our mission: make it great, safe and sharable

Just a few words about the founders of MarbellaFamilyFun.com...They are a multi-cultural family that has been living in Marbella for years. Their daughter, Kalina, is a multi-lingual Communications Major at the University of California. Their son, Markian, is a well known influencer recognised for spreading positivity throughout the world.

The parents are athletic, enjoy food and discovering new restaurants as well as the rich Andalusian culture. And of course, they have a family dog that tags along on trips… - he loves the dunes of Tarifa! They are also well-traveled, have lived in 5 countries for extended periods of time and feel privileged to live in Marbella.

Why did they move to Marbella? There are so many reasons why they chose to live in Marbella, but it's the great quality of life that ultimately led them here. Although "quality" is a subjective term, there are many objective reasons why life on the Costa del Sol is so unique and special.
