What are the activities to do in Marbella?

Considered as the capital of the Costa del Sol, Marbella has undoubtedly sufficient ingredients to be one of the most important tourist spot in Spain. Its fame is due to the fact that is the favourite summer spot for celebrities plus the immeasurable luxury of the city. Thus, Marbella has much more to offer…its Mediterranean coast extends along 27km, whilst south to the city it’s boarded by the Sierra Blanca mountain range.

The merging of these two beautiful sites gives Marbella the opportunity to marvel its travellers with some of the most exciting sports in different areas of the city. Not only SUP paddling and canoe-kayaking activities are known to be popular in the Lake of Istan (15km away). Also scuba diving, Jet Ski and water-skiing and sailing are quite famous in the area.

Activities like mountain biking or quad biking are ideal to do in Sierra Blanca’s summits. The uphill and downhill paths will take you to some of the most wonderful hidden viewpoints, allowing you to soak in the beauty of the town.

A vacationing spot like no other, Marbella offers lux, great gastronomy and of course adrenaline adventures that will last for a lifetime!

Great experience! My teenage sons and husband highly enjoyed themselves and it was the right speed for me. They would sign back up in a heartbeat. Jose Carlos was a great guide who was there at every moment to help us along the way.

It was super fun and adventurous. It is a level 1 canyoning so if you want more of an adrenaline rush I don't recommend this activity. But if you are looking to jump, swim and walk around in nature this is definitely the adventure you are looking for!!
