If you have ever been to Blouberg, you will have spotted the colourful kites in the sky, belonging to the lovely community of kitesurfers that frequent our windy beach. Over the years, Dolphin Beach Hotel has become a second home for the kitesurfing community and not without good reason! We’ve highlighted some of our top reasons to visit Dolphin Beach as a kitesurfer, or even merely as a spectator.

1. Rolling lawns for setting up and washing of gear

Our luscious green laws are spacious enough for you to set up your gear every morning and clean your gear every afternoon. Our green space is also the perfect spot to wind down after the day’s excitement.

2. Direct beach access

The last thing you want to do is walk for kilometres carrying your gear, because you could only find a parking spot 10 minutes away. Dolphin Beach is the only hotel on the Blouberg beach strip that has direct access to the beach, meaning you can be out of bed and in the sea within 2 minutes.

3. Kite shop on the premises

A recent addition that we are very proud of is a kite shop on the premises! This is perfect for purchasing gear, as well as any maintenance and repairs that are needed. If you need anything or simply have a question, pop over to the shop that is located where the wine cellar in Blowfish used to be.

4. We’ve got you covered for gear

We have everything you could need – from a renting station on the premises to a water drum for rinsing boards. We also have a drying rack for any wet gear. Further, we have a compressor available for you to pump up your kites.

5. Situated within a secure estate

If you are concerned about gear going missing, you don’t have to fret any longer. Dolphin Beach is located within a secure estate and is only accessible after passing the security station and traffic boom. Security guards are patrolling frequently, and the estate is surrounded with secure fencing. Our rooms are accessible by key card only, meaning that your belongings are safe. Our reception team is always vigilant, as we care about your and our safety.

6. Spacious rooms and cabanas

Our apartment-style rooms and cabanas offer a relaxing home to return to after a day spent in the waves. You can have a warm shower and a restful night’s sleep on our comfy beds. You’ll feel rejuvenated the next day – ready for more adventure.

7. We are big on community!

Dolphin Beach has an amazing and welcoming kitesurfing community during the season. We have our on-site restaurant, Blowfish, that frequently hosts events for the kiting community. Blowfish is also the perfect spot to have dinner and sundowners after a day’s fun! On top of that, we have the best view in Cape Town – perfect for great action shots, as well as your favourite sunset shoot.

If we haven’t convinced you, why not come see for yourself? We are unbeatable when it comes to kitesurfing, and we’d love for you to join our community. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team who will be able to answer all your questions. Now, what are you waiting for? Get your wetsuit on and let’s go kiting!
