Abu Soma is the southern half of Kriasi Bay, with Soma Bay making up the northern half. It is approximately 45km away from Hurghada International Airport where you will be flying into. This part of the Red Sea is very beautiful with spectacular views of pretty bays or hills all around with cross shore winds making it another perfect kitesurfing holiday spot.
The Palm Royale Resort (formally known as the Intercontinental) is right on the kite sport and is an impressive place. The hotel offers tranquil courtyards and a private beach with wonderful, calm waters for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. There is a choice of restaurants offering Italian, Oriental, Mediterranean, Lebanese & Greek cuisine, along with an English style pub for your home comforts!
The hotel has become a resort in its own right, as much like its sister resort Soma Bay, it is quite hotel-centric with fine dining and hotel based options rather than being a tourist resort per se.
Fantastic conditions 5 minutes walk from the hotel and the long established and fully stocked watersports centre. Enjoy the sand bar that makes a very user friendly beginners kite spot at high tide and at low tide a short walk out to the sand bar takes you onto beautifully flat deeper water conditions giving you what you need whatever the tide state and whatever your level.
Our partner centre provides the latest kit for you to enjoy from Core kiteboardiing with Fanatic/JP windsurf kit and the level of expert local knowledge is amazing, they'll tell you everything you need ot know to maximimise your time on the water.
Peter and his team have been looking after windsurfers and kiters at this spot for many years which is testament to the great condiotions you will find at Abu Soma. Everything from butter flat water in the lee of the sandbar to seemingly endless broad reaches practicing your technique and maximising your water time. Great for most of the year, particularly good in windy September!
