This summer SO/ Sotogrande opens its doors and brings a unique resort experience to the area. It is a revolutionised, reimagined, Andalusian cortijo which blends contemporary and high-fashion design with the area’s tradition. Brought to you by the luxury hotel brand SO/, this is the brand’s very first hotel in Spain and its first European resort. With the opening of this new hotel, SO/ Hotels and Resorts has brought its inventive and refined interpretation
of luxury to Sotogrande. Epitomising unconventional, rebellious and playful luxury, this hotel brings together the vibrant and innovative personality of a design hotel, with fashion and lifestyle.
This hotel offers guests 152 rooms and suites, with a fashion-forward design by Spanish fashion designer Dolores Cortés. They all feature terraces or balconies, most with floor-to-ceiling windows, a lavish bathtub and separate rain-shower. They are stylish, comfortable and the perfect place to relax and rest.
But SO/ Sotogrande also offers so much more than just rooms and suites. This is a hub for innovative and authentic gastronomy, with six restaurants and bars to choose from.
Sip extraordinary cocktails and enjoy an exciting social experience in MIXO, the hotel’s contemporary and fun bar, which combines a lively club feel with a chic lounge. Sample the very best Andalusian produce and delicious traditional cuisine in the restaurant CORTIJO, including a Pata Negra corner. HI-SO is the location for audacious pool parties and delicious chiringuito style food from the wood-burning oven, completing the atmosphere with great tunes. SOCIAL-CLUB is the revamped club house, with panoramic views over the golf course and a wonderful selection of drinks, snacks and meals which can be enjoyed by golfers and guests alike. MIXO VVIP is a chic and intimate bar ideal for private events and parties and a fine-dining restaurant will be opening next year to take diners on a culinary
journey.
The idyllic gardens offer the perfect place to wander, contemplate and feel calm and relaxed and there are three stunning pools with panoramic views.
The SO/ Spa and Healthclub offers an exceptional selection of treatments and cutting-edge technology to leave you feeling relaxed, energised and looking great. Alongside the spa rooms and treatment cabins, you’ll find a Cryotherapy, Flotion and Physio room, thermal and hydro pools, hammam and an area to relax and get together with friends. There is also a state-ofthe- art fitness centre with the latest equipment and activities.
What was once a charming farmhouse has been transformed into a haven of well-being and serenity, offering the perfect base to explore everything that Sotogrande has to offer.
Explore the lush, countryside on foot or on horseback, take to the water on a magnificent yacht, dive into the crystal waters just off the coast, or practice your swing on one of the many world-famous golf courses within easy reach of the hotel. Sotogrande awaits the lucky guests of this stunning hotel!
As part of the SO/ Sotogrande hotel project, the Almenara Golf Course has also had a makeover to make it much more player-friendly. A whole raft of changes have been made, including the removal of approximately 20 bunkers and pruning the trees on the course
to give the feeling of wider and more generous fairways. Hole 1 of the Los Pinos course had a very steep drop to the left, this has been altered to make this hole flatter and more playerfriendly. Holes 3 and 4 have had the tees modified and hole 5 has had alterations to two long bunkers.
The team has taken note of all the player feedback they have received over the years and have worked to improve it in all areas and they can’t wait to hear what regular players think of the improvements.
