Looking to take part in some sports on your Marbella holidays? We've compiled a list of what's on offer old favourites and less well-known sports so you can take your pick.
Team Xtreme Marbella
Canyoning is a sport in which you travel canyons using a variety of techniques. These include walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling, and swimming. Team Xtreme Marbella Canyoning tours offer a challenging but fun outdoor experience that gets people back to nature and pushing their body in jumping, swimming, and climbing. Canyoning is a great activity for families.
Team Xtreme Marbella also offer wakeboarding, trekking, cycling, mountain biking, four by four, and skiing, as well as more adventurous off-the-beaten path type activities such as sky diving, caving, ice climbing and rock climbing, kayaking, hot air ballooning, scuba diving, surfing, dog sledging, paragliding and quad biking.
The Club de Hielo
Benalmadena's ice skating rink, The Club de Hielo, is located thirty minutes from Marbella so you will have to get a bus, or catch a taxi there, but the journey will be well worth it for the look on your family's face when they arrive. The Club de Hielo is the first permanent, covered ice skating rink in Andalucia, and is nine hundred metres squared. The rink is located in a sport complex that also boasts an eight-lane swimming pool, a kids' pool, a gymnasium and a cafe for refreshments.
Kite board Academy
Fancy learning a new sport on your Marbella holidays? Kite boarding is a combination between power kite flying and surfing. At the Kite board Academy fully qualified instructors have served their apprenticeships along this coastline, and are now experts in looking for and finding the best conditions. The Kite board Academy is totally mobile, which allows the instructors to find conditions that best match the abilities of their students. It also means that the academy moves around depending on what the wind and waves are doing, so ring them to find out where they are before booking.
