A WORD FROM THE MANAGER
Not only is the spot in Dakhla Lassarga special, but so is the team! With Karin Tibau in the lead, they will provide you with everything you need for a perfect holiday.

best spots FOR KITESURFING AND WINDSURFING
OCEAN SIDE
The spot is located directly on a 1.5 km long sandy beach whose headland turns from north-northeast swell wave and thus creates a fantastic wave running to the right. On good days you can surf for almost a kilometer, from the point to the fishing village at the end of the beach, which means almost two minutes on the wave! During the season (October to March) this is one of the best spots in Dakhla for surfing and it is also close to several other spots that complement the offer.
LAGOON SIDE
For beginners, on the other side of the peninsula (just around the corner) there is another beautiful sandy beach with shallow water that faces north to south, so the wind there usually blows sideshore from the left. A great place for kite and windsurf beginners to teach.
LASSARGA
ION CLUB Lassarga center is located right on the beach right next to the Ocean Vagabond Restaurant, has the best view of the resort and is just 1 minute walk from this fantastic wave area. Everything you need for water sports can be found in a cozy ambience: lots of equipment, hammocks, sun chairs and a highly motivated team. Great as a starting point for many nice sessions or to chill to watch the action on the water.
BEST PERIODS
February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October
WIND
Wind in Dakhla usually comes from north - northeast, and offers fantastic opportunities for advanced and intermediate windsurfers and kitesurfers at the OCEAN SIDE. In the Lagoon side, the wind there usually blows sideshore from the left.
WAVES
Right at our door we have a 1.5km sandy beach with a fantastic pointbreak that generates a great right wave – you can even see that on the satellite picture of Google Maps, how the swell comes from north-northwest and “embraces” the point creating a nice series of waves. On good days, you can surf almost 1km, from the pointbreak to the fishermen village at the end of the beach. The successive breakers along the beach offer a wave for each level and being so close to the shore, you can walk back to the breaker instead of paddle back. A carrousel of waves that allows you to focus on surfing rather than paddling.

WHAT TO DO AROUND DAKHLA ?
SAHARA EXPERIENCES
White Dune – a stunning natural phenomenon which stand in the middle of the lagoon .This wild site is also the hangout of the pink flamingos . White Dune is accessible in Downwind or by car 4×4
Hot shower at the Source of Asmaa – coming back from a downwind at the Speed Spot or from White Dune, experience the unique natural 38°C source water power shower in the desert .A sulphurous water excellent for the skin .
Dragon Island – a magical island shaped as a dragon head, accessible by boat and where you can enjoy a picnic, explore or dig to find therapeutic pure clay for body and face
Dakhla Souk
Not very big, but authentic. Like all Moroccan cities, Dakhla has its own souk. Unlike Marrakech, the souk of Dakhla is a little small, but it is well worth a visit. You will even find souvenirs that you will find difficult to find in other Moroccan cities. Among the objects you will find in this souk is the Melhfa. It is this light fabric that women in the Sahara use to cover themselves. It can bring you a little freshness on your next visits to the desert.
Bird watching
Animal lovers will not be disappointed either when they visit Dakhla, this particular region where the sea meets the desert. During the various walks they will do, they will be able to make unexpected encounters with a unique bird or reptiles. But for those who really want to make animal watching one of their main activities in Dakhla, it is possible to go on safaris in the desert to meet the mammals and reptiles that have made their home in this atypical universe. There are also excursions on the coast to observe pink flamingos and other migratory birds that come to enjoy the sun in this part of Morocco.
