The new KBC Center
KBC Ras Soma: the new water sports base of the Steigenberger Resort
KBC is very pleased to announce the opening of its new watersports base in Soma Bay in cooperation with the Steigenberger Resort. In the summer of 2023, KBC will launch in enchanting Soma Bay in Egypt, a dream location three quarters of an hour south of Hurghada. The impressive centre, which is being built in cooperation with the newly opened 5-star resort Steigenberger Ras Soma, is currently being completed by Thomas Beckmann and the KBC team. The water sports centre is located around 800 metres below the hotel's beach area and offers a private water sports area. Known for its KBC quality, the new watersports centre will offer kitesurf and wingfoil training, rental of the premium brand F-ONE and storage. In addition, windsurfing courses for children and catamaran training and rental are planned for the future. Those who know KBC El Gouna can look forward to a warm welcome from some well-known and long-standing KBC staff at KBC Ras Soma in the future.
SOMABAY
Soma Bay impresses with its fine, white sandy beach and the wonderful turquoise blue, crystal clear water. Due to the excellent conditions, the area has developed into a Mecca for water sports enthusiasts. The popular holiday destination is flourishing and is well on its way to becoming the next flagship on Egypt's east coast. In the coming years, a visionary project will take shape here, developing the land between the Steigenberger Hotel and the KBC Watersports Centre into a diverse landscape of lively marinas, lagoons, tasteful residential parks and villas set amidst lush gardens.
REVIER & WIND
A constant north wind blows in the large bay, enhanced by the nearby Red Sea, making the area very wind-safe and offering fantastic flat-water conditions. Even in strong winds, the water in the bay remains relatively calm, offering perfect learning and practice conditions for freestyle and manoeuvre training. Wingfoilers also get their money's worth here. At the KBC Centre, the wind blows from side-offshore, seasonally also side-shore directions, but first blows about a kilometre across the sea before it hits the KBC Centre and is then constant and unvortexed. The KBC has several boats in operation - to assist with instruction and for the safety of the kiters and wingfoilers.
