The story of a unique Resort called Sotogrande began in 1962, when Joseph McMiking from Ayala Cooperation from Manila, Philippines, asked his Employee Fredy Melian to go on a mission to Spain and find the ideal plot for him to create a unique an exclusive resort for families and friends. He based the vision of this project on the luxury Forbes Park estate in Manila. The criteria were clear; a large place, with at least one kilometre of coastline, good connections and lots of water. This is where it all began.
Joseph McMicking and his Nephews invested in five farms: Sotogrande, Paniagua, Valderrama, El Conchudo and Los Canos, with a total of 1,800 hectares. Close to the mouth of a large river, an international airport, a natural cork forest and beautiful beaches.
They decided to call the resort Sotogrande after one of the farms acquired and believed it to turn into one of the most luxurious and finest resorts in the world with a low building density and respect for the natural beauty.
Since then, Sotogrande has grown more and more. In 1963 Mc Micking hired Robert Trent Jones, a very well-known golf course architect at the time to design the prestigious Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, now within the top of rankings for best golf courses in Europe. At that time, the club was the central meeting point in Sotogrande and the first bungalows for visitors were built around the golf club. In the 80´s the resort started to grow and made a strong commitment to sports.
Today Sotogrande offers five golf courses, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, La Canada, Almenara, La Reserva Golf Club and the world famous Valderrama Golf Club where first-class golf events have taken place, such as the 1997 Ryder Club, The Volvo Masters or the Spanish Open.
