As a reward for the great game played in the arena of Estepona, the winning teams received trophies from José María García Urbano, the mayor of Estepona. Also:

He congratulated Isabel de Borbón and his polo events company, Polo4Ever, for being the driving force behind the arrival of the Polo Beach to the Costa del Sol, and the main sponsor, Kempinski Hotel Bahía, for their work to bring this innovative sports event to Estepona, which demonstrated the capacity of the city to celebrate first level sporting events.

Carla Lopes, general manager of Kempinski Hotel, has been delighted to host and sponsor the Costa del Sol Beach Polo Club.

The event was held coinciding with the reopening of the hotel after an important remodeling and it has been wonderful that so many people have had the opportunity to enjoy interesting Polo Beach matches and the good atmosphere that this sport competition has generated.

We hope to enjoy another year of this show where rider and horse ride together in the sand of the Costa del Sur to offer an unparalleled show of Polo Beach.

Congratulations to the winning team of the I Costa del Sol Beach Polo Cup!!

Beach Polo in Estepona

For those who do not know the Beach Polo we tell you a bit about it. The Beach Polo is an innovative modality that is born from the traditional pole only that for this variant the stadium where the game is played becomes smaller so that the public can better appreciate the quick action of this sport from a much shorter distance.

“In Estepona we will have four international polo teams with around 50 agile and fast horses, which will end up captivating spectators and fans” Isabel de Borbón

On these four international teams, which come from France, England and Sweden, stands out without a doubt “Jolly Roger – King of Polo“, winner of numerous tournaments in Sotogrande and abroad, in addition to other great professionals such as Jamie Le Hardy and Hernan Pieres.

The Beach Polo is having more and more repercussion throughout the world. In cities such as Miami or Dubai it is a highly acclaimed sport, and now it arrives in Estepona with this first edition of the Costa del Sol Beach Polo Cup.

“It is the first time that an event of this kind has been held in Estepona, which reflects the changes that are taking place in the area. The date of this event is in line with the reopening of the hotel after a major refurbishment and the launch and opening of three new restaurants. It is a real pleasure to bring this sport with so much glamor to the beach of El Padrón in front of the hotel. We are looking forward to welcoming both polo lovers and people who want to admire this sport for the first time, so they can enjoy very interesting matches and a good atmosphere” Carla Lopes
