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
