The Ultimate Family Holidays in Marbella full of fun and authentic activities for kids
Designed by second generation owners to create the ultimate living space for children, the Kids Club at Marbella Club is a pure and wholesome wonderland where every ingredient has been carefully considered
to form a playful and dynamic area that invites learning and experience while enjoying a relaxing holiday in Marbella with the family.
Family Fun Activities for Kids
Whether they are budding chefs, dancers, musicians, gardeners or perfumiers, there is something for everyone to enjoy and be inspired by. Children aged from 4 to 14 can partake in age grouprelated
activities run by a dedicated team of credited and qualified bilingual guides who radiate a service that reflects the traditions of the Marbella Club Hotel. Little guests can engage in a range of group activities, including:
- perfume-making using fresh herbs from the Kids Club garden
- flamenco dancing taught by professional dancers in traditional costumes
- mini yoga classes; and archery sessions to perfect their aim.
Meanwhile aspiring chefs can cook up a storm in the Garage Kitchen, design their own pizza and learn how to create a delicious gazpacho or paella with a little help from the resident nutritionist whilst green-fingered friends can potter in the vegetable and herb garden; digging, watering and dancing with the sunflowers.
Regular visits from local experts include a special awareness session with a nearby Malaga animal association who bring small barn owls and eagles to teach the children about local wildlife.
Inspiring local artists also stop by to impart their various passions for sculpting or ceramics. For arty types, easels and pottery wheels await, and for the more active there are endless sport and seaside activities including kayaking, stand-up paddle, tennis, sandcastle building and beach art – all infused with Marbella Club’s overarching ‘back-to-basics’ philosophy which embraces slow and mindful living away from over-stimulating TV programmes, apps and video games caught up in the trappings of modern life.
