The Kitesurf centre is situated the left of the hotel approximately 50m along the beach and the windsurf centre is located approximately a 5-10 minute walk along the beach (600m) next door at the Hotel Shams. More >


Our Opinion
Ideally located right next to the kitesurf centres. We recommend the 'Ultra All inclusive' package with free massage, sauna and scuba diving introduction and Superior Beachfront rooms with jacuzzi and sea view and roof terrace with bar for sundowners.
