The Princess d’Annam Resort and Spa on Ke Ga Bay
is calling all fledgling and would-be kite surfers to experience
its shores and winds in a novel, learn-to-kite surf package.
The
package costs $1,295 for two surfers staying three nights,
including accommodation and two three-hour sessions with an
internationally qualified instructor.
Post-lesson, kite surfers can enjoy a 50-minute
After Sun Cucumber Body Wrap in the resort’s spa. And then: a
Princess d'Annam bouillabaisse dinner on the resort’s terrace.
Both are included in the package price.
Surf Experience also covers a bottle of wine and
fruit basket on arrival and fresh fruit and drinking water while
learning to surf. Complimentary WiFi use across the resort is also
included.
Jean-Philippe Beghin, general manager of the
Princess d’Annam, believes the package will prove a hit with those
wanting to mix exercise and activity with relaxation and luxury.
“This is more than just a toe in the water for
people who want to learn to kite surf,” said Beghin. “By the end
of the second lesson, the new surfer will have the basics in place
of a new and challenging hobby.”
The Kite Surf Experience package was designed
for people who’ve dreamed of getting out there but who lacked the
wherewithal to get started in the sport. The first session begins
with the basics of equipment and safety and ends with a third hour
in the water. The next three-hour session is all in the water and
will see guests, progressing on the basics of standing, surfing
and turning.
“From there, it’s just a matter of building
experience, confidence and endurance,” said Instructor Nguyen
Thanh Trung.
Trung and his team also plan ‘continuing
education’ in wind sports for beginners who want to push on to
intermediate waters, and intermediates who really want to push the
envelope.
Single travelers can experience the new package
for $925. Alternatively couples, with only one surfer, can also
enjoy the package priced at $1055.
The Kite Surf Experience is inclusive of 5%
government tax and a 5% service charge and is commissionable to
bona fide travel agents.
