The Three Corners Ocean View Hotel is for kiters who want to travel alone, as a couple or as a group and do not want to do without anything. A top kitesurfing hotel with a direct location on the Red Sea coast and exclusively for adult guests. The best thing about it: the hotel is located directly at the top of the marina and has a huge pool with spectacular views directly to the open sea. So you can see directly from your rooms and from the pool if there are already kites in the sky and what the wind looks like.

At the Three Corners Ocean View Hotel you will definitely have a rest at the pool, there is a gym with courses and a direct boat shuttle to Zeytouna Beach where you will find a colorful reef for snorkeling. At breakfast you can recharge your batteries for a successful kite day, at the breakfast buffet there are three live cooking stations.

Ali Pasha

The Ali Pasha Hotel is a small hotel in El Gouna with an ideal location at the Abu Tig Marina and even more important for all kiters, right next to the Tuk Tuk stand. With the local transport you can reach the kitespot in less than 10 minutes. You are not only at the Abu Tig Marina, but also right in the center of El Gouna and therefore close to the local boutiques, the countless restaurants and the trendy nightlife.

Activities at Makani Beach Club

For all of you who wanted to do more sports besides kitesurfing in El Gouna, we have some suggestions directly at the Makani Beach Club for you. These and many more activities you can do directly at the Makani Beach Club:

Playground Yoga

Playground Yoga (PLAY) trains strength and flexibility with yoga movements.

Spintonic (SPIN)

The mix of spinning and toning is the ultimate workout for endurance and strength. Top to stay on the kiteboard even longer in the next days.

Hot Iron

This sports game is only for tough men and tough women. Under the Egyptian sun, all the muscles on the beach are steeled with weights. And afterwards: off into the cool water!

Massage and Wellness

In the Makani Beach Club in El Gouna you have the possibility to book a relaxing massage between the kitesurfing sessions. The experienced masseurs offer relaxation and sports massages from 20 to 90 minutes. Sea view included.

other activities in El Gouna

You or your non-kiting companion want to do something other than kitesurfing and still stay active? No problem, El Gouna offers a lot of variety:

Wakeboarding

At the wakeboard park in El Gouna you will be pulled over the water at high speed. If you want, you can fly through the air and practice new tricks. Sliders Cable Park has two large wakeboard facilities. One rotates clockwise, the other counter-clockwise. The park is also great for beginners. At a small two-mast facility, beginners can gently dive into the wakeboarding. And the cracks can try out new moves on the course.

Diving

Kiters prefer to stay in their element: the water. In El Gouna you can also dive into the depths. The best diving conditions are from June to September. A crazy dive spot is Bluff Point. A steep wall covered with large fan corals. The caves there are also exciting. The wreck Rosalie Moller is also recommended. Here you can explore the sunken, quite well preserved ship including bridge and engine room. The view is best in the morning. East of El Gouna is Sha’ab El Erg, where you can explore a beautiful coral garden. With a bit of luck you may even meet dolphins, crocodile fish, blue spotted rays, reef sharks and manta rays.

Round Trips

If you want to stay on land and explore the area, we recommend a desert safari by quad or camel and a trip to Luxor or Cairo.

Generall information about kitesurfing in El Gouna

Your accommodation is directly in El Gouna, only 10 minutes from the spot. The airport in Hurghada is only 35 km north of El Gouna. The airport of Hurghada is only 30 minutes away from El Gouna.

For whom is El Gouna suitable for kitesurfing?

El Gouna is a kitesurfing destination for every level. Kitesurfing beginners appreciate the large standing area and the shallow water. Advanced kitesurfers will appreciate the “laboratory conditions” to practice tricks and new moves. Warm water and steady winds are good for every kite level.

Basically anyone can learn kitesurfing. Age doesn’t matter, neither does fitness level or weight. For every person we have the right material, which is individually adjusted to you.

By the way, kiting is not as strenuous as many fear. The pull of the kite is not held in your hands, but is transmitted to the harness, which you carry around your hips.

Of course. Makani Beach has a huge pool of Duotone Kiteboarding equipment. If you need any of them, please contact us!
