Our best family kitesurf destinations

Kitesurf trips with the family – our top picks

Kiting and family – for many, that sounds like a contradiction. While one enjoys time on the water, do the others sit bored on the beach? Not at our family spots. We’ve put together five destinations where kiting, kids, and partners all get their money’s worth – with safe conditions and plenty to do off the spot so no one complains.
 

Summary

Rhodes – Theologos


Theologos is our family hotel. The spot is sheltered and the wind is reliably thermal – so you can count on your time window on the water without waiting all day.

  • Pool, short ways, taverna around the corner – a dream even without kiting kids:
  • Short distances: Hotel Sabina is just a few minutes’ walk from the spot, so you’re never far from the kids
  • Hotel Sabina has its own pool – the kids splash there while you ride your session, no sandy-drama
  • Thanks to the pool bar and restaurant at the Sabina you can wind down evenings at the hotel
  • Greek tavernas right at the spot when the little or big kids get hungry

Kos – Mastichari


Mastichari is a family-style little town and you can feel it. Life moves slower and everyone knows everyone. It’s small, calm, and far from tourist hustle. Ideal if you value an authentic, laid-back vibe.


From Aplo Bar to beach volleyball – something for everyone:

  • Pool with bar and play area (billiards, air hockey, darts, and more) within walking distance
  • Short walks to restaurants like Palatiano, O Makis, or Koupes Meze – something for every taste
  • Aplo Bar as a relaxed hangout with stunning views, also for non-kiters
  • Traditional KWW dinners at the Traditional House bring the whole family together
  • Volleyball, spikeball, basketball and more right on the beach for the active
  • Beautiful sandy beach with loungers and windbreak right at the station

Egypt

For us, Egypt means reliable wind, warm water, and wide, shallow sandy beaches – ideal so even little kiters feel safe from the start.

Reliable wind and warm water for safe first tries:

  • Stable wind conditions almost the entire season
  • Warm water year-round – no freezing while waiting for wind
  • Vast, shallow beaches to play away from the kite spot
  • Family-friendly resorts right at the station

Sicily – Lo Stagnone

The Lo Stagnone lagoon near Marsala is one of Europe’s best-known flat-water spots – knee-deep water for miles, Italian flair, and our guide Laura, who personally looks after every family.

Flat-water lagoon and Italian dolce vita in one:

  • Lo Stagnone is one of Europe’s largest flat-water lagoons – ideal for beginners and kids to feel safe kiting
  • Laura lives in Marsala and knows every corner – she has perfect tips for families
  • Playground right at the kite spot
  • Historic Marsala with salt pans and old town for a relaxed day trip off the spot

2 different accommodations:

  • Casa Sizilia – Quiet with plenty of space for the KiteWorldWide community
