Wing Foiling Holidays Soma Bay
Soma Bay is not only an amazing location for Wing Foiling, but it also has some really great standard accommodations. The ‘bay’ has nice flat water, with very consistent wind from March to October, making this a perfect location for learning to Wing Foil, or improving.
Here at Planet Wing Foiling holiday, we are extremely ‘picky’ about the accommodation and Wing Foiling schools we partner with. This is especially important in Egypt where the ‘5-star’ rating has been so diluted. We offer a range of the best hand-picked accommodation, ranging from a small sociable hotel to luxury beach resorts. Soma Bay is very popular for all types of Wing Foiling holidays, including families, couples, friends and single travellers.
Planet Travel is not just a Wing Foiling holiday company. We have extensive experience constructing luxury tailor-made tours in Egypt, including Nile Cruises, Luxor, Aswan, and Cairo. From Soma Bay, it is easy to add on some amazing trips inland to Luxor, which is just 4 hours by road, and home to some of the most amazing historical sites from the time of the Pharaohs. Please call and speak to an Egypt specialist about putting together the perfect Egypt adventure.

What our clients say
From clients who booked Soma Bay with us.
Yet another holiday with the Planet Kitesurf team again but this time to soma bay in Egypt to learn how to wingfoil.
Matt was, as always, spot on with his advice and recommendation. The Duotone pro centre in soma bay was perfectly located in the bay with flat water and great wind to learn to…Read more
wingfoil. In one week I’ve gone from not being able to fly wobbling around on a 170ltr board with a 2000 big foil down through 150ltr, 135ltr and finally to a 120ltr Duotone sky free and 1750 foil. The kit and team were so good I’ve ordered exactly the same kit to use in the UK.
The Kempinski was very good and located very close to the Duotone centre. If you prefer a quieter space I would recommend the Laguna club (that Matt recommended) it was lovely.
I would thoroughly recommend the Planet Kitesurf Team to help you choose the right Kitesurfing / wing foiling vacation and look after you when travelling. I Have been travelling with them for well over a decade. Hoping to go to Brazil next 😃
Thank you all. Steve
Thank you to the team at Planet Travel. We had a great short break to Soma Bay in March for some wingfoiling. The Duntone centre was in a great location and had all the latest kit and a very helpful team running the centre
Just booked my fifth Wingfoiling holiday through Planet Travel. It was a bit last minute, but the process is very efficient. What I appreciate most and why I have come back is that you get honest, considered advice - in this case around wind strength in Soma Bay in October versus November. If you are a windsports enthusiast I highly recommend.
