Resort Hotels Centres Map Wind
The Watersports centre in South Soma Bay is located directly next to the Caribbean World Resorts Soma Bay hotel, stocking a decent range of Windsurf, Kitesurf and Wingfoil equipment.

In addition to a spacious reception area, there is plenty of space in sun and shade for theory lessons but also just to chill and sit.

  • Changing room and locker
  • Storage for kite and wing material
  • Storage for windsurfing equipment (please register in advance)
  • Private toilets and showers

Directly off the beach there is a slight ‘wind shadow’ as the wind blows side shore from the left over the neighbouring Palm Royal Hotel. This is no problem for Windsurfing and Wingfoiling, but for kitesurf, it is a bit more challenging. The centre offers shuttle transfers to the Soma Bay lagoon, and kitesurf lessons are also done there.

Kindly note the below regarding the Egypt amusement tax to be paid on site: 

The Egyptian parliament has passed a so-called amusement tax. From 16 July 2023, this tax must be paid to the Egyptian tax office. Unfortunately, this amusement tax also applies to all Sport/Dive centres on the Red Sea. Centres are now obliged to report the income daily to the tax office and to pay this tax to the state.

Kitesurfing Lessons with a personal instructor gives you the opportunity to have a 2-on-1 interaction with your instructor to help you learn at a pace that is driven by you. The Learn To Kitesurf course aims to get you riding, while also teaching you how to read the conditions and utilise your equipment safely and correctly.


You will start with the basics; this includes setup of your equipment, safety features that you will utilise and how to fly a small 2metre trainer kite. When your instructor feels you are ready you can then head to the water. On day one you will only be using the kite and not go on the board just yet. Entering the water is when the fun starts! Here you will be taught how to properly fly an inflatable kitesurfing kite, how to control your kite and what to do if you crash it in the water. On day one you will be comfortable flying the kite and know what to do in any situation.

Note:

Semi-private lessons are offered with a maximum of two people and ensure fast progression. Your course includes Kite, board, Harness, wetsuit, life jacket and insurance.

We will schedule your course to start on your first full day, but you must remain available to the school to work around local wind and sea conditions, as well as instructor availability.
