Cableski Marbella

Another fantastic day out for all the family is at Cable Ski Marbella, which is actually at Guadalmina, about a 10 minute drive from the apartment.

Fully trained instructors are there to help people of all ages and abilities, to waterski, wakeboard or kneeboard while they are pulled along the lake on a cable system . The cable speed can be adjusted according to age and ability and trips last approximately one minute. Even if everyone doesn't want to take part, it's still a great day out as there is a restaurant and a pool on the premises to accomodate little ones not old enough to ski. So you can go and be involved as much as you want or just chill and watch the more adventurous do their thing.

This review is taken from Marbella Family Fun website:

"We have been going to Cable Ski Marbella every year for the last eight years and absolutely love it. At this facility you can ski, kneeboard or wakeboard. Two people can go on a kneeboard, which is really fun and I can´t wait to start this summer with my 5 year old son.

The ride lasts a couple of minutes and there are probably about 10 people that go on one after the other. Kind of like a snow ski lift. When you fall you simply swim out of the way and wait for a boat to pick you up for the next round.

It´s best to buy a packet of 5 or 10 rounds, and if you don´t use them up the same day you can come back and use them another day. All the equipment is provided including life jackets.

Cable Ski Marbella is a great place to have birthday parties too as they can set up a bouncy castle, provide food from their restaurant and the kids have a great time on the playground next to a grassy area that overlooks the lake, which is huge. This is particularly nice in case you go with kids who don´t or can´t cable ski and they can just hang out and play in this area.

I definitely recommend Cable Ski Marbella as a great family outing and a sporty day out. You really feel good at the end of the day."

The Local Area

We think the location of our apartment is ideal for access to all that you would want on a holiday, but of course we're a bit biased! See what previous guests have said about staying in this particular bit of the Costa Del Sol:

"The apartment was centrally positioned for exploring the area from Malaga to Gibraltar. Lots of good restaurants and quaint little towns to visit such as Benahavis about 15 minutes away"
Tom and Caroline, Aberdeen, Scotland

"We loved the close beaches and also the Laguna Village Beach"
The Mason Family, Laperche, France.

"It's a great area to visit for families and we particularly enjoyed our day out at Selwo wildlife park. We also had a lovely meal out at Laguna Village on our last night. I can highly recommend a family visit to the Costa del Sol and in particular to this apartment in Estepona."
Abi & Family, Shropshire, UK

"We arrived at the airport and car hire was easy, as were the directions and so got to the apartment an hour and 30 Min's after landing. There were a number of very good restaurants nearby, but as the week went on we went further afield and it was still good quality and suitable for families. The beach was near again but we found a quick drive to Estepona and you had a great beach and more shops etc if you did not want to stay and cook all day. We also did a day trip to Gibraltar and it's only just over half an hour away and a great day out, with very cheap duty free"
Chris & Family, Barnards Castle, UK

"My family stayed at Los Altos de Lunymar from 20 – 29 December 2010. Our sons are aged 22 and 19 and the location was perfect for us as they found plenty to keep them amused in the surrounding area. This time of year was very quiet so we were able to easily get into local restaurants and the weather was wonderful with only two rainy days but Christmas and Boxing Day the temps were up to 26C. The local people are very friendly and communication is not a problem as simple English is understood by a lot of the populace... The Estepona marina is a lovely place to walk around with its abundance of restaurants and the Sunday market is a fun atmosphere. The local road network is great, it only took us under an hour to get down to Gibraltar and the drive down to Tarifa is spectacular. This area of Spain has some wonderful picturesque scenery"
Kevin Davies, Senior Financial Manager, South Africa

Estepona - you'll love it!

Just a 5 minute drive from the apartment is our favourite town in the area, Estepona. It's a town which has kept its Spanish character unlike many in the area.

Estepona is renowned for its beaches, which stretch along some 21 km of coastline, making it a popular resort and holiday destination but you'll still see more locals around than tourists. The town is helped by being surrounded by the sea and Sierra Bermeja mountains, which give Estepona its own a micro climate with over 325 days of sunshine per year.

Estepona Port and Marina is a working fishing port and features daily auctions for a wide variety of seafood. The port is also the location of the Estepona Sunday street market - a collection of stalls selling mostly textile and leather goods.

Estepona is not known for the "night club" culture found in some areas on the Costa del Sol, but it does have a wide variety of restaurants & bars, ranging from local Spanish cuisine to many places serving good seafood as you would expect. Many restaurants offer terraces allowing diners to eat outside during the late evening and most restaurants are located near the seafront, either along the main promenade adjoining the sea or along Calle Real.

The main food stores in Estepona are the large Carrefour complex at the edge of the town, a smaller Carrefour express store in the middle of the town and a number of Mercadona supermarkets.

We hope you like Estepona as much as we do.

Selwo Adventure Park

For a great family day out, just a 15 minute walk, or a short drive from the apartment is Selwo Adventure Park. It's a nature park, an adventure playground and a wildlife conservation and educational facility. There's enough variety there to please adults and children alike and it's right on the doorstep!

The Park is due to open for the 2011 season on the 18th February and for a list of the adventure activities including Europe's longest fixed zip-wire, click the link HERE
