Joint venture

Built with Eolia & Humboldt Kite School

This programme is a joint venture with Eolia hotel, right on the beach at Santa Marianita, and Humboldt Kite Surf School, whose IKO instructors run every lesson and downwinder. You sleep, eat and ride in the same spot — no transfers between wind windows.
