Accomadation was amazing, kite facilities and equipment new and very good condition. Super helpful all the guys at the shop. They planned a BBQ for everyone at the riad, and it was super food, the staff came and it was a lot of fun. Please do not hesitate to do a trip with Anas!

Look no further if you want to learn kitesurfing The flawless reviews don't lie: Ananas Kitesurfing is the best place to learn how to kitesurf, certainly in Essaouira and maybe even in Morocco. I spent several weeks learning with Essawi, who transformed a complete beginner into somebody confident in different conditions. His love of kitesurfing was infectious and left me with a strong desire to continue the sport. Anas manages everything to perfection, and does an incredible job building a community of travelers and instructors, convening dinners and offering alternative activities on low-wind days. All the other instructors and helpers (a particular shout-out to Aziz) were knowledgeable and kind. In short, look no further if you're interested in kitesurfing.

Good times at Ananas Kitesurfing in beautiful Essaouira I stayed with Anas at Ananas Kitesurf Camp for a whole week, and it was not only a very authentic and pleasant experience of Morocco, I also developed my kitesurfing abilities tremendously in a very short time.Anas is a very good kitesurf instructor for both beginners and improvers, he is a very relaxed and easygoing guy, and his English speaking is perfect (which is great when you don’t speak French/Arabic like me).All in all, I give my biggest recommendation of Anas’ surf and kitesurf school during your stay in Essaouira. Well deserved!

Schönste Stadt Essaouira und eine wirklich gute Kite Schule!! Es ist immer wieder schön nach Essaouira zu kommen, der Stadt der Kultur, der Fischerei und des Kite Surfens. Anas hat hier eine ganz tolle Schule aufgebaut und sein Unterricht ist toll und sein Geld wert. Positiv zu bewerten ist, dass ausser Arabisch, Französisch und Englisch auch Deutsch gesprochen wird in seiner Schule. Das macht den Unterricht für Besucher aua dem Deutsch sprachigen Raum leichter. Sehr gerne wieder.

The Diabat beach

It lies to the south of Essaouira Bay. It can be reached after a half-hour walk from the medina. Indeed, it is one of the wild kitesurfing beaches in Essaouira, Morocco. You can also access it through a track from the village of Diabat. Just after crossing the bridge, turn right onto a dirt road.

It is a favorite starting point for horseback rides, camel rides, quad biking, or mountain biking adventures.
