Playa de Los Monteros, situated in one of Marbella’s most prestigious residential areas just 5 kilometers east of downtown Marbella, is the premier spot for kitesurfing in the glamorous capital of the Costa del Sol.
How the wind works in Los Monteros
The beach faces south, allowing both easterly Levante and westerly Poniente to blow with a comfortable side or side-onshore angle. During late spring and summer, thermal breezes develop reliably in the afternoon, providing 14 to 18 knots of steady, warm wind under cloudless skies.
Luxury seaside setting
Los Monteros offers an upscale coastal ambiance. Surrounded by elegant private villas, tropical gardens, and famous beach clubs like Trocadero Arena and La Cabâne, it is a favored destination for traveling professionals and kite enthusiasts who appreciate high-end amenities.
Beach layout
The beach is wide, flat, and made of soft golden sand with no rocks or sea urchins. In summer, the Marbella Town Hall designates an official water sports channel where schools and autonomous riders operate safely away from sunbathers.
Safety precautions and local advice
Avoid kiting with North Terral winds, which blow gusty and offshore from the La Concha mountain. Always stay within the buoyed channel when entering and exiting the water in July and August.
