Quality new developments in Spain

Sotogrande – West Costa del Sol, near Gibraltar

The most upmarket, sophisticated, well-appointed resort development in Europe

Founded in 1962 by a globetrotting entrepreneur called Joe McMicking, Sotogrande has long been one of the top residential developments in the world. Sotogrande’s success is the result of McMicking’s vision for a stylish, luxurious residential resort combined with careful development of Sotogrande’s extraordinary location. Going strong for more than 40 years, Sotogrande looks poised to enjoy another 40, based on its simple formula of a quality of life that is impossible to beat.

Sotogrande is a golf, polo, and beach resort that has everything you could possibly want from a residential development, including 5 golf courses, a golf academy, polo grounds, a substantial marina, a riding centre, an international school, beach clubs, tennis clubs, a sailing club, luxury hotels, spas, gyms, restaurants, shops, and much more. It is fair to say that there are few residential communities in the world with comparable on-site facilities.

Alanda Flamingos – Marbella, Costa del Sol

Contemporary, stylish apartments with sea and golf views near Marbella

If you value stylish contemporary architecture and chic urban interiors then the only new development in the Marbella area you need to check out is Alanda Flamingos, in the Los Flamingos Golf Resort. No other new development in the area can match its elegant, contemporary architecture, crisp urban interiors, and blend of form and functionality.  In my opinion it is the obvious choice for sophisticated buyers who appreciated design, and want more than just the great weather and lifestyle of the Costa del Sol.

Desert Springs – Almeria, Andalusia

An upmarket residential golf resort and oasis in the desert

There is nothing more welcome than an oasis in a desert and in several respects Desert Springs Resort and Golf Club is just like an oasis.  For a start the lush fairways and perfect greens of the golf course contrast with the arid countryside all around. But in a country like Spain, where outstanding new developments can be hard to come by, Desert Springs is also an oasis of quality and excellence.

Desert Springs is a holiday resort, golf club, and residential development with plenty of personality. For all the right reasons it is not somewhere you can easily forget, nor confuse with any other new development in Spain. Any development that is unforgettable, and unmistakeable, in a positive sense, will always enjoy advantages over the mass of developments that aren’t. This is especially true from an investment point of view.
