Kids get your kites ready as a Kite Festival is coming!

Kids get your kites ready as a Kite Festival is coming!

It’s almost time for the Kite Festival at the Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Resort. After being rescheduled earlier this year, the 2017 event is now due to take place on April 28.

With more than 100 families signed up to attend this year’s event, the Anantara is aiming to colour the sky above the Desert Islands Resort & Spa’s beach with hundreds of kites.

The day will kick off at 11am and will see parents and kids making their own kites at the special creative stations dotted along the beach.

Once all the kites are ready they will be flown along the pristine beach of the resort.

Complimentary food, music and fun for all will be available afterwards until 5pm, as well as kids entertainment such as a mini adventure park sponsored by Adventure HQ and beach games including kayaking and archery.

In order for all guests to enjoy the fun, it’s not mandatory to fly a kite. Many visitors may choose to treat this as an opportunity to spend the day and to see this incredible sight of colourful kites flying.

“We as the Anantara Team, have started to countdown to the Kite Fest 2017 and are looking forward to welcoming new faces, as well as returning visitors to Sir Bani Yas Island this year,” explains General Manager, Christian Gerart.

“I am especially excited about the new contest category we have created for this year’s event – and I’m curious to see the impressive kite creations our guests will come up with!”

At last year’s festival, visitors were awarded for the smallest, largest and most creative kites, however this year will see a new category for the most outstanding kite shaped like an animal.

The event costs AED 150 per adult and AED 100 per child, which includes boat transfer, transport on the island, a free food item, soft drink, kids entertainment and a kite kit. Cash payments can be made at the venue on Feb 3.

Guests staying in any of Anantara’s three resorts on Sir Bani Yas Island for the week of the event are entitled for up to 40 percent savings on accommodation including daily breakfast, as well as 25 percent savings on all island activities*. Anantara’s Kite Festival Specials start with rates from AED 1,200*.
