Kitesurfing Destinations

Kenya shows with its untouched nature the most beautiful side of East Africa. The country wins our kiter hearts with its location and a monsoon wind directly on the Indian Ocean, called Kaskazi. Kenya is a dream spot for kitesurfing, best conditions in the European winter months. The shallow water at our kitesurfing spot guarantees perfect conditions for beginners to learn kitesurfing. In the season between December and March there is constant wind from north/northeast, which means you always have on-shore wind. The air temperature is around 30 and the water around 25 degrees, so pleasant kiting without a wetsuit. Besides kiting, the variety of other activities will make your time in Kenya unforgettable. Explore the mangrove forests on the SUP or exchange the kiteboard for a snorkel and explore the underwater world.  

Kalpitiya, a super shallow water lagoon spot for beginners and the freestyle kiters among you. You stay directly at the lagoon in the KiteWorldWide Lagoon Lodge with comfortable rooms and a swimming pool in the garden, where you can really get that holiday feeling under the palm trees! The kite season runs from May to October and December to March. Sri Lanka is the closest tropical kitesurfing destination and can be reached with numerous airlines, including the comfortable and affordable Golf Airlines such as Emirates and Turkish Airlines. Besides kitesurfing, there are a variety of activities and excursions that you can book directly at the KiteWorldWide Lodge with our team. Jungle safari in the national park nearby, where you might even see baby elephants, the yoga session (on demand a professional yoga teacher will come to the lodge), dolphin and whale watching, the visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Anuradhapura (the forgotten city) or various downwinders around the lagoon. There are plenty of exciting things for everyone to do!

Brazil is known for its strong and constant wind, but Tatajuba offers even more than the other kitesurfing areas around Brazil. Constant side onshore wind with 99% wind probability blows from July to February. In July, August and February, you can expect 17-23 knots in Tatajuba and only a few wind-free days. In high season you can also expect a few more knots in Tatajuba compared to other spots. Around 30 knots plus is the norm kitesurfers expect here! The small village of Tatajuba is located between Jericoacoara (Jeri for short) and Camocim, right at the mouth of a river. There are no tarmac roads in this village; you walk on fine sand, surrounded by palm trees, friendly locals and unique nature. Deep red sunsets and probably the strongest wind in Brazil await you, and anyone who knew and loved Cumbuco as a small, remote fishing village will more than appreciate this spot. The Tatajuba kitesurfing spot is a river mouth where the incoming and outgoing water creates a beautiful shallow water area ideal for freestyle or learning to kite. The open sea beyond is also great for beginners thanks to its vastness and the site's safe onshore wind. There is endless space here from the first few metres on the board, to cruising further or for practising new moves. Small kicker waves promise great fun on the directional surfboard. Tatajuba offers kiters endless possibilities. If you like, you can book a trip to a freshwater lagoon just 4 kilometres away, or discover the coast of Brazil on endless downwinders. Our beach buggy tours are a must and you can easily get to nearby Jericoacoara for shopping or partying!

Sal is an island with unlimited kitesurfing possibilities and home to 4xVice World Champ Mitu Monteiro. From late October to May, Cape Verde is the perfect winter getaway for those who want wind, warm temperatures and a short flight time. At the KiteWorldWide Kitehouse you will experience the unique flair of Cape Verde together with other kite maniacs. Great weather all year round and wind from late October to May are a good start. There is something for everyone in terms of kitesurfing spots on Sal: The Kite Beach with side-onshore wind and small wind waves for intermediate and advanced kitesurfers. Due to the depth of the water, Sal is not an ideal spot for beginners with shallow water, but if you have learned kitesurfing here, you can do it at any spot in the world. That’s why we’ve put together a wide range of courses matching everyone’s needs and level. For the cracks there are world class wave kitespots, especially the wave at the beach of Ponta Preta, which is famous through countless videos.   We have also arranged an array of other activities for you to meet other kiters and get a feel for real life in Cape Verde. On one evening a week you’ll have a great beach BBQ or a community dinner in one of the typical cape verde beach restaurants. To round up the holiday there are economic and sporting equipment-friendly flights. In just six hours, you´ll be at the very heart of the world of wave kitesurfing.

Punta Chame is a quiet, idyllic place on a narrow headland, which offers ideal conditions for kitesurfers with its relaxed atmosphere. Here you live right on the spot, are woken by the wind in the morning and can go out on the water immediately after a delicious breakfast. On good days, the team stays out with you until sunset - the ultimate kitesurfing experience! In contrast to Brazil, Panama is even less known as a kitesurfing destination, but Punta Chame offers excellent conditions for beginners, advanced and freestylers from December to April. With wind conditions and water temperatures of 28°C and air temperatures of 31°C, it is the perfect place to escape the European winter. Our main kitespot in Punta Chame offers a large lagoon at low tide, which is particularly suitable for beginners and intermediates. At high tide, the water reaches the kite camp, where advanced kiters can start directly and take advantage of the ideal conditions for foiling and wing foiling. Just ten minutes away, on the other side of the peninsula, there is a swell that is ideal for surfing and offers even more variety.

Marhaba (welcome!) to the Bianca Guest House Riad and its unique Morrocan atmosphere. Our Essaouira destination offers a culturally rich kitesurfing holiday experience that’s different to the more usual short-haul trips from Europe. It’s perfect for anyone who’d like to experience something different. Famously, Jimi Hendrix partied it up in Essaouira and was inspired to write ‘Castle made of Sand’, and the area is also historically known for surfing. The epic wave spot ‘Moulay’ became popular when an old windsurfing movie disclosed its Morrocan secret, and the first-ever kitesurfing competition is also said to have taken place on the Essaouira beach in 1997. Rumour has it that even Pete Cabrinha and the Wipikas were there too! We have a full set up in Essaouira for you with various packages on offer where you’ll get to live together with other guests in laid back Morrocan style. We even have a KiteWorldWide Guide on site for you to relax and enjoy all that’s on offer without needing to worry. In Essaouira, you’ll be rewarded with reliable wind, an unbelievably long sandy beach without any obstacles or rocks, and an awesome kitesurf school with its friendly team. On top of that, you’ll be able to visit around half a dozen other spots for varying abilities all within 30 minutes. Experience Mediterranean-Arabian flair, great food and excellent accommodation all at affordable prices. In the winter season, Essaouira becomes a wave paradise for kite surfers with a bit of experience, and there’s a 100-150m waist-deep area just before the swell. During the summertime the swell gets a bit smaller but the wind picks up a lot more. You never have to worry about not having enough wind in Essaouira! Besides kitesurfing, Essaouira has a lot to offer from its beautiful Medina and the smell of spices and thuya wood, to that the sound of drums from the gorgeous souvenir shops and the hustle and bustle of the market… The Medina is full of colour and character! Some even say Essaouira is the most picture-perfect quaint medina in Morocco! Best of all, there are no cars at all to bother you! See you there!  

El Gouna is probably one of the most popular kite spots in the world. This man-made resort on the Red Sea is somehow different from all our other holiday destinations. It’s a bit artificial, a bit Egyptian, yet still authentic. Sounds strange? It is indeed, but in the best way! For many, El Gouna offers the ultimate kite life with a huge selection of nice hotels, lovely restaurants and bars, and all just a short distance away.  El Gouna attracts a lot of kitesurfers spread between several kite centres that provide the official launch spots. Some centres are designed for mass tourism, where others are smaller and have a higher demand.  It took us time to finally find what we wanted, and the Makani Beach Club offers the exclusivity and high quality we were looking for that is unique to El Gouna. If you’re new to kitesurfing and want to learn in a nice area suitable for your needs, then El Gouna is a great option. You can find more beginner information on our kitesurfing learning page. Allow us to introduce you to El Gouna and the kite trips and hotels we recommend!  

Seahorse Bay is located between Hurghada and El Gouna and offers the perfect conditions for kitesurfers. We discovered Ibi & Friends’ amazing Kite Club many years ago and due to their unique setup not seen anywhere else in Egypt, we partnered with them to bring you the ultimate experience. Seahorse Bay offers three unique elements to your holiday:  1. Accommodation right at the spot and kite school area: you have the choice between three different accommodation options with just a five minutes walk from the new kite centre. No more missing out on wind because of tuk-tuk rides or late buses here! 2. Limited guests at our kite school allowing for more space: the reduced numbers of kitesurfers, students and equipment storage means you’ll always have enough space for launching and landing.  3. Kiting at low tide: most spots in Egypt are affected by low tide, but experienced kitesurfers can still ride at Seahorse Bay even when the water runs low thanks to the ‘pool’ in the ocean. At Seahorse Bay we offer a special ‘no-worries package’ where everything is included. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, advanced or even a non-kiter as our packages have everything you need covered.

Kitesurfing in Dakhla and all you need to know about the kitesurfing spots around Dakhla: The lagoon of Dakhla is a paradise for kitesurfing thanks to the pleasant temperatures all year round and the constant wind. For more than five years we have been at the northern, "small" lagoon of Dakhla. This year we are back in Dakhla with a brand new kite school and current Core and North Kiteboarding equipment. The kitespot is ideal for learning to kitesurf and perfecting freestyle tricks. The kitespots offer plenty of space on the water. Of course, kitesurfing courses are also offered by certified and multi-lingual instructors - whether for beginners, intermediates or special courses such as wave kitesurfing. The result: A perfect kitesurfing destination for beginners, intermediates, freestylers and wave kiters. The resort is located right on the lagoon and offers you comfort with a direct view of the kite spot. Each Room and Villa feels like a small private home. The heart of the resort is the open air restaurant with a 180 degree panoramic view of the spot through a large glass wall. This is where guests gather for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or simply to relax in the lounge area. Next door you'll find the KiteWorldWide Pro Center Dakhla. The restaurant offers a refreshing local and international cuisine, showcasing the best local produce and delicious Moroccan traditions.  And when the wind dies down, there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied.

Fuerteventura ticks so many boxes from a kiters perspective and is a perfect short-haul winter destination. We’re happy to have finally found a great partner right at the island’s best flat-water kite spot; welcome to Matas Bay!  Fuerteventura has a nice long wind season stretching from March through to the end of November, but you can also score some great days through the winter months of December & January. With an average temperature of 20 degrees and more than 20 kiteable days per month, it makes it a great winter escape. Matas Bay itself is an amazing flat water spot that doesn’t depend on the tide, meaning you can kite all day long! There are also numerous wave spots dotted around the island, making it an exciting destination for more advanced wave riders and kiters. The Canary Islands are blessed with plenty of natural beauty, spectacular landscapes and a thrilling range of activities. Fuerteventura has many spectacular places to visit including its natural pools or the Jurrasic period caves at Ajuy. Hike one of Fuerte’s many coastal trails or volcanic paths to stunning viewpoints, or surf some of the best waves in Europe. There’s also a zoo, sailing trips, scuba diving, jeep safaris, aqua parks or even wine tasting – we’re sure you won’t get bored!  

It only takes a day or two before you feel like you already know the friendly and hospitable people of Kos. The little fishing village of Mastichari is home to our kite spot and has a real local feel away from the mass tourism prevalent in other parts of the island. Kos is one of the only Greek islands where the conditions are great for both beginners as well as advanced kiters. Our VDWS licensed school sits on a wide sandy beach operated by Stefan, originally from Austria, who has spent his lifetime on the water. His team have developed their lesson structure to ensure a high level of safety with a maximum of two students per instructor. Using a unique coaching system via boat, they offer fast progression on the water as well as a lot of fun. Our Kite House is conveniently located just a few minutes from the kite spot and town so you can easily walk everywhere. The house has 8 separate studios, each with its own balcony giving you your own private space. Group bonding starts over breakfast in the Aplo restaurant before heading to the beach for a day of kiting, and often ends with a drink or two at the beach bar too. Our location is perfect for children to play on the wide sandy beach right in front of the kite spot, and our centre also offers windsurfing or stand up paddle lessons for them. The wind season is longer than you might imagine and runs all the way from May until the end of October. The weather remains warm and sunny throughout the whole season, perfect to sit out on the terraces of the local Greek tavernas enjoying the delicious food on offer. As for all of our destinations, we have our own KiteWorldWide guide on-site happy to show you the best restaurants, kite spots and other sights in Mastichari. Cheap flights depart several days per week. The Kite House is just a short 20-minute transfer from the airport.  

Not bookable in the winter season 2024/25. We will keep you posted. The beautiful island of Zanzibar is located in the Indian Ocean. It is famous for its beautiful beaches with crystal-clear, turquoise water. Our spot has shallow water and is perfect for beginner kiters. Because of the two different seasons, you can either surf under the sun in the summer or check out this spot in the winter when it’s cold and dark back home. We found the perfect spot and accommodation for your kitesurf holiday at Zanzibars east coast in Jambiani. Right at the huge shallow water lagoon in Jambiani, the Red Monkey Beach Lodge is ready for your KiteWorldWide kiting trip. It is located directly at the water’s edge and so you always have a view of the turquoise blue water of the Indian Ocean. It seems as if the scenery was taken from a storybook! The kitespot is right in front of the lodge. Because of a 2km long sandbank we have a huge lagoon with shallow water which is perfect for instructions and trainings but also a dream for freestyle. Since June 2012, there is a KiteWorldWide owned, VDWS licensed kitesurf school on Zanzibar, Jambiani, with multilingual instructors and new gear from CORE Kiteboarding. The kite seasons are from June till September and from December till March. The wind direction is always sideshore. This small, amazing island in front of the east coast of Tanzania does not only have beautiful beaches and coasts, but also beautiful dive sites and lots of alternative activities to do. Zanzibar is also famous for its huge variety of spices which gave Zanzibar the nickname: “Spice island”. The beautiful historic centre of Zanzibars capital, Stone Town is also worth a visit. Freddy Mercurys home town is beautifully laid out with tiny alleys and coral-stone made colonial houses. There are some great little shops and fun bars to hang out in.

Not far from the African continent lies the Italian island of Sicily, with its warm and pleasant temperatures from March to October. Here there are two different weather systems with constant winds and a huge shallow water lagoon, which offers perfect conditions to learn kitesurfing. As in many other destinations, we offer great KiteWorldWide accommodation for KiteWorldWide guests only! Our modern and brightly furnished villa is located very close to the kite school, it has a large garden where our BBQ evenings take place once a week.

Autumn is the most beautiful time of year to visit one of our northern neighbours, Denmark.   It’s never really that crowded on the waters of Denmark, but in autumn you may just have an absolute dream spot all to yourself. From September on, there is full-scale wind power in Denmark. When the autumn storms come in, there are perfect conditions for every level – for wave nuts in the North Sea or for the butter flat lovers you can hit up on elf the many Fjords.   The water temperatures in September are also absolutely spot on, after the summer sun has had chance to warm them up. Because we love this country so much, and it feels almost like our homespot, we were immediately involved when our partner Primesurf, with which we have already been working with very successfully in Cape Town, Sicily and Brazil, proposed an event in Denmark. Together with a team of VDWS-licensed trainers you will spend 6 days on the water so that you can be coached in a targeted manner and progress quickly. The special thing about this camp is that you can decide whether you want to spend the night in a cozy, modern holiday home or if you want to campout in your own vehicle. Regardless of whether it’s a motorhome, van or a mobile home you’re totally welcome to take part in this awesome event.
