An immense lagoon of Dakhla is a unique place to practice wingfoil. Its constant wind blowing all the year round, flat shallow water, sandy bottoms and total absence of risks permit you to learn or progress in wingfoil in complete safety and short time. The best wind conditions for wing foiling are probably in spring, autumn and winter season when we have the wind from 8kn to 20kn max. In summer the wind is pumping in Dakhla and sometimes can overpass even 35kn, but we still can catch moderate wind early morning or evening. So don't hesitate to come :) The water temperature in Summer is about 22 degrees in lagoon, while in autumn and winter it goes down to 18-19 degrees. Though in Summer we recommend to bring your 4 and 3m wings, while in autumn and winter 5-7 are perfect. As for the wetsuits, 3/2 long should work well all the year round.

The Destination

Western Sahara, in particularly Dakhla is a stunning land where the ocean meets the desert with its strong Northerly winds that blow almost all the year round parallel to the coast. You don't travel here for night life or a great cultural experience, but it's definitely the place where you can disconnect to reconnect! And surely to practice or learn watersports such as kitesurf, wingfoil, windsurf and even surf during winter season. It's a rocky part of the desert, where you won't find high yellow sand dunes, even if we have some, but many cliffs and even stones. The main beauty of this region is the ocean on one side and the flat shallow lagoon on the other side of the desert peninsula.

The Experience

As most of the flights arrive in Dakhla late evening, we expect you to have a good night rest before we start the trip.  We plan to make 6 coaching days with a session/day, which means that during the next 6 days we will have morning or afternoon session and the rest of the day you can dedicate to enjoy your vacation in this unique land, take a yoga session with our professional teacher, ride a quad or just chill on the beach. We will make sure you make progressions and find the conditions that suit you the best. The choice of the spot and the time of the lesson every day will depend obviously on the forecast, real conditions and the student level. Be sure to avoid crowded spots, with our 4-wheel drive you are going to discover the most beautiful spots in the area. During your stay and on the most "unwindy" day we will organize a sandboard trip! Our dunes sandboard park close to the ocean is definetly worth to see and to ride in!

wingfoil course

We will start our first wingfoil lesson already the next morning after your arrival, choosing the best time of the day according to wind and tide conditions and of course to avoid the "high Season” crowds on the spot. We have developed a training concept for the Wing Foil that will get you to "fly" over the water quickly and safely. Everyday our instructors will follow your progress step by step, properly evaluate the risks, and make the learning process fun and simple!

yoga sessions

We collaborate with professional yoga teacher, who's specialized on different yoga practices, such as hatha, vinyasa, kundalini and others. During your 6 days experience with us you'll have an opportunity to practice yoga before or after your wingfoil adventure. Please, do not hesitate to ask about exact yoga practice once you are here

Accommodation

During your vacation you will stay in an elegant guest house, ideally located seafront at the entrance to Dakhla. We pretty sure their team will make you feel home away from home with their family vibes and friendly atmosphere. It has double and triple rooms with private bathrooms and air condition, perfect for couples, friends, families and surely single travelers. It has a stylish breakfast room, wifi, rooftop terrace with a beautiful view of the lagoon and a small garden, great for chilling and your sport equipment storage. The delicious breakfast with aromatic Moroccan tea or coffee is offered every morning! The owner is an amazing Spanish lady, living and working in Dakhla for more than 13 years. She’s coming from hospitality business and she definitely brought her experience to this little villa. We have chosen this accommodation for its relaxing vibes, hospitality, food and cozy rooms.
