Stand-up paddling & yoga retreat in El Gouna

General information

​

We firmly believe that El Gouna is the perfect place for many to escape the stress of everyday life and fill their minds with new, positive impressions. The entire town is a beautiful, safe space where you can find peace. Everything is easily accessible, and you can move around freely. The many restaurants offer a variety of delicious and healthy food in a pleasant atmosphere.

 

During our SUP and yoga retreats, all participants stay together at the Kiba Kitehouse, so you will never feel alone. The retreats are suitable for practically everyone, with only a light fitness level required. You do not need any prior experience in yoga or stand-up paddling.

The retreat, like the kite event weeks, does not have a fixed schedule from morning to evening. You can customize your retreat according to your needs. You will receive an introduction to stand-up paddling and yoga. During a communal breakfast, you can plan your day. Throughout the week, your guide will be available to answer any questions about El Gouna and activities.

If you are passionate about yoga and want to focus on it, that's also very easy. The Onati Moon Studio is located in your neighborhood and offers several yoga classes every day, for both beginners and advanced practitioners.

If you love stand-up paddling, you can grab a SUP at any time for free and explore the beautiful lagoon landscape of El Gouna whether in a sporty, meditative way or in good company. The beach bars invite you to stop for a refreshing drink.

If you enjoy being active and exercising, you can turn your time into a sports retreat. In addition to yoga and stand-up paddling, you will find a beautiful jogging path, paddle and tennis courts, and an open-air gym in the immediate vicinity of your accommodation.

Sometimes, a new challenge or an adrenaline kick is needed to be present in the moment or to push your limits. How about a round of wakeboarding at the water ski facility or a kitesurfing taster course? Galloping on horseback along the beach can also be an exciting and wonderful experience. The surroundings of El Gouna offer even more excitement- you can climb between the rocky mountains of the desert, go paragliding, or dive to explore the underwater world.

Support from Your Guide

 

Your guide is always German-speaking and knows El Gouna very well. Throughout the week, he will be your contact person regarding El Gouna and leisure activities. He will go out for meals with you at the beginning and in the middle of the week, giving you the opportunity to get to know each other and plan activities. Please note that the guide is not necessarily required to participate in the activities. His role is to provide support and inspiration, allowing the group to create a communal experience. If circumstances allow, the guide will organize larger groups for excursions.

Booking a SUP & Yoga Retreat

 

If you are interested in booking, please feel free to send us a message with any questions or requests. If you want to stay longer or shorter, or if your vacation does not fall within a Kite & Event Week, we are flexible and will try to make you a suitable offer. If there are not enough participants for a retreat, you can reserve a spot for the week for a certain period. The week will take place with a minimum of 3 participants and must then be booked. Otherwise, Kiba Kitehouse will be rented out to others.

 

Anyone can book a SUP & Yoga Retreat, but you should meet the following conditions:

 

1. If you have no experience with yoga or stand-up paddling, that’s not a problem, but you should be interested in trying it out. A low fitness level is sufficient.

 

2. You are a team player and enjoy going out for breakfast with other participants and participating in group activities. However, you are also okay with giving other participants their space.

 

3. You are able to behave respectfully towards your housemates at Kiba Kitehouse.

 

4. You will adhere to the usual house rules of Kiba Kitehouse. Additionally, you agree to follow the extended house rules for communal living at Kiba Kitehouse. The house rules will be provided to you before booking in the terms and conditions.

 

Availability of shared and single rooms, as well as bed arrangements, can be individually inquired before booking. We do not have direct influence over the composition of the group, but we always strive to meet your expectations.

 

To make a booking, please send us a message with your desired dates, a brief introduction about yourself, and any questions you may have. We will get back to you promptly. If you need any further assistance or adjustments, feel free to ask!
