The Beach at La Reserva Club sits inland in Sotogrande Alta, built around a 17,000 m² man-made lagoon fed by a natural valley. The sand came from Punta Paloma in Tarifa. It's unlike any other beach club in the Cádiz province.
See how it stacks up against the rest in our Cádiz beach clubs guide.
The main beach area covers 2,800 m² with a sandy-bottomed lagoon. Single sunbeds run €25 per day, doubles €60. Full waiter service covers the terraces and sand, so you don't need to move once you're settled.
A separate lagoon handles watersports: kayaking, SUP boarding, and electric surfboarding. There's also a spa zone and a 25-metre heated pool that stays open in the cooler months.
Families do well here. The kids club takes children aged four and over with qualified staff, giving parents actual downtime. DJ sessions run Wednesday and Friday evenings in summer under the "Apres Beach" programme, mid-June through early September.
Rated 4.7 from 320 Google reviews. Prices sit at €€€. Book ahead in July and August, especially on weekends. The club operates seasonally, with the pool open on weekends through winter.

Food & Drinks at The Beach at La Reserva Club
Ancala is the on-site restaurant, focused on Andalusian cooking with Mediterranean influences. It's a proper sit-down dining option, not just a poolside snack bar. The fine dining angle fits the €€€ pricing.
Full waiter service runs across the terraces and beach area, so you can order from your sunbed. Drinks flow all day. Ancala stays open on weekends through winter even when the beach closes for the season.
