The Hills, San Roque: A Luxury Hotel & Lifestyle Destination

Just meters from the Sotogrande marina and Mediterranean coast, The Hills spans 34 hectares and will become one of the most ambitious mixed-use lifestyle destinations in the region, centred around an iconic beachfront polo field with unrivalled views of Sotogrande, Gibraltar and Africa.

The development will include:

• A luxury five-star hotel and wellness retreat operated by a leading, global hospitality brand

• Signature dining concepts, a beach club, spa, and health-focused amenities

• 16 architect-designed villas with sweeping coastal views

• The Boulevard — a reimagined Andalusian village with boutique retail, cafés, and luxury apartments.

• A cutting-edge private hospital and integrated health and longevity centre

• A 500-space underground car park to preserve open-air walkability and natural views.

• 
  

With an initial investment of over €120 million, and a total cost to construct projected at €320 million, The Hills is projected to generate more than 250 direct and 500 indirect jobs, and will transform the hospitality offering for luxury travellers in the region.

The Owners Club, Casares

Set against the unspoiled natural landscape of Casares and adjacent to Polo Valley’s existing estate, The Owners Club will act as an extension to the current facilities: a private retreat for top-level riders, teams, and polo organisations.

Key features will include:

• 6 private barns housing a total of 72 spacious stables

• A full-size, year-round, top level competition polo field

• A world-class equine exercise track & facilities.

• Year-round management and staffing by top polo professionals

• Creation of 25 sustainable, skilled jobs

• 
  

"This is more than a development—it’s a sanctuary for the sport," said Christian Byrne, founder of Polo Valley. "Casares is where Polo Valley was born, and with The Owners Club, we’re honouring that legacy with a project rooted in nature, excellence, and discretion. This project also honours the original vision of Sotogrande—a place where lifestyle and landscape coexist beautifully. With The Hills, we’re evolving that legacy through thoughtful design, enduring infrastructure, and a deeper connection to wellness, community, and sport”
