Dakhla Desert & Lagoon: Wild Horizons

Morocco

4 Days

Dakhla

Tucked between the Sahara and the Atlantic, Dakhla remains one of Morocco’s best-kept secrets, a remote haven known only to those truly in the know. Beloved by water sports aficionados, its steady winds and glassy lagoons offer world-class conditions for kite surfing, far from the crowds. This is a place for the bold and the curious, where vast desert landscapes meet endless ocean horizons, and every session on the water feels like a discovery.

Day 1

Ride the white dunes 4x4 adventure

Touchdown in Daklah by plane and we'll then head straight out to Dakhla’s White Dune in a 4x4. It is surrounded by the ocean at high tide, flamingos often at sight. You’ll get an amazing impression of the area’s stunning colours and views. We will then head back along the peninsula to reach a local Oyster Farm. A long-established cooperative, it has become one of the best fish restaurants of the region. After a great late lunch, enjoy an afternoon chilling out at one of the cool resorts of the bay. We’ll be back to Dakhla and get you checked into your boutique hotel before dinner.

Day 2

Kitesurf Up

The Dakhla Peninsula has earned its reputation as one of the world’s premier kite surfing destinations, where steady winds and mirror-flat lagoons create ideal conditions for every level of rider. Whether you are just finding your balance or already mastering the waves, this is the ultimate playground. With year-round sunshine and a setting that feels wonderfully remote, each session on the water is as exhilarating as it is serene. Spend the day gliding across the lagoon at your own pace, or allow us to pair you with a skilled instructor who will have you soaring in no time.

Day 3

Restorative Yoga & Spa day

Begin the morning with a revitalizing yoga session on the beach, moving in harmony with the ocean breeze alongside a welcoming local group. Afterward, the day is yours to enjoy as you wish—stretch out on the sand, return to the lagoon for more kite surfing, or sample other exhilarating water sports from stand-up paddleboarding to wakeboarding. For a gentler pace, indulge in a restorative spa treatment, the perfect way to balance adventure with deep relaxation.

Day 4

Flavors and Traditions of Dakhla

The day begins with an immersion into local life at Dakhla’s bustling market, where fishermen present their morning catch and the scent of freshly baked bread fills the air. From here, step into the Museum of Saharan Culture, a fascinating space that showcases the traditions and artistry of nomadic desert life. A leisurely late lunch awaits at a charming seafront restaurant, offering a taste of the peninsula’s culinary highlights. In the afternoon, visit a nearby ostrich farm before unwinding at one of the bay’s stylish resorts, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere before returning to Dakhla for the evening.
