Toppleilighet over to plan i Sotogrande Marina

Sotogrande Marina is one of our favourite places to live on the whole coast, and Ribera del Arlequin puts you right in the thick of it. Stroll to the Port's restaurants, bars, cafés and shops, wander down to the beach, and enjoy that lovely buzz of boats and sunshine on your doorstep. Golf, polo, padel and the international schools are all close by, and with Gibraltar and Málaga airports within easy reach, it's spot on for full-time living and holidays alike.

This duplex apartment offers 192m2 built including a 23m2 terrace, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms spread over two levels – plenty of room for family and guests. From the terrace you get those cracking marina views, perfect for a glass of something cold as the boats come in. It's key ready and comes furnished, so there's nothing to do but unpack, and underground parking means no circling for a space in the summer. With beach access and everything walkable, the car can stay parked up for days.

Now for the clever bit. Being in the Marina rather than the Port, you're buying freehold, not leasehold – and that matters. Add a tourist licence, so you can earn rental income when you're not using it, and you've got a property that works as ‌a ‌family ‌home, ‌a holiday ‌base ‌or a proper investment. ‌Four-bedroom ‌homes in ‌the Marina with ‌a licence are ‌hard ‌to find. Get ‌in ‌touch ‌to ‌arrange ‌a ‌viewing.
