Yoga & Kitesurfing in Egypt – Sun, Wind & Community

In March 2026, Emely & Ender from OceanSoul invite you to a very special kitesurfing and yoga retreat in El Gouna – a hidden gem on the Red Sea, known for its steady wind all year round, wide lagoons, and stunning turquoise waters.

Here, we combine the calm of yoga with the energy and joy of kitesurfing – creating a week filled with movement, mindfulness, and togetherness.

Whether you dream of your first water start or your next jump, you’ll receive plenty of personal guidance and support on the water.

We begin and end each day with yoga – either at the hotel or right on the kite beach, where we stretch the body, land in the present moment, and let the sun warm us through.

We stay at a beautiful adults-only hotel with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of time to enjoy life between sessions.

The trip is organized in collaboration with Spies Rejser, our technical tour operator, and includes direct flights from Copenhagen. (Send us an e-mail if you wish to book without flight).

About the trip

We start each morning with yoga, followed by a large breakfast buffet. Afterwards, we head towards the beach, where we kitesurf together all day! You receieve coaching or beginner lessons!
In the evening, you can choose to participate in group dinners and possibly enjoy a sunset beer or possible party with the rest of the group.

When we are not doing yoga or kitesurfing, there are good opportunities to relax and enjoy the hotel's nice pool or participate in various activities organized by the hotel, e.g. food workshop, Paddle, Hurgharda city tour, or anything else from the program.

You will have an unforgettable week, where every corner of your body will be stretched and strengthened - look forward to the good kite conditions, and get salt sprayed on your skin under warm skies.

If you want to eat dinner with the group, we recommend booking the hotel's half-board, where we have our own table every evening. The hotel has a lively evening atmosphere with live music, DJ or other entertainment.

El Gouna as a kite spot
El Gouna in Egypt is one of the world's most popular and well-known kitesurfing spots!

One of the reasons is i.a. that it blows pretty much all year round. El Gouna creates the perfect setting for both beginners and professional kitesurfers - the sun is shining, the wind is blowing and there is the most beautiful clear turquoise blue water.

El Gouna creates the perfect setting for good progression and fun, memorable moments on the water. Our base is right next to a large shallow lagoon. The lagoon is the largest in the entire Red Sea. If, contrary to expectations, there is no wind, we can visit another kitespot, go on a snorkeling/diving trip or visit the local cable park.

Book the camp

I just returned from a one-week kitesurfing and yoga trip in Egypt with OceanSoul by Emely Freja, and it was absolutely amazing!

The week was filled with wonderful experiences, delicious food, kitesurfing, and yoga – all wrapped in a warm atmosphere of connection and good vibes.

Emely creates a great learning environment where everyone feels comfortable. The yoga and kitesurfing instruction is excellent, and both Emely and Ender take their time to share helpful tips and tricks – both in the yoga studio and out on the water 😊

I can only give OceanSoul my very best recommendations. This definitely won’t be my last trip with them 😊🙏🏻
