WHERE ARE MOST OF YOUR CLIENTS FROM AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING? Planet have been at the very forefront of kitesurf travel in the UK and Europe, and are proud to currently be the most well established and largest kitesurf tour operator in the UK. Having said that, they are happy to be of service to clients from all over the world, who call them for the best advice on where to book their kitesurfing holiday. When recommending a kitesurfing destination to clients, the team at Planet Kitesurf Holidays always takes into account the individual’s specific needs, but they do have a few destinations that really stand out from the crowd. Le Morne in Mauritius is an all-time favorite and Planet is able to offer exclusive rates at the gorgeous St Regis Resort. Located in the south-west of Mauritius, on an idyllic beach, the St Regis offers the ultimate in barefoot luxury. Surrounded by a tranquil lagoon and situated right next to the main kitesurf beach in Le Morne, the hotel offers plenty for families to do from planned poolside activities, spa treatments, aerobic classes, horseback riding, snorkeling, kayaking and fishing, to wining and dining at one of myriad bars and restaurants found on the property. Another favorite of theirs and a great spot for those who don’t want to travel too far is FeelViana in Portugal. FeelViana is a brand new sports resort in a quiet corner of Portugal. FeelViana offers kitesurfers a prime location on a fantastic beach with conditions to suit any level with free safety cover, while the surrounding area offers a host of cultural and historical attractions. This year Planet has partnered with Progression Live to offer a kite foiling clinic at this fantastic spot! Planet’s other top destinations for this year, offering great value for money and reliable wind conditions, include Dakhla in Morocco, Southern Mozambique, Sal and Boa Vista in Cape Verde, Cape Town and Langebaan in South Africa, Gostoso in Brazil and Limnos off the coast of Greece! WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL COMPARED TO OTHER KITING BUSINESSES? Having such a passion for the sport means that the team at Planet Kitesurf really do understand their clients holiday aspirations. As kitesurfers themselves, they are also always on the lookout for new and exciting destinations to add to their offering. From a brand new hotel on the quiet island of Limnos, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, to that unique kitefoiling camp in Portugal, to arrangements with the best school and hotels in Mauritius, and finding amazing freeriding spots in the Maldives, Planet can offer you the best of the best. Whether you want to learn to kitesurf, are looking for somewhere safe to advance your skills, want a destination the entire family can enjoy, or prefer to enjoy a multi-activity holiday with SUPing, sailing and cycling, these new destinations have you covered. All of this makes Planet Kitesurf Holidays so much more than just a kitesurf travel company! In their words: We believe that the holiday experience can be made so much more memorable and enjoyable by combining world class kitesurfing with the rich cultural experiences that the country may have to offer.
