From
ItalyI came to Dakhla for kitesurfing and everything worked perfectly staying at Dunes de Dakhla. The hotel is located in the desert, but being one of the 6 hotels from Dakhla Hospitality Group there are free transfers between the hotel and Dakhla Attitude, which is the most recommended kitesurfing camp, also owned by the group. It’s quite magical to sleep in the desert, kite, and then get back to the hotel. The ride is around 20 minutes. lFor me the transfer in the morning was around 10 and the transfer back was super flexible based on my schedule.
To take kiting lessons at Attitude you can simply show up (they are organized in packs of 2hrs with starting times at 09:00, 11:00, 14:00 and 16:00) and you’ll get assigned to an instructor based on your level (although you can prebook for 10% discount). Staying at les Dunes you arrive in time for the 11am start.
The staff is extremely friendly, i was well taken care of by Mohamed and Mr Yousef, the hotel manager.
Rooms are nice and well kept.
some reviews mention that the water is sulfuric and smells - that’s true, but no harm in that. it’s water that comes from the ground
Food is good and abundant (Italian speaking here, my opinion counts 😉)
Overall, highly recommended combo as long as you’re fine with having a bit less flexibility as you’re not staying in the lagoon (thought it would bother me but in the end I really enjoyed this setup).
