Tarifa has always been special to us like with many others in the kite community. The Kite Metropolis of Europe, if not of the world. The long stretch of 10km beach with the views across to Morocco, coupled with its surfer lifestyle and endless party nights in the old town, tapas bars. It has become the (adopted) country of many pros – for a reason. Here the wind blows almost non-stop due to the straits of Gibraltar. There aren’t many kiters, who don’t fall in love with Tarifa at first kite (sight : )).

With the KiteWorldWide Town House Tarifa, we have the perfect accommodation right in the center of the old town. With the restaurants and tapas bars all close by. The house has been lovingly furnished and with a splendid rooftop terrace and community kitchen.

Also you have a guide on site who is available for you 24/7 and helps you with all your questions.

Tarifa is consistently windy,  you either have the mild  “Poniente” (westerly winds) which are strong sea breezes or “Levante” the hot desert easterly winds.

In 2016 we opened our own kite school which is exclusive for KiteWorldWide guests. Learn kitesurfing in a relaxed atmosphere with instructors who are experts on the conditions in Tarifa as well as the way we like to do things in Kiteworldwide. We are open from March through to the end of June, we then have a summer siesta and then kick off again in September. This way we can ensure that you get the high level of service and experience.

What’s happening if there isn’t any wind (this is rare but can happen)? Wakeboarding, surfing, SUP and/or longboarding

We have a fantastic BBQ on the amazing terrace above the roofs of Tarifa which just can’t be missed.

On top of  that, we hit the clubs and bars with you. Tarifa is and will always be something special! With KiteWorldWide, also newcomers will have an amazing experience in this surfers dream come true…

Kitesurfing in Tarifa

Tarifa is located on the Strait of Gibraltar where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean meet and Europe and Africa are at some points only 14 km away from one another. Due to the strait and the ocean currents, this area is especially warm—which has a jet effect and increases the wind.

During the main summer season (from around July to the middle of September), the beaches are separated into swimming, sunbathing, kitesurfing and kitesurf beginner zones. Therefore we don’t offer this destination at this time of the year. Any other time, so from March until July and September until October, you can kite on any part of the beaches without restrictions. The conditions for a downwinder are perfect at this time of the year and a session or two could be arranged.

Kite Spots

In Tarifa and the surrounding area, there are tons of spots with different conditions for all kitesurf levels. Of course, it’s also possible to kitesurf at kite spots other than our main location. The KiteWorldWide team is here for you and will give you all the information you need to make sure you get the most from your holiday.

Los Lances

Our main spot in Tarifa is at the Los Lances beach. The beach is one of the most beautiful in southern Spain. Here the sand is dazzlingly fine and white —as opposed to other beaches here in the south. Two small rivers run parallel to the beach and make small flat water lagoons for kitesurfing at high tide.

Wind

In Tarifa, on the Costa de la Luz, there are different classes of winds. The best known are the levante and the poniente.

The levante is a strong, warm wind from the east. It can work itself up to a wind speed of 8 Bft after a few days, but is usually around 6-7 Bft.

The poniente is the best wind for kitesurfers. It blows at a wind speed of about 6 Bft from the west onshore side to the city beach and is a little cooler than the levante. Thanks to this wind, the temperature in Tarifa stays pretty nice in the middle of the summer. A little farther out to sea, it carries small swells with it.

Accommodation: The KiteWorldWide Townhouse

KiteWorldWide Tarifa Townhouse

The townhouse is located in the middle of the historic district of Tarifa. The property is built in a local andalusian style, Its highlight is the atrium in the middle of the house and the beautiful open courtyard.

Previously we had only rented the upper part of the house which meant that not all the common rooms where available for guests.  However from now on we have rented the whole preoperty giving you access all areas!

You will find three studios on the ground floor of varying size. Every studio comes with a bathroom and a little kitchenette.

Furthermore there are double rooms with king-sized beds (large double beds) and three rooms each with two double beds. Every room is decorated differently with attention to detail and an individual bathroom.

You`ll have access to the common rooms (kitchen and living room) and the breathtaking roof terrace with a great view over the whole town and the sea.

The “Master Bedroom” comes with its own balcony.

In a familiar atmosphere you can spend many nights chatting with other Kiters and enyoing the spanish flair while having a dinner together or a bbq on the roof terrace.

Please note that our accommodation is located right in the centre of the old town with lots of cozy bars and restaurants, thus in the summer months (especially in August) it might get a little loud at night, it’s a good excuse to join the party!

Alternative activites

Tangier

Even if you can see the African coast some days, the 14km are a little far to swim.  Its easy enough to jump on a short boat ride to reach the African continent. For an excursion to the other continent, it’s better to take the ferries from Tarifa which cross the Strait of Gibraltar in 35 minutes.
It’s a great experience to walk around the traditional Moroccan markets and go shopping in typical small shops and really soak up the Moroccan culture, its worlds away.

Gibraltar

Gibraltar is easy accessible by rental car and really worth a visit. Under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, this overseas territory is only 6.5km². Upon arrival, it is very important that you have valid ID cards!

From the European Point, the southernmost point of Gibraltar, you have an overwhelming view of the African and Spanish coastline, and of the strait of Gibraltar. You will see English policemen, red phone boxes and monkeys!  Its quite a combination. On the Rock of Gibraltar are the only naturally living monkeys in Europe.

Whales & Dolphins

Another real highlight is the whales and dolphins that you can see around the coast of Tarifa. On this tour, you’ll take a boat onto the water and check out the home of different dolphin species: common dolphins, striped dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and porpoises. With a little luck, you may see some swordfish, sperm whales, or finbacks swimming their way between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea through the Strait of Gibraltar.  The sea life he is truly amazing here.

Paragliding

If kiteloops are not giving you enough air, take a paragliding flight and enjoy the fascinating view over Tarifa the cote de luz of Spain and the corner of African coast..

Horse riding

Tarifa is not only a kitesurfers paradise. For horse lovers the trails here are to die for.  Horse trails through the spectacular dunes of Punta Paloma in the Natural Park of El Estrecho, with Africa on the horizon the views are fantastic. You will experience all the elements of nature: fauna, flora, sea, mountains and wind.  Even if you have never experienced horse riding before this is a real must do activity.
