The Grenadines and Union Island is becoming the new Kitesurfing spot everyone is talking about.
Some of the biggest brands have used Union Island as their destination to promote their upcoming photoshoot and a lot of pro kiteboarders are coming here to train during the winter.
If you are planning on coming to kitesurf in the Grenadines, staying on Union island in our partner hotel right on the Kitebeach is the best way to discover the Grenadines.
Getting Here
Flying to Union Island is pretty simple, you can follow the instructions here. Once arrived, you can check into the hotel and go for your first Kite session an hour after landing !
Renting a Catamaran or a Sail Boat from one of the other Caribbean islands such as Martinique, St Lucia or Grenada can take you up to 1 and 2 days sailing time before reaching the Grenadines which will take between 2 and 4 days off of your whole Kite Vacation.
The Spot
All the spots of the Grenadines are all located around Union Island. Union Island has three of the main and best kite spots and it is where you will spend most of your time if you are planning on Kitesurfing in the Grenadines.
Kitebeach, at the JT Pro Center is our favourite spot to Kite in the Grenadines. It is one of the best turquoise flat-water spots in the world along with all the great amenities that the Kite Center has on offer. Kitebeach is also a great starting point to get to the Palm Island waves.
The Hotel is located on the Kite Spot, if you stay in the Kitebeach room, the Ocean is touching your doorstep and you barely have to walk to have your kite up and ready to take you on the beautiful turquoise lagoon.
Discovering the neighbour spots in no time.
Union island is located very close to the three other Kite Spots of the Grenadines. More info about the Kite Spots here.
You can see how fast you can get to the other spots when starting from Union Island by having a look at the Kite Spots map at the bottom of this page.
When discovering the Grenadines you will want to go at least once to these spots just to discover these beautiful islands.
The JT Pro Center organizes All-Inclusive Full-Day Kite Tours which take you to two different Kite Spots and invites you to visit the Tobago Cays and snorkel with the amazing Turtles, an unforgettable experience.
We also organise Half-Day Tours to the other smaller Kites Spots on Union Island.
If you stay 10 days or more, from our past experience, our guests go on a Full-Day Kite Tour and then on one or two extra discovery half-day tours and spend all the other days Kitesurfing at the Hotel kite spot at JT Pro Center.
