Located in one of Spain’s most established golfing destinations, Hotel Encinar de Sotogrande offers a relaxed base for golfers looking to experience the best courses in southern Andalusia<\/a>. Close to Real Club Valderrama<\/a> and surrounded by nature, the hotel combines convenience, comfort and a quieter way to enjoy a golf holiday in Sotogrande.<\/p>\n

\"HOTEL<\/a><\/p>\n

At the Heart of Sotogrande Golf<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Sotogrande, location isn\u2019t a selling point \u2014 it\u2019s the starting point. The hotel sits at the centre of a region that includes Real Club Valderrama, meaning less time in the car and more time on the course. For a golf trip, that matters.<\/p>\n

The practical side is handled with the same ease. Green fees, transfers and tee times are coordinated with flexibility, whether for individual players or groups planning several rounds across different courses. It works because it\u2019s been done many times before, for a wide mix of guests \u2014 from professionals to regular visitors who return each season. Discretion is part of it. So is an attention to detail that doesn\u2019t need to be overstated.<\/p>\n

\"EL<\/a><\/p>\n

Where the Pace Shifts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After the round, everything slows \u2014 deliberately. Set among holm oaks and palm trees, the hotel has a sense of calm that feels intentional rather than incidental, even in a destination as active as Sotogrande.<\/p>\n

Its 106 renovated rooms are housed in a building designed by Jos\u00e9 Antonio Corrales, a National Architecture Award winner, and recognised as part of Andalusia\u2019s architectural heritage. A place with history, and the comfort to match.<\/p>\n

An outdoor pool, gym and generous open spaces complete a setting designed for genuine downtime. More than sixty years on, its character remains intact.<\/p>\n

\"HOTEL<\/a><\/p>\n

The Table Matters Too<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Restaurante Acebuche, the focus is on seasonal Andalusian produce, served in a relaxed dining room or on a terrace set within the gardens. It works just as well after a round as it does as a destination in its own right.<\/p>\n

One detail runs through the entire menu: the olive oil. Finca El Charc\u00f3n EVOO, grown and cold-pressed on the hotel\u2019s own estate, appears from breakfast to dinner \u2014 a small but defining touch that gives the food a clear sense of place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
