The Monda Gun Club offers a great range of activities for all the family and boasts a superb restaurant.

Situated only 15 minutes away from Marbella – take the Ojen Road next to La Cañada and carry on uphill until you see the Monda sign – this popular location is within easy reach of the coast.

Perched amongst the Monda mountains and boasting amazing views down the valley to the coast, this is the perfect setting to relax with a few drinks and a meal or take advantage of the activities on offer.

Quad biking is one of the most popular pastimes amongst the younger generation, and Ashley, the onsite expert, will happily teach beginners the ropes and also take the more experienced riders out on a more challenging trek around the mountains. Clay Pigeon Shooting (Club de Tiro) is also available in the surrounding woodland, and this makes for a fabulous day out in the countryside.

The restaurant and bar open out onto an enormous terrace area with swimming pool, sunbeds and full changing facilities with showers. You can easily spend a day here taking in the views, enjoying a weekend barbecue, topping up the tan and enjoying the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings. The attractive indoor restaurant is also open in the Winter months and offers a great Sunday lunch. All day snacks are available including a great range of salads, sandwiches and children´s meals. The club also hosts live music on many weekends in summer and is available for private party hire.

And for those sports fans who don´t want to miss out on their favourite match, there is a completely separate bar and lounge with comfy sofas and wide screen tvs – showing the best of live sport.

The beautiful and historical white town of Monda with its awesome castle, is situated just below the Gun Club and it is well worth stopping for a look round on the way to up the hill. The whitewashed houses are set against a backdrop of mountains and valleys, and it is hard to believe you are only 15 minutes from the coast!
