Alcaidesa – The Costa del Sol’s Hidden Gem by the Sea 

Nestled between Sotogrande and Gibraltar, Alcaidesa is one of those rare places on the Costa del Sol that manages to feel both peaceful and exclusive, a coastal haven surrounded by nature, golf courses, and endless sea views.

With its elegant architecture, sweeping hillsides, and the glimmer of Gibraltar on the horizon, Alcaidesa offers a truly unique setting for those seeking a balance between tranquillity and connection. It’s a place where mornings start with a walk along golden sands, and evenings end with pink skies melting into the Mediterranean.


A Coastal Village with Character

Alcaidesa feels worlds away from the busier resort towns, yet everything you need is close by. Its charming village centre has cafés, restaurants, and local conveniences, while the nearby marinas of Sotogrande and La Duquesa add a touch of luxury and lifestyle, from beach clubs to boutique shops and dining by the sea.

The village is well-connected too: Gibraltar airport is only 15 minutes away, and Marbella is just a short drive along the coast, making Alcaidesa an ideal location for full-time residents, commuters, and holiday homeowners alike.


For the Love of Golf and Nature

Alcaidesa is best known for its world-class golf, home to the renowned Links and Heathland courses, now part of the prestigious La Hacienda Alcaidesa Golf Resort. The reimagined Links course has quickly become one of Europe’s most talked-about golf destinations and it’s easy to see why. Its fairways run parallel to the sea, with Gibraltar and Africa visible in the distance, creating an unforgettable backdrop for every round.

Beyond golf, the area is surrounded by protected natural landscapes and walking trails, offering a sense of calm and connection that’s increasingly rare along the coast.


Homes with a View

Property in Alcaidesa is all about light, space, and views. From modern apartments overlooking the Mediterranean to elegant villas nestled into the hillside, homes here blend contemporary comfort with timeless Andalusian charm. Many developments include communal pools, landscaped gardens, and panoramic terraces, designed for slow mornings and sunset evenings.

For buyers, Alcaidesa represents exceptional value for money on the western Costa del Sol. It’s an area still on the rise, attracting both local and international clients who appreciate its quiet sophistication and natural beauty.


Why Kiwii Loves Alcaidesa

At Kiwii Real Estate, we’ve always believed in celebrating the colours, landscapes, and lifestyle that make the Costa del Sol so special. Alcaidesa embodies all of that,  an inspiring blend of sea, sky, and serenity, where life moves at its own perfect pace.
