About Tarifa Beach Polo

Tarifa Beach Polo has been a personal initiative of Isabel de Borbón, player and fan of this sport, which has imported the modality from the United States: "It occurred to me because I was living for a while in the United States, and there is very popular the Miami Beach Polo, which has more than ten editions, and it is a very nice and different event that people like very much.

The modality of sand polo is a recent trend within the sport, which is played on a smaller track, but also closer to the public.

Isabel de Borbón chose Tarifa six years ago to launch this event, because, in her words: "Tarifa is the best beach I know, many places I've been, and also has the ideal conditions, because it has a very compact sand due to the tides that come and go, and that's ideal for horses.

This beautiful sport has already managed to establish itself in the Marbella public, stay tuned with us to learn more about it, its evolution and the events that are coming in our city.
