Between the Atlantic and the desert, Dakhla is a sand spit lined by a turquoise lagoon unlike anywhere else. Shallow, flat, warm water on the lagoon side and steady wind make conditions ideal to learn kitesurf, wingfoil or windsurf safely, and to progress at a high level. On the ocean side, the Aarish waves welcome surfers, while catamarans glide to Dragon Island, the oyster beds and the great white dune. An exceptional water-sports destination, far from the crowds.

Kitesurf and wingfoil in the lagoon

Dakhla's lagoon is one of the few bodies of water on earth combining flat water, shallow depth (you can often stand) and near-daily thermal wind from March to October. It's the perfect place for a first kitesurf or wingfoil lesson: the instructor stays close, modern gear is provided, and you're never swept out to sea. Advanced riders find freestyle spots and long downwinders along the dune.

Catamaran, surf and Dragon Island

Beyond wind sports, Dakhla unfolds by catamaran: a lagoon cruise with lunch, a stop at Dragon Island and a swim in crystal-clear water, often among flamingos. On the ocean side, the Aarish fishing village offers waves perfect for a first surf lesson, transfer and lunch included. A way to alternate adrenaline and relaxation in a single day.
