Imagine a Marbella full moon yoga cruise where the only sounds are the gentle lap of the Mediterranean, your breath, and the soft hum of a yacht engine as the moon rises over La Concha. This isn't a studio class – it's a 3-hour private escape from Puerto Banús, combining a sunset sail with a guided yoga session on the bow of a 12.5-metre Astondoa 40. With a maximum of 9 guests, you get space to stretch, breathe, and float under a silver sky. All drinks, snacks, and equipment are included – just bring an open mind.
What to Expect on Your Marbella Full Moon Yoga Cruise
Your evening begins at Puerto Banús, where you board the Astondoa 40 – a 12.5m motor yacht with a spacious forward sunpad and shaded cockpit. As the sun dips behind the Sierra Blanca, your skipper eases out past the superyachts and heads toward the open sea. The 45-minute yoga session is timed to start as the moon crests the horizon, led by a certified instructor who adapts every pose to the gentle roll of the boat. After savasana, you'll enjoy soft drinks, cava, beer, or wine while the moon paints a silver path across the water. The cruise lasts 3 hours total, returning to port under a full moon.
Why a Yoga Cruise Works on the Costa del Sol
Marbella's climate delivers over 300 sunny days per year, and the full moon calendar offers 12–13 prime dates annually. The Mediterranean in the evening is typically calm – light breezes and minimal swell – making it safe and comfortable for yoga on deck. The Astondoa 40's forward deck is large enough for 9 mats side by side, with the flybridge providing shade if needed. Sailing from Puerto Banús, you're minutes from open water and the iconic silhouette of La Concha mountain, which frames every moonrise. This isn't a gimmick – it's a genuinely serene way to experience the coast.

We provide a moon phase calendar when you enquire, but popular months – June through September – sell out weeks ahead. The cruise operates from March to November; winter dates are possible on request but depend on sea conditions. Book at least 14 days in advance to secure your preferred date.
