The wave is a very long “left hand” wave! There are two breaks- “the cape” and “the point”, the wave at “the point” (right beneath the hotel) is 2.3 km, and the wave at “the cape” is 2 km, when the two of them join they form a 4.3 Km long wave! (this does not happen all the time). The first half is perfect for Foiling (SUP & surf) as there are barely any surfers. The wave is soft and open and very consistent There are two small speed boats that bring the surfers back to the point at the end of each wave, so that the surfers don’t have to waste their energy to get back either on foot or paddling, and also can be used to practice Foil “flying” towed by the boat before entering the waves. This allows surfers to reach 30-35 waves in one sessions (approx. 3 hours), twice a day.

The rooms are of a very high standard, and every small detail of comfort for surfers was thought of, such as well-kept clean surfboard storage room, to which the boards are taken by the staff as soon as you return to the hotel, an outdoor shower near a wetsuit drying room. On the balcony, there is a 44 C (110F) Jacuzzi hot-tub overlooking the waves, with strong jets to loosen and comfort your muscles, and a cold water swimming pool, which allows the hot-cold action to release muscle tension.
