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.
Karin Tibau
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 ?
Yoga and kite Xperience
Whatever your goals, Kirsty Jones will teach, coach and guide you in the safest and best way for you to progress, enjoy and evolve! Kirsty’s KJ Experience courses are aimed at kitesurfers who want to pro-gress and step up to the next level with their riding, or for beginners, Kirsty offers one to one tailor made lessons that need to be pre- booked. Kirsty has designed these highly fulfilling and rewarding courses using her many years of knowledge and experience from the ocean, kitesurfing, surfing, teaching, coaching, yoga, and competition strategy, training and mindset. Kirsty’s main motivation is a deep passion to help others realise and reach their full potential in kitesurfing, surfing, life, physically and mentally, sharing guidance and lessons that can be learnt from the wind, waves, kite, yoga and nature.
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.
