Figures are median asking prices for all property types together, measured from 583 live resale listings and current to 7 October 2026. A low price per square metre usually means bigger homes, not a cheaper area. How these are measured.
The measured areas
Sotogrande Costa
The coastal side of the original resort, between the A-7 and the beach, around the Real Club de Golf Sotogrande. Established villas on mature, leafy plots.
Suits: Buyers who want to be near the beach, the marina and the original golf club.
Watch for: Prices are among the highest per square metre, and good plots rarely come up.
Median asking €2,095,000 · €4,763 per m² · typical 465 m² · full Sotogrande Costa figures
La Reserva de Sotogrande
The newest part of Sotogrande, in the hills to the north, built around its own golf course and clubhouse. Most of the area's new-build and off-plan activity is here.
Suits: Buyers who want modern architecture, views and a newer home.
Watch for: Some plots and phases are still under construction, so check what will be built next door.
Median asking €1,437,000 · €4,665 per m² · typical 561 m² · full La Reserva de Sotogrande figures
Sotogrande
Listings advertised simply as "Sotogrande" without a more precise location. They are spread across the resort, so treat this as a resort-wide figure.
Suits: A broad benchmark for the resort as a whole.
Watch for: Because the location is vague, compare specific homes against the named areas too.
Median asking €1,750,000 · €4,583 per m² · typical 412 m² · full Sotogrande figures
Alcaidesa
Golf and sea views on the coast between La Línea and Sotogrande, about fifteen minutes from Gibraltar, with two courses and its own marina.
Suits: People working in Gibraltar, golfers, and buyers after sea views at a lower price than Sotogrande.
Watch for: Fewer shops on the doorstep, and exposed when the levante (east wind) blows.
Median asking €579,500 · €4,465 per m² · typical 130 m² · full Alcaidesa figures
Marina de Sotogrande
Apartments, penthouses and townhouses around the harbour, with restaurants and bars on the waterfront.
Suits: Lock-up-and-leave owners, sailors, and anyone who wants to walk to dinner.
Watch for: Busy and noisier in July and August; community fees on harbour blocks can be high.
Median asking €722,500 · €4,169 per m² · typical 172 m² · full Marina de Sotogrande figures
Sotogrande Alto
The hillside half of the original resort, above the A-7. Larger plots, the biggest villas and the most privacy, with Valderrama and several other courses close by.
Suits: Families wanting space, golfers, buyers after a substantial villa.
Watch for: You will drive everywhere, and some streets feel very quiet out of season.
Median asking €2,195,000 · €4,008 per m² · typical 620 m² · full Sotogrande Alto figures
San Roque Club
A gated golf estate between San Roque and Sotogrande, with townhouses, apartments and villas. Its two courses are now run separately: San Roque Club and San Roque Golf.
Suits: Golfers and buyers who want a gated community at a lower price per square metre.
Watch for: A short drive from the beach and the marina; check the estate's community rules and fees.
Median asking €765,000 · €3,646 per m² · typical 252 m² · full San Roque Club figures
Nearby areas we do not yet measure
These have too few listings for us to publish a reliable figure, but they matter to anyone choosing where to live.
San Roque town
The historic hill town and heart of the municipality: whitewashed streets, a lively square and Spanish everyday life, close to both Gibraltar and the coast. Less English is spoken.
Pueblo Nuevo de Guadiaro, Guadiaro and San Enrique
The working villages beside Sotogrande, with supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and services, and homes at more everyday prices. Busier with traffic.
Torreguadiaro
A small fishing and beach village next to Sotogrande, with a relaxed seaside feel. Few homes come up, and it is busy in August.
The bay: Puente Mayorga, Campamento, Taraguilla
The closest areas to Gibraltar and the lowest prices, popular with commuters. This side of the bay sits near the industrial zone around the refinery.
Our advice
- Rent before you buy, ideally through at least one winter.
- Do the commute at rush hour if you will work in Gibraltar.
- Visit the schools before you settle on an area.
- Check community fees and rules before you fall for a development.

The fortnightly index
We do not sell property, we do not list it, and we do not introduce buyers to agents. What we do is measure what this market is asking, and publish it. If you would like the index every two weeks — what moved in your area and what came down — leave an email and we will send it.
