ION Club Tarifa 2.0 – Follow the Movement

What a rollercoaster ride the last two years have been for the whole tourism industry – or even the entire world for that matter. The challenges we faced were unprecedented and forced us to re-think and re-organise major parts of our product range and activities.

 Every challenge and every change, however, also holds a chance. A chance to re-invent, to focus, to improve and to get better. Changes & Chances is therefore the new ION CLUB Moto for 2022.

We´re proud and super excited not only to finally see all of you on the beach in our destinations again, but also to show you what we worked on!

 Tarifa is one of our oldest and most legendary destinations. For more than 30 years, ION CLUB has been present in Tarifa. Now and during those years we have kept on developing and pushing forward. We started with only one Center at the Hurricane Hotel Beach, offering Windsurfing Rental and Lessons for all Levels.

Then, in 1998 Kitesurfing came along and we opened one of the first Kiteboarding Centers at Valdevaqueros Beach in Tarifa. At this time, the place was little more than a cow field with a little old stone house on it. What made it special was the conditions on the water and the mile long white sandy beach.

Over the next 2-3 years, this beach and Tarifa in general became one of the most famous Kitesurfing spots worldwide. Offering the perfect infrastructure for Kite, and Windsurfers alike. 

A lot has changed since then. Valdevaqueros beach turned from a little Cow field in the middle of nowhere to one of the most famous beaches in Spain and with it came the large crowd of party people.

At first our Centers benefited greatly from this development and grew in one of the biggest Kite and Windsurf centres worldwide. Our values and promises to our guest remained unchanged over all these years.

In 2022 we will not change this promise, but we will re-focus even more on those core values. Our Team Members will do absolutely everything in their power to ensure you have the best Kitesurfing, Wingsurfing or Windsurfing holiday you could possibly have!

In order to expand on and share our passion for the ocean, the wind, and those amazing sports, we´ve been looking for a new home in Tarifa!

A place where likeminded people can meet in a chilled and friendly atmosphere. We couldn´t be prouder and more excited to have found this place just 300m away from the now party-focused Valdevaqueros / Tumbao Beach. Our new Center is located even closer to the water than before, connected to an amazing Beach Bar and Restaurant. The already famous Bibo beach bar & Restaurant together with the chilled Tangana Beach Bar next door, will not only provide you with the best food and snacks between your sessions on the water, but also with a very special and relaxed ambience. 

The wind conditions are exactly the same as before, while the beach is less populated by bathers and other Kite, and Windsurfers. Especially in Spring and Autumn, right in front of the Center beginners and kids find a small lagoon to practice in shallow water their first rides.

Last but not least, our new Center in Tarifa not only offers you the latest equipment from Duotone and Fanatic, but also from other top brands of the Watersports Industry. Therefore, the choice of gear was never greater than in our new Center in Tarifa.

 We cannot wait to welcome you!
