Robinson Club (Soma Bay)

Soma Bay (Robinson Club) is a resort beach area built for wind sports, with shallow, fine sand and crystal-clear water. Riders typically find flat to very gently choppy conditions with small waves, making it especially friendly for freeride progression and early learning. Wind is dominated by thermal effects with a strong northerly/NW component. During the main season (May through September), the wind is described as very reliable, usually building from late morning and peaking roughly late morning through early afternoon before easing later in the day. Kite and windsurf performance is commonly tuned around this thermal timing, with typical on-water wind reported in the 15–25 knot range. Access and safety are closely tied to designated zones. Swimmer areas and passing boats are a recurring concern, so it’s important to follow the resort’s strict zone rules and not launch or ride inside swimmer sections. Local guidance also emphasizes cleaner wind selection (for example, launching west when launching from the beach) and using appropriate foot protection because coral patches may be present farther out. For equipment and learning logistics, the spot is supported by on-site water sport centers with rentals, gear storage, minor repair help, and seasonal lifeguard/rescue coverage. Overall, it’s a well-known, multi-discipline location where many riders start in supervised/managed areas before moving to more advanced launch options as conditions and skill grow.
