SO/ Sotogrande Resort - Luxury hotel - Horse riding

Did you know that Sotogrande is the equestrian hotspot of Costa del Sol? The horse culture has been present at Sotogrande for many years and, under the Argentinean influence, the area has become a hotspot for equestrian lovers. You will find many equestrian centers, dressage schools and polo clubs. If you are an enthusiast, there’s a lot to do during your stay in Sotogrande.

Explore the countryside and immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. Take a private horse riding lesson or sign up to a horse trek. There’s a variety of treks available to suit your expertise and preference.

If you are a Polo enthusiast, don’t miss one of the many Polo tournaments held at the local clubs throughout the year. Summers present an especially busy calendar for horse lovers with several important tournaments being held and the renowned Santa María Polo Club. Santa María Polo Club is one of the best and most important polo venues in the world, home to the Grand Slam International Polo Tournament. It’s a significant part of Sotogrande’s social scene and you can’t miss the opportunity to watch this vigorous sport.

And instead of simply watching it, why not try your hand at polo? Our SO Guru will be happy to organize a private lesson for you in one of the local clubs, even if you’ve never ridden a horse before. Beginners will start from learning the rules and safety basics of the sport but the dedicated professionals are also available to help advanced players improve their skills.
