The Resplendent La Reserva

This week, Sotogrande adds to it’s illustrious sporting history when the Aramco Team Series arrives at the resplendent La Reserva Club.

Some of the world’s greatest female golfers are not only set to grace the lush green fairways of the La Reserva Club golf course, but are also ready to sample the refined lifestyle that Sotogrande offers to both residents and guests alike.

The players are some of the first people to experience the brand-new SO/Sotogrande hotel, which opened just last week and is already being lauded as one of the jewels in Sotogrande’s glittering crown.

The five-star hotel, set high above La Reserva Club with views across the sparkling Mediterranean and across to Morocco, features 151 stylish rooms, including 24 premium suites. SO/Sotogrande will provide players with the ideal base for their tournament experience, with peaceful landscaped gardens, the aforementioned vistas and high-class gastronomy.

On top of the hotel, the players have access to all of the fabulous amenities that La Reserva Club has to offer, with many having already sampled the delights of The Beach Club. Known as ‘The Beach’, this state-of-the-art hideaway is Spain’s first and only private inland beach, and it offers guests an unrivalled array of amenities, providing a retreat for players and guests set within the rolling hills of Andalusia.

Sotogrande SA, the promoter and developer of the Sotogrande brand, has in recent years enhanced Sotogrande’s reputation as one of the world’s premiere residential destinations, with new private gated communities that inspire a culture that’s based on family, discretion, privacy, and security with a closeness to nature as well as the area’s world-class amenities.

Marc Topiol, Chairman of Sotogrande SA, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Aramco Team Series event to our wonderful enclave this week. I’ve spoken to many of the players already and some of the compliments have been truly humbling; especially from those who’ve travelled far and wide and sampled the world’s finest courses. It’s pleasing to know that our offering is fit to match the very best golf destinations the world has to offer.

“It’s important to us that all of our guests experience the Sotogrande lifestyle, whether here on vacation or for an esteemed, innovative golf tournament like this one. Having seen the players enjoy our fabulous amenities so far, I’m sure that it will be an experience for them that they will never forget.”

The Aramco Team Series event adds to a long line of global sporting events to have taken place in Sotogrande since its inauguration in the 1960s. Recently, The European Tour’s Open de Espana has been played multiple times in Sotogrande, as has the Andalusian Masters on the European Tour, and perhaps most notably, national hero Seve Ballesteros lifted the Ryder Cup trophy at the spectacular Real Club Valderrama in 1997.

Sotogrande also boasts world famous polo fields at the Santa Maria Polo Club, which this year celebrates the 50^th anniversary of the globally-recognised Torneo Internacional De Polo, a competition that attracts the world’s greatest polo players year after year. The Sotogrande Yacht Club also organises and hosts around 20 prestigious regattas per year, including local, regional, national and even global catamaran, Hobie Cat and cruise races.

Unpretentious exclusivity is now irrevocably engrained in Sotogrande’s DNA, and this week the world’s greatest female golfers have the chance to experience those values, and Sotogrande’s family-centric, revered lifestyle, for themselves.
