean.  The main road makes for easy access and the soundproofed hotel building shields the extensive sun deck and pool area from any road noise.

The bedrooms are very spacious with extensive bathrooms and nearly all have balconies that look out over the swimming pool and coast.

For dining in the hotel there are four restaurants at your disposal - so quite a choice without evening venturing out!

In the airy lobby there is a small bar with waiter service covering wherever you may choose to relax.  Later on, the piano bar opens up downstairs providing the perfect spot for extended relaxation and that last nightcap...

Rio Real Hotel***** The Rio Real hotel

A haven of tranquility.  The ultra cool Rio Real hotel sits slightly aloof from the heat of the action in the environs of Puerto Banus.

From the moment you pass through the gates you will feel a certain hushed calm about the place.  As you enter Reception you will immediately feel that this hotel is a little different.  For a start you will descend to your room rather than go up in a lift.

The hotel curls around one side of the 13th fairway and the balconies look out over the course.  The bedrooms have a very funky feel about them with hardly a conventionally straight wall to be found in the place!

On the top level you will also find the Clubhouse; half of which serves as the hotel restaurant in the evenings and where breakfast is served each morning.

Hotel Castellar****

A little out on its own in the hills behind Sotogrande and San Roque the new, funkily styled Hotel Castellar make a very cost effective and peaceful base, with plenty of creature comforts for golfing on the western end of the Costa del Sol.

Bedrooms are well proportioned and most have a balcony that looks out over the small pool or orange gardens.

If you prefer a quieter place to stay, in a non-touristy village, this may well be it.  There is a very good restaurant at the hotel, to dine out elsewhere will involve a car or taxi journey.
