Parasailing is one of the easiest ways to see Marbella from the air. You take off and land directly from the boat’s platform, staying dry if you prefer, and enjoy a smooth flight over the sea.
How it works
- Boarding in Puerto Banús or Marbella marina.
- Safety briefing and harness fitting.
- Single, tandem or triple flight of about 10–15 minutes, at roughly 40–80 metres depending on the option.
- Views of Puerto Banús, the Golden Mile, La Concha and, on clear days, the African coast.
- While you wait your turn, you enjoy the speedboat ride.
Who it is for
Suitable for almost everyone: children from about 6 years (flying with an adult, depending on the operator), couples and groups. No physical effort or experience needed. Weight limits per flight apply for safety.
What to bring
- Swimwear or comfortable clothes.
- Sunglasses with a strap and sunscreen.
- A phone in a waterproof pouch if you want to film.
Best time to go
April to October, in light winds. If the wind is too strong or too weak, the flight is cancelled or rescheduled for safety, and you can pick another slot during your stay.
