Entertainment & Activities
We love the “Sailing School” run by Elvis a local expert and instructor. You can rent sailboats in many sizes, hire a captain and take the family out for an hour, or take classes to captain your own boat. Paddleboards also available. Right on our beach, after the first kiosk as you walk onto Playa Ballenas coming from the villa.
