Kitesurfing in Morocco, enchanted by Essaouira

Im November hatte ich das Vergnügen, Essaouira zum ersten Mal zu besuchen, und ich muss sagen, ich war sofort verzaubert. Diese Stadt mit ihrem orientalischen Flair und der entspannten Surferatmosphäre hat mich von Anfang an begeistert.

Charmed by Essaouira

Marina visits our destination in Morocco
Our guide Anas told me most visitors plan just one week in Essaouira but end up adding another—a feeling I completely understand.
Essaouira, known by locals as the “windy city,” impresses with its endless sandy beach, lined with camels and horses watching the kite and windsurfers on the water. The picturesque old town with its historic port transports you to another world.

With flights from Condor, EasyJet, or Ryanair, Essaouira is easy to reach from many German, Austrian, and Swiss airports. From Marrakech, Agadir, or directly from Essaouira, we’re happy to organize your transfer.
In Essaouira, the warm team at Surf House Riad Bianca and our experienced guide and kite school manager, Anas, will welcome you. You’ll stay in this lovingly renovated riad in the heart of the Medina. Enjoy our weekly rooftop BBQ, and join a yoga session there if you like.

Whether seasoned kiters, wave lovers, freestylers, or beginners—Essaouira has something for everyone. While conditions are a bit more challenging than a typical flat-water lagoon, it’s the perfect place to progress or learn something new.

Experience an unforgettable kite holiday in Essaouira that will stay with you for a long time.

Moroccan cooking class

We cook with a tagine
Beyond kiting, enjoy a refreshing drink with live music at a rooftop bar, explore the Medina, or join a market-to-kitchen cooking class with Momo from the riad. You’ll learn how to turn fresh ingredients into an authentic tagine. Boredom doesn’t stand a chance in Essaouira.


Tagine recipes come in countless variations, and ingredients can be adjusted to taste. They’re also made with meat or fish. If you’re up for the class, let Momo show you the right tagine spices and blends during the market visit.
