At the airport a shuttle waits for you at the hotel. From there by rental car (we are happy to arrange car pools among the participants) to the accommodation.
Accomodation & Catering
Our hotel is located directly at the Kite Lagoon. With different style bungalows, it is still a small but very fine complex with everything you need for a super kite holiday. There is a large dining room, of course with a view of the lagoon, a beach bar and a Spa.
We are provided with full board, which means a delicious breakfast buffet every morning with many European and African specialities.
For lunch, there are various international dishes in the dining room or on the terrace – always with or without meat.
For dinner, there is usually a Moroccan speciality to enjoy the sunset. Water is always included in the meals, all other drinks are payable.
Kitesurfing & Kitecenter
We live directly at the spot, so for the experienced kiters it starts directly.
The equipment can be stored directly at the spot.
There is always an FYM guide on site who will be happy to help you with anything you need and a kind of supervised kiting is offered.
Rental:
For those kiters who like to rent equipment on site, we have all the options. Usually 6 days rental including insurance is booked, so we have this package as an offer.
We have a special deal with kiteboarding center at the hotel, so you have all the confort you can imagine.
If you book in advance we get the great price of 290€ for 6 days rental. If there are no-wind-days, you will get a voucher for the day(s).
If you don’t want to do this, you can simply book and rent the equipment on site per day, then at the normal prices of the kite school.
Kite courses:
For those kiters who would like to book a kite course, we have all the facilities on site. For kiters who are already slightly advanced and want to get going again, we recommend the 8h course.
For those who want to start kiting, we recommend the 12h course, so that you can then crush safely and alone on the lagoon.
These courses are semi-private, meaning 2 people, 1 instructor and 2 kites. One session lasts 2 hours.
Our special is the ALL-INN kite course. Here you have a course the whole week, an instructor is always at your side and you will surely make the biggest progress always under the supervision of the pros.
For all other kiters who would like a private lesson or want to achieve other goals, for example in the freestyle area or want to get into foiling – talk to us, we have all the options ready for you.
Daily Routine
Of course, we do not have a prescribed daily schedule.
The following is also very important to us: It’s your holiday, you decide what you want to do. If you want to sleep in once, or always sleep in, or make a day trip to the city, or or ….. – no problem.
Feel free to decide what you really want.
We just like to give you a framework that has proven itself over the last few years.
You will receive the exact schedule after booking. As a rule, a day goes like this.
- Breakfast until 10 am, then off to the water. for kiting depending on the wind or a yoga class if thats what you are interested in before kiting
- Lunch from 1pm to 3pm, then off to the water. Either kite until sundowner, or enjoy a drink in the bar.
- Dinner from 8pm, then come together, kite theory, bar or billiards?

Kitesurfing in Dakhla means perfect wind conditions all year round and living right at the spot. If you like, all you have to do is walk a few metres from your bed to the spot and off you go 😊.
There are also some great kite specials and lots of different spots for experienced kitesurfers to try out on site. We are happy to organise trips (downwinder) to the famous White Dune or the Speedspot for you.
