Your Kitespot for El Gouna - Makani Beach Club

The Makani Beach Club was built completely from scratch. Old shipping containers form the base, largely hidden behind a bamboo facade and thatched roofs.

The complex was created by Christoph, a seasoned pro with long-standing experience in hospitality in Ägypten. The building materials and furnishings are top-notch, as are the kitchen concept and the staff’s service level.

Marci and Daniel from Primesurf are Christoph’s partners and are responsible for the kite lessons and supervision. This ensures the kite school runs at the best possible level. The kite school is equipped with the latest gear from Duotone. If you join a kite camp, you can also test other equipment, e.g. from CORE Kiteboarding.

The wind blows steadily from the left: sideshore. The water is very shallow over a wide area and the bottom is sandy with no coral. You can always kite here, regardless of low or high tide. A major advantage over many other kitesurf centers in El Gouna.

The wind stats are excellent. You can kite on over 70% of the days each year. If you can, we recommend flying to El Gouna for at least ten days. That way you have enough time to kite and to relax. The wind sometimes comes in cycles: a few weeks windy, then a few days calm.

At Makani Beach Club, you’ll always be up to date with a current tide chart and information from Windguru.

Even if you don’t want to step off your board, you should definitely take breaks to recharge. Meet other kiters at the Makani Beach Bar, exchange ideas, and make new friends. If you want some quiet time, there are plenty of loungers or hammocks with sun and wind protection for a siesta after your kitesurf session and lunch.

Our tip: the bar serves great smoothies—be sure to try the Banana Rebel. With a vitamin drink in hand, chill on a beach lounger and gaze into the distance. It doesn’t get more seaside than this! The Acai Smoothie Bowl is, of course, a must too. Tasty and healthy.

If you get hungry on land, Makani Beach Club will spoil you with delicious specialties from the menu. Choose between pasta, burgers, or salads.
