Surfmotion Soma Bay is a kitesurfing and windsurfing center nestled in the Palm Royal resort, 40 km south of Hurghada near Safaga on the Red Sea. It is directly accessible from the hotel beach, with a bar, chillouts, and all the gear to ride comfortably.
The spot offers a vast shallow turquoise water area, perfect for progressing without stress. Riders come here for the generous space and consistent conditions, both summer and winter.
It is a popular spot for schools and locals, with a relaxed vibe between kite sessions and diving.

The main wind comes from the north-west in a side-on direction relative to the south-east facing beach, which perfectly flattens the water for smooth gliding. The riding area extends 2 km long and 600 m wide, with easy access directly from the Surfmotion center beach.
The beginner area is separated from the freeride, with a dedicated kite sector to avoid collisions with windsurfers. At low tide, part of the sandbar emerges for 2.5 hours, ideal for first launches on knees or feet, before transitioning to water up to waist height (30-60 cm) which remains safe for tricks and jibes.
Launching takes place on the wide beach, with a compressor for quick inflation and spacious storage. The space is huge, you can ride without bothering each other even in high season, and rescue boats are ready in case of trouble.
