The history of SANLUCAR CLUB DE CAMPO is tightly linked to that of its promoter, D. Alfonso de Hohenlohe, prince, businessman and one of the key characters in the development of the Costa del Sol during the 1950’s. He was the person responsible for many urban, hotel and restoration projects in the luxury tourism industry. Among these we can highlight the Marbella
Club, and the Puente Romano. Don Alfonso not only strictly supervised the promotion of the projects themselves, but also their urban architecture, decoration, landscaping, gastronomy, leisure offer, social events, etc. He marked the product with his unmistakable, high-quality, personal touch.
In 1989, Don Alfonso arrived in Sanlucar de Barrameda in search of a new location for a high-level tourism project in an area in Western Andalusia with lower levels of saturation. This was the starting point for the development of the “Sanlucar Club de Campo” project. During a boat trip along the Guadalquivir River, he conceived the “Sanlucar Club de Campo” project: a space for living without built-up urban areas, where respect of the natural environment prevails and with spectacular views over the Guadalquivir River, Doñana National Park and the vineyards of the Jerez region.
Sanlucar Club de Campo is situated in a privileged location, with unrestricted views over the four cardinal points:
•South: the historical monuments of Sanlucar de Barrameda;
• West: the Guadalquivir River estuary, the Doñana National Park and the Atlantic Ocean;
• North: the marshy lowlands, the Algaida Mount, and the vineyards of the lowlands of the Sherry region;
• East: the villages of Trebujena, Jerez and El Puerto de Santa María silhouetted against the horizon.
