Paddleboarding in Marbella

On the beaches east of Marbella, around Los Monteros, the sea wakes up calm most days of the year. That is where we run paddleboarding lessons and guided tours: clear water, sand and the silhouette of La Concha behind you. Complete beginners, families with kids and groups looking for a different plan.

Paddleboarding is the perfect gateway to the club's other sports: same balance, same sea-reading, zero barriers. Many of our Marbella students start with a paddle tour and end up trying wingfoil or surf with us. Book on WhatsApp and build the plan your way.

From May to October the sea is at its most stable and sunrise sessions are spectacular. In winter we still go out on calm days, wetsuit included. If wind breaks the session, we reschedule at no cost.

Paddleboarding routes in Marbella

The star tour leaves from the Los Monteros area and follows the eastern coastline past sandy coves and seafront villas. We paddle unhurried, with stops to swim and take photos. For big groups we organise simultaneous outings with several instructors.

How you progress with us

First session: knees to standing, basic turn and straight paddling. Second: efficient stroke and fine balance. From there, longer tours or the natural jump to wingfoil, where the balance you have built is pure gold.
