South Fuerteventura kitesurfing holidays, with the Spain experts.
Southern Fuerteventura is one of the windiest locations in the Canary Islands due to the geography of the land and mountains inland, creating the 'venturi' effect, like a bottle nose, accelerating the wind out over the beach.

South Fuerteventura Kitesurf Holidays
Southern Fuerteventura is one of the windiest locations in the Canary Islands due to the geography of the land and mountains inland, creating the 'venturi' effect, like a bottle nose, accelerating the wind out over the beach. The wind here blows all year but is especially extremely strong in the summer months. Prevailing wind direction is off shore - Rescue and safety services are second to none for our recommended spots
There are really three main Kitesurfing areas in Southern Fuerteventura, these are Costa Calma (the main tourist area with many hotels and a superb watersport centre), Sotavento (home to one of the largest Kitesurf centres in the world and the Melia Hotel) and Risco Del Paso (a more isolated Kitesurf spot but with far less gusty conditions than Sotavento). This really is an amazing windsurf location, with the kitesurf schools all at a very high standard stocking the latest range of equipment. Wingfoiling and Windsurfing is also possible at these spots.
It is best to call Planet Kitesurf Holidays if you are not sure which location is best for you, and we can walk you through the location. As always our advice is unbiased and honest based on over 20 years arranging kitesurf holidays to Fuerteventura.

What our clients say
From clients who booked South Fuerteventura with us.
My wife, adult son and myself had the best time staying at the Melia resort INNSide in Fuerteventura. Thanks to Matt and the team at Planet Kitesurf for this recommendation. Even though we didn't have much wind the week we went, it's such a lovely hotel, stylish, comfortable and in a beautiful…

We lose sleep so you don’t.
We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn't look right, anything that needs chasing, we're the ones awake worrying about it, so you're not.
Your money goes into trust
Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.
We book it all, and then check it
Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don't book the cheapest transfer: drivers who turn up and speak English.
We call you before you go
Documents, visas, kit, anything you're unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.
We're on WhatsApp the whole time you're away
Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather: one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.
Talk to a Kitesurf travel expert, not a call centre.
Tell us your dates, your level and what a perfect week looks like. We'll come back with a shortlist of spots with the right conditions and the right hotel, usually within one working day.
