Kitesurfing in Sicily: Your spot in the Lo Stagnone lagoon
The kitespot in Sicily is the vast Lo Stagnone lagoon near Marsala, offering authentic Sicilian flair amid historic salt pans and vineyards. Enjoy the unique KiteWorldWide community vibe at our Casa Sicilia – from shared garden breakfasts to legendary pizza nights right on the water.
Sicily is the ultimate destination for your kite trip in the heart of the Mediterranean. Lo Stagnone is one of Europe’s best flatwater areas with excellent conditions for beginners, intermediates, and freestyle pros. The Sicily kite season starts at the end of March and runs until late October – ideal for spring, summer, or autumn sessions. Mild climate and steady thermals give you perfect conditions to learn, relax, and dive into Italy’s culinary scene.
This Sicily kite trip is perfect for solo travelers and couples looking to connect – whether you’re booking alone or joining a kitesurf community trip. From minute one you’ll feel at home in our Casa Sicilia. For the short ride to the spot (approx. 1.5 km), free rental bikes are available when possible, getting you to the water in minutes – or enjoy a relaxed warm-up walk. As in all our KiteWorldWide Original Destinations, a KiteWorldWide guide is on hand with insider tips for the best trattorias and organizes great no-wind alternatives like vineyard tours or trips to medieval Erice.

"Much of Sicily’s magic is the mix of kitesurfing and incredible food! Every season I crave fresh pasta with pistachio pesto, the day’s catch, burrata, and all the sweet specialties. The ultimate highlight is the lagoon with its fantastic conditions for students and coaches. Shallow, glassy water as far as you can see makes practice and teaching super smooth and relaxed."
Kitespot & kiteschool with us in Sicily
The kitespot here in Sicily: flatwater paradise Lo Stagnone.
The huge Lo Stagnone lagoon offers an ideal area for beginners and improvers with glassy conditions and plenty of room for your first waterstarts or freestyle tricks – one of the best beginner kitespots around.
With north wind our home spot delivers perfect side-onshore conditions, often boosted by local effects. If it switches to south (Scirocco), the lagoon remains fully usable. Experience kitesurfing and Sicilian dolce vita right at the spot!
The kiteschool in Sicily:
Our VDWS-licensed school is run by our long-standing partner. The pro coaching team teaches in German and English, among others. Your progress comes first in a relaxed community atmosphere.
Kite lessons & equipment:
Courses run in small groups to ensure high safety and individual attention. As the lagoon is shallow throughout, there’s no deep-water stress. That saves energy and speeds up learning – after each attempt you can simply walk back calmly.
The school is equipped with the latest gear from Core and Duotone. Looking for maximum push? Our special kite camp offers intensive coaching.

We’re happy to offer various accommodation options in Sicily tailored to your needs.
KiteWorldWide Casa Sicilia – your community hub
At our KiteWorldWide Casa Sicilia, shared experiences come first. Unwind after kiting in the large garden and enjoy the peace away from the crowds. Evenings are perfect for relaxing over a glass of wine and sharing the day’s sessions with like-minded people. The Casa is exclusively for KiteWorldWide guests, creating the ideal vibe for solo travelers and couples who want to connect quickly. Fast, stable internet is available throughout, so you can stream or work remotely with ease. For the short ride to the spot, free rental bikes are available when possible, covering the approx. 1.5 km to the water in minutes.
Hotel Santa Maria - Santa Maria Residence
At the Santa Maria Residence/Apartments you’re front-row for kitesurfing. Just behind is Hotel Santa Maria, where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast (included for hotel guests, not for apartment guests) and access the pool. The hotel and apartments belong together and were opened in April 2015 by an Italian family. The hotel is only 80 m from the spot and stands out for its high quality. Stay right at the spot, check the wind before breakfast, and be first on the water!
Breakfast is included for all guests kitesurfing with us in Sicily – both at Casa Sicilia and Hotel Santa Maria – as part of the kitesurf packages. Guests booking an apartment at Santa Maria Residence can easily add hotel breakfast if needed.
For maximum flexibility during your kitesurf holiday, the studios at Casa Sicilia and the apartments at Santa Maria Residence have their own kitchenettes. The large Casa garden is the perfect meeting point for our kitesurf community and invites you to wind down after a great session with a glass of wine among new friends.
A special highlight for the whole kitesurf community: once a week we invite you to a shared dinner. Plus, our legendary pizza nights right at the kitespot are the perfect finish to a long day on the water! On other evenings, it’s worth exploring the area’s excellent restaurants. Your KiteWorldWide guide always has the best insider tips and may join you at their favorite trattoria.
If the wind takes a break, there are plenty of cool spots around the lagoon to explore. Our on-site team always has the latest tips, but these are the classics:
The Egadi Islands
A trip to Favignana or Levanzo is a real highlight. It’s best to join a shared boat tour – discover the most beautiful coves from the water, jump straight into crystal-clear seas, and snorkel around the Egadi with fellow kiters.
Erice & the lagoon
The medieval village of Erice sits on the hill and offers the best views over the lagoon. Nothing beats strolling the narrow old-town lanes with a gelato after your session. For a dose of history right at the spot, take a short boat ride to the island of Mozia in the middle of the lagoon.
San Vito Lo Capo & Zingaro National Park
Hike along the cliffs in Zingaro National Park to hidden bays. Then relax on the bright sandy beach of San Vito Lo Capo. Turquoise water and white sand – Caribbean vibes in the middle of Italy!
Our tip: To reach trattorias in the evening and nearby spots flexibly, we recommend a rental car. Stay independent and make the most of your Sicily holiday.
