Living in Marbella – Just Enjoy The Perfect Healthy Lifestyle

Hiking up rural hillside trails, running on sandy beaches, skiing from December through to April, and outdoor swimming practically the whole year round. Marbella is no longer simply renowned for a hedonistic nightlife and sunbathing opportunities. The popular resort destination has in recent years gained recognition as providing the perfect healthy lifestyle for those looking for more than just cocktail hour.

The well known factors about living in Marbella are cliched but completely true. The sun does shine almost the whole year round and a Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest in the world – as well as being completely delicious. To lead a healthy lifestyle in Marbella isn’t just easy, it is enjoyable too.

This part of the southern coast of Spain offers endless opportunities for free sporting and recreational activities out of doors, and the area is literally overflowing with facilities that the whole family can enjoy. So enjoy the gorgeous weather and food, and then take your pick from a wealth of activities available in the region and get started on that new healthy lifestyle.

Here are just three ideas to get you going!

Wellness Center Plaza del Mar

Unless you have the gym bug it can sometimes be hard finding the enthusiasm and energy to drag yourself to the gym door, but the Wellness Centre in Marbellas Plaza del Mar genuinely offers you a great incentive to go. Not only does this gym have incredible facilities and a comprehensive schedule of classes – but you can work up a sweat whilst looking at the beautiful Mediterranean sea – as their website states “exercise does not always have to be so hard”. www.plazadelmarcw.com

Paddle boarding

Nalusur offers a comprehensive and fun schedule of paddle boarding activities. Whether you are a beginner or a passionate paddle boarder you will find one or more of their Stand-up Paddle courses to suit you. Choose from touring, racing, yoga or if you like high energy sport why not try the Nalusur SUP Fitness programme? www.nalusur.com/en/paddle-boarding-marbella

Skiing and Snowboarding

Who imagines snow when they think about Marbella? It’s certainly not the first weather condition that comes to mind when you think about the southern Spanish town. However, from December through to April the ski resort of Sierra Nevada opens its lifts and pistes to those who also like their sport fast and downhill – when the snowfall is good. Only a few hours drive from Marbella, the Sierra Nevada slopes contain six ski areas, thirty lifts and over one hundred pistes, which the whole family can enjoy. www.sierranevada.co.uk
