A few metres from the ocean shore is Sotogrande Racket Centre - it doesn't get more picturesque than this. With a relaxed atmosphere, this is the perfect place to go for a causal game of tennis before a dip in the sea, and a day on the beach.

On the hunt for some sushi? Look no further. Whilst Trocadero beach club come restaurant, serves traditional Mediterranean style food, in the summer months ditch the oak-charcoal rib steak (albeit it's still exceptionally tasty), and go for some tuna tataki, or some salmon uramaki. Delicious, and just what is needed after a tiring day of sunbathing!

A restaurant overlooking the ocean sounds more than ideal to us! Grilled octopus, huelva prawns, and shrimp ceviche are amongst the many seaside delicacies served at this beach club come restaurant. Sit back, enjoy the freshest fish, a cocktail in hand, and listen to the sounds of the lapping waves. Idyllic. 

There are endless beach clubs, and waterside restaurants in Sotogrande, though Gigi's Beach is one that tops our lists. Watching the sun go down, after a stroll along the sand with a jug of Sangria at our side, is as dreamy as it sounds.
