Your place for relaxed water sports
The Center
Our main centre and the marina for the Kite Adventure are located in Safaga on the beach of the Hotel Paradise Abu Soma Beach Resort. Here, too, you can indulge in water sports in a cosy, family atmosphere. Should you need help, our rescue service is at your disposal. You can also use the storage and drying room and the compressor pump. The beach turns into deep water after a few metres, which makes it a good starting point:
For kitesurfing, the size of the beach in combination with the wind direction is unfavourable. That's why we take our boat to Soma Bay every day for kitesurfing. The anchorage of the Kite Adventure offers a lot of space for water sports and ideal conditions for beginners and advanced surfers. Optionally, the trip can be completed with a five-kilometre downwinder back to the centre - a real experience.
In light winds or if there is a lull, you can explore the coast of Safaga on the stand-up paddleboards - have fun and do something for your balance and fitness.
