May marks the start of the kite season, so conditions are great without the summer crowds. Plus, it’s Cyprus—you can kite in the morning, explore ancient ruins in the afternoon, and be dancing under the stars by night. Windy, warm, and a little bit wild—Cyprus is ready to fly. 🪁🇨🇾 Larnaka and Limassol are popular places to look for accommodation.

Toss in poke bowls, sunsets, and island vibes, and you’ve got yourself a kitesurfing trip that might just ruin all others. 🌺🪁 Maui, Kauai and O’ahu are popular islands to stay for kitesurfers and surfers.
