Context
Parasailing in Marbella takes place along the southern Andalusian coast, where the mild climate and calm waters of the Mediterranean create ideal conditions for year-round flying. The flight reaches altitudes of up to 80 meters, offering a rare aerial perspective in the region. Boarding occurs from a local marina, and the short boat ride to the launch zone provides scenic views of the Málaga coastline.
The experience
After a safety briefing, you board a motorized boat that sails out into open waters. Attached to a specialized parafoil, you are gently lifted into the sky, rising 70 to 80 meters above the sea. Feel the wind on your skin as you gaze down at the bay and shoreline from above, with the sound of the engine and gentle waves beneath you during the 10- to 15-minute flight. A professional monitor oversees the entire process to ensure safety throughout.
For whom
This activity is suitable for families with children from age 4, couples, and small groups of up to three people. Participants should have good mobility and no fear of heights. Not recommended for individuals with vertigo or medical conditions that limit light physical activity.
Local context
Marbella blends maritime tradition with active tourism, featuring its historic old town nearby and a modern range of water sports. The local community values coastal conservation and supports activities that respect both the natural and cultural environment.
