Marbella in spring – the best in the world.

Marbella in March and April offers an abundance of reasons to visit – from its warm and sunny spring weather to a peak golf season, picturesque wildflowers, and breathtaking almond blossoms that color the rural areas in shades of white and pink. However, there’s even more to discover.

Marbella in Spring not only revives its bustling café culture, which continues throughout the winter, but it also offers a unique opportunity to experience the end of one of the longest ski seasons in Europe and the start of the surf season – both within a two-hour radius of the town.

It’s a perfect time to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Marbella, Sierra Nevada and Tarifa.

Roughly two hours from Marbella lie the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada is mainland Spain’s highest mountain range, which makes it a popular weekend excursion spot for residents of the Costa del Sol. The area offers excellent facilities that are suitable even for championship-level skiing, a variety of hotels, restaurants, panoramic terraces, and a lively après ski ambiance. Visitors can enjoy a morning of skiing and spend the afternoon on the nearby beaches of Nerja, as it’s famously known.

But the main attraction of spring in Marbella is the simultaneous availability of snowboarding and kite-surfing within a two-hour range of Marbella and the latter can be found in Europe’s surf capital, Tarifa. Located on the Atlantic Costa de la Luz, a little over an hour west of Marbella, this hippy chic resort town, and the historic port has an ambiance that is all it is own. This fact adds greatly to Tarifa’s appeal as a surfing, beach, and kite-surfing center, where green hills, charming low-rise hotels, and campsites surround the charming historic center of town. The focus, however, is firmly on the deep blue water and the soft, sandy beaches that seem to grow wider as you venture further west towards Boloña. More than just sports, Tarifa offers a relaxed beach experience during the day and a lively social scene at night, making it a perfect spot to ease into summer.
