October is one of the most enjoyable months at Serenity Alcaidesa. The intense heat of high summer has passed, the light takes on a golden quality, and the pace of the days feels relaxed yet full of opportunity. It is still warm enough to swim, dine outdoors or spend time at the beach, yet cool enough for golf, tennis or long walks. Not only does Serenity Alcaidesa have everything you need on your doorstep, just minutes away, the upmarket enclave of Sotogrande has a calendar of events that makes this period particularly rewarding for residents.
Polo for everyone
You may not be a seasoned polo follower, and you might not know the difference between a chukka and a mallet, but that does not matter in Sotogrande. What counts is the atmosphere. From 3 to 12 October the Iridike Nation Cup brings teams from across Europe to compete in a lively series of matches. The horses are powerful, the players are skillful, and the crowd is a diverse mix of locals, visitors, and families who come for the fun as much as the sport. There is food, music and a sense of occasion, so even first-time spectators quickly get swept up in it. For residents of Serenity Alcaidesa, it is a great excuse for a day out without travelling far.
Golf at its best
Andalucía is a golf lover’s dream and October is one of the best months to experience it. The highlight is the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters, held from 17 to 20 October at Real Club de Golf Sotogrande. This is part of the DP World Tour and attracts top players from across Europe and beyond. Even if you are not a regular golfer, it is a thrill to watch professionals take on a course designed by Robert Trent Jones, surrounded by cork oaks and immaculate fairways. The event has a festival feel, and you can dip in and out of the action, enjoy the hospitality areas or simply stroll the course in the autumn sunshine.
And if you do play yourself, Serenity Alcaidesa puts you right next to La Hacienda Links Golf Resort, with its spectacular sea views and newly upgraded facilities. Add Valderrama, La Reserva and Almenara just minutes away and you have one of the finest selections of courses anywhere in Europe.
Family fun and community events
October is not only about golf and polo. Sotogrande also has plenty to offer for families. On Sunday 20 October, La Reserva Club hosts a Junior Tennis Tournament and Padel Mix-In, bringing young players together for a day of sport and social fun. It is a relaxed way for children and teenagers to enjoy some friendly competition, while parents can watch from the terraces and soak up the atmosphere.
The month ends on a festive note with a Halloween Party at La Reserva Club’s Racquet Centre on 31 October. The event features themed games, treasure hunts and activities designed for younger children, making it a lively celebration for the whole family. For residents of Serenity Alcaidesa, these community gatherings add another dimension to life nearby, showing that Sotogrande in October is as much about togetherness as it is about international sport.
Food and flavour
October is a great month to enjoy the dining scene in Sotogrande. The marina stays lively, with terraces full at lunchtime and long dinners stretching into the evening. Don Diego is hosting an Art and Dine evening on 16 October, pairing a creative three-course menu with wine and exhibitions. It is the kind of night that feels both relaxed and a little special, perfect for a mid-autumn treat.
Elsewhere, favourites such as KÉ serve up Mediterranean classics in a laid-back setting, La Quinta offers hearty food right by the polo fields, and Cortijo Santa María 1962 continues to impress with Nicolas Isnard’s Michelin-inspired menus. Seasonal produce comes into its own at this time of year, with local fish, game and autumn vegetables giving chefs plenty to work with. For residents of Serenity Alcaidesa, it means that whether you want a casual supper or something more refined, there is always somewhere nearby with flavour and atmosphere.
Serenity Alcaidesa as your home
After a day at the polo fields, the golf course or a lively dinner at the marina, Serenity Alcaidesa offers the comfort of coming home. The community is designed for year-round living, with landscaped gardens, a beach-entry pool, Jacuzzis, a gym, yoga decks and co-working spaces. Apartments and penthouses enjoy open layouts, high-quality finishes and generous terraces that frame views of the sea, mountains, resort and the fairways of La Hacienda. It is a resort that makes everyday life feel like a holiday, even in the less-busy Autumn months.
A lifestyle and an investment
Choosing Serenity Alcaidesa is not just about a beautiful apartment. It is also about investing in an area that is growing in prestige. With the redevelopment of La Hacienda, the arrival of the Fairmont and OKU hotels and the ongoing popularity of Sotogrande’s social calendar, the potential for both lifestyle and value is strong. October is a perfect time to see this balance in action, when the atmosphere is relaxed but the events calendar is still bustling.
