The C Kite Festival Returns for its 4th Edition on the East Coast of Mauritius
Curated by C Resorts and supported by world champion Antoine Auriol, the festival brings together an exceptional lineup of riders from across the globe, each with their own distinctive style and speciality. From powerful Big Air to technical freestyle, the diversity of the sport will be on full display with talents such as Gisela Pulido, Hannah Whiteley, Julia Castro, Tom Court, Val Garat and Louka Pitot – professional Mauritian kitesurfer and C Resorts brand ambassador.
More than a showcase of athletic excellence, the C Kite Festival fosters authentic connection between professionals and passionate amateurs through open competitions such as Best Trick and Big Air, judged by the pros themselves. A highlight of the programme is the collective downwind ride, where all levels come together to ride side by side, celebrating the shared joy of gliding across the turquoise lagoon. Several pro demo sessions will complete the experience, offering spectators a close-up view of world-class performance.
As much a cultural gathering as a sporting event, the C Kite Festival also highlights the richness of international exchange through music, wellness and food vibes. The festival welcomes artists and performers from around the globe, creating a space where global influences meet local creativity. From Mauritian singers Jesska and Zulu to DJ SamSax from the UK, and flair bartender Andrei Borisik from Germany, each guest brings their unique rhythm, flavour or energy to the island. Culinary moments will be led by Chef Lorenzo Sirabella from Italy, whose bold, sun-inspired cuisine will be served beachside in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. A strong wellness programme runs alongside the core events, with fitness sessions led by regional personality Naila Mall, and sunrise and sunset yoga guided by local teacher Eve Isambourg, inviting guests to connect with the natural rhythm of the island.
Open to guests staying at C Mauritius and to external participants via advance registration, the C Kite Festival is more than an event — it is a celebration of movement, culture, and community, where every wave, every beat, and every shared moment becomes part of a larger, free-spirited story.
