The Equestrian Centre at the Resort is
only 300m from the Villa and is open to
beginners of all ages and for more advanced
riders to hire ponies for hacks in the
local countryside. Tarifa is also a wonderful
place to ride along the vast stretches
of white sands on the beach. Horses can
be hired nearby.
Polo goes from strength to strength in
Sotogrande as the reputation of the
Santa
Maria Polo Club grows. There are now
ten polo grounds spread over three sites
and it is the home of many tournaments
including the Copa de Oro . The climatic
conditions allow play throughout the year
which makes it unique within Europe. Playing
polo in Sotogrande is open to everyone,
there are horses to hire, a polo school
and special grounds for stick and ball.
There are tennis courts at the Resort
which can be booked through the hotel
reception (tennis racquets are available
at the villa). There is also a school
in nearby Sotogrande if lessons are required.
