The Mediterranean tugs at your bow as you push off Ventura del Mar beach, the marina’s glittering yachts shrinking into the distance while the shore’s villas watch like quiet onlookers.
This two-hour guided paddle threads a short coastal corridor from Ventura del Mar past El Rodeito, Playas del Duque and La Siesta, skirting breakwaters until you round the mouth of Puerto Banús. The sea here is generally sheltered—an approachable playground where even children from age three (with parent supervision) can take part. Guides run skill-building games and photo stops, and later departures offer a warm sunset glow that dyes the water gold.
The coast around Marbella has layers of history: Roman and Moorish footprints remain inland, while Puerto Banús itself is a modern creation from the 1970s, born of developer José Banús’s vision of a luxury marina. Geologically the strip is mostly sandy beaches interspersed with low rocky points and sedimentary formations shaped by the Mediterranean’s slow currents.
Practical guide: expect light paddling across roughly 3–5 km of calm coastal water, no elevation gain, and groups capped at 20. Safety equipment and a full photo report are provided; basic swimming ability and comfort in a sit-on-top kayak are recommended. Dress for sun and splash—fast-drying layers, a brimmed hat, and reusable water bottle are simple upgrades that make the trip more fun.
Respect the marine environment: steer clear of Posidonia seagrass beds, give wildlife space, and follow your guide’s briefing to keep the experience smooth and safe.

Puerto Banús was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s by José Banús as a luxury marina; Marbella itself shows Roman and Moorish cultural layers inland.
The area’s Posidonia oceanica seagrass is ecologically important—avoid anchoring or paddling through dense beds and pack out all waste.
