Water Sports Adventures – The Wind Edition
This month’s blog is all about unleashing your adventurous spirit. I want to take you to the water for an adrenaline-fueled experience like no other! From the serene shores of Zanzibar to the rugged coastlines of Maui, here are some unique destinations around the globe where kite surfing and wing foiling enthusiasts can soar.
Dreaming of seaside living and morning waves before the daily hustle? Same here! For me holidays that embrace water sports are an absolute must! However, finding the perfect spot for the whole family can be a bit of a puzzle. From ensuring suitable conditions for all skill levels to finding kid-friendly accommodations and backup plans for windless days, the checklist seems endless!
And let’s talk safety – it’s paramount! From lifeguards to safety boats, we want peace of mind while we all enjoy optimal tide times. But fear not, fellow adventurers! Cala Travel has scoured the globe for water sports destinations that blend excitement with luxury and fun. While Europe offers its fair share of aquatic adventures (looking at you, Menorca and of course Tarifa!), today we’re whisking you away on a journey to far-flung destinations brimming with excitement!
- Zanzibar, Tanzania: Feel the warm breeze as you glide over the crystal-clear waters of Zanzibar’s stunning beaches. With consistent winds and breath-taking scenery, it’s a paradise for both beginners and seasoned riders. You can also incorporate a memorable Serengeti safari to deliver the ultimate holiday dreams. Spotlight hotel: White Sands Luxury Villas
- Jericoacoara, Brazil: Explore the laid-back charm of Jericoacoara, a hidden gem nestled along Brazil’s north eastern coast. Here, you’ll find consistent winds, vast sand dunes, and a sense of tranquility that’s perfect for focusing on your kite surfing and wing foiling skills. To make it an ultimate family holiday include a trip to the Amazon jungle for a mind-blowing ecological experience. Spotlight hotel: Rancho de Peixe
- Dakhla, Morocco: Venture off the beaten path to Dakhla, a remote oasis in the Western Sahara desert. With its expansive lagoon and pristine conditions, it’s a paradise for adventurers looking to escape the crowds and connect with nature. We recommend a quieter end of the lagoon to avoid the stress of kite surf lines and to secure a more spacious accommodation option for families to truly relax. Spotlight hotel: La Tour d’Eole
- Maui, Hawaii: Known as the mecca of water sports, Maui offers epic conditions for kite surfing and wing foiling. Feel the thrill of riding the waves against the backdrop of majestic volcanic landscapes and vibrant sunsets. Spotlight hotel: Lumeria Maui
- Le Morne, Mauritius: With consistent trade winds and a shallow lagoon, Mauritius provides perfect conditions for beginners and experienced riders. The backdrop scenery of the Le Morne mountain is stunning. There are also a host of activities on offer for families to enjoy including whale watching, hikes and surfing as well as family friendly resort hotels. Spotlight hotel: JW Marriott
