Mark your calendars and pack your kites — the C Kite Festival returns from 26 to 30 June 2025, and it’s set to be nothing short of extraordinary.
Hosted on the wild and breezy east coast of Mauritius at C Mauritius Palmar, and led by our Event Ambassador and professional kitesurfer Antoine Auriol, this fourth edition promises three days of ocean thrills, golden sunsets, soulful beats and that unbeatable barefoot island energy. Whether you’re a seasoned rider, a beach dreamer, or simply someone who loves the idea of freedom in motion — this is where you need to be.
A Lagoon Full of Legends – And you!
This isn’t just a festival. It’s a gathering of the world’s most daring and charismatic kiteboarders — and you’re invited to ride, watch, or simply let it move you.
The lagoon will come alive with the presence of Gisela Pulido, fearless and iconic. Hannah Whiteley, style on a kite. Julia Castro, a burst of passion and power. Tom Court, the creative mind behind the lens and the kite. Val Garat, the definition of smooth. And Louka Pitot, Mauritian-born and bred, a C Resorts brand ambassador, and a rising global name in the sport.
Each brings their own story, style, and spirit — creating a rare and electric atmosphere on the water.
And the magic? You don’t just watch — you get to join.
On Sunday, the Best Trick and Big Air competitions are open to amateur riders, judged live by the pros. This is your chance to shine, to fly, to surprise yourself. Want to glide instead of jump? On Saturday, the collective downwind ride invites pros and guests to ride together along the stunning coastline — a shared journey powered by wind, adrenaline, and joy.
Prefer to stay dry? The pro demo sessions are a must. From gravity-defying moves to graceful landings, they’ll have you staring at the sky in awe.
When the Kiting Pauses, the Festival Begins
Once the kites come down, the rest of the island energy rises. Because the C Kite Festival is also a celebration of culture, rhythm, taste and togetherness.
The beachside culinary experience is led by Chef Lorenzo Sirabella from Italy, whose modern flair brings colour and creativity to every dish. Come hungry — leave inspired.
As day turns to night, the festival lights up with live music from local artists Jesska and Zulu, and sets from international DJ SamSax that will turn the beach into a dancefloor under the stars.
Move. Breathe. Reconnect.
Balance out the thrills with moments of grounding and flow. Naila Mall, fitness icon and energy powerhouse, will lead high-vibe training sessions to get your body moving. And when it’s time to exhale, Mauritian yoga teacher Eve Isambour will guide serene beachfront yoga at sunrise and sunset.
Need a spark before the night kicks off? Catch the flair bartending performance by Andrei Borisik (Germany). More than a cocktail — it’s theatre, it’s movement, it’s magic in a glass.
Who Is This For?
The kiter chasing wind and height.
The soul in search of beats and connection.
The traveller craving authenticity over routine.
The island spirit inside you, waiting to be set free.
Whether you ride, dance, float or simply feel it — the C Kite Festival is more than an event.
It’s a celebration. A memory in the making.
And you’re invited.
