Kitesurfing in Dakhla and everything you need to know about the kitespots around Dakhla:
Thanks to the pleasant temperatures throughout the year and the constant wind, the Dakhla lagoon is a kitesurfing paradise. 
For more than 5 years we are at the northern, “small” lagoon of Dakhla. Action-packed years with lots of wind, fun and more and more kiters… With Jerome, the hotelier of the Tour d’Eole, we found a charming luxury accommodation for kiters on the eastern side of the big lagoon. From now on you can improve your kite level with us in an untouched, not overcrowded kite area with side onshore wind.
With two shallow water spots right in front of the door, the Kitespot is ideal for learning kitesurfing or perfecting freestyle tricks. Since there is no other kite school in the immediate near, the kite spots offer more than enough space on the water. Of course, kite courses are also offered by certified and multilingual instructors – whether for beginners, intermediates or special courses, for example in wave kitesurfing.
The result: A perfect kite destination for beginners, intermediates, freestylers and wavekiters.
At the lagoon is the luxurious La Tour d’Eole, a unique ecolodge and kitesurf hotel. Jerome, who comes from a french hotelier family, has built a beautiful and thoughtful accommodation with his long experience. The hotel is perfectly situated in the middle of the fascinating dune landscape with its stylish and sustainable design. Consisting of 21 private, sheltered bungalows with terrace and views of the lagoon and spot. Also from the heated pool or from the sunbathing lawn you have a wonderful view of the lagoon.
The restaurant offers a refreshing and 100% organic gourmet cuisine and presents the best local products and delicious Moroccan traditions.
And should the wind turns down there are many activities to do.

Jérôme, Center Manager

The Dakhla peninsula possesses many assets that built its reputation around the world: a daily sun, a regular wind blowing between 15 and 25 knots more than 300 days per year, a flat and shallow water on the lagoon side and amazing waves on the ocean side. Besides being a paradise for water sports, Dakhla is also a great place for travelers seeking wild landscapes and high quality seafood. Here you can enjoy freshly harvested oysters directly from the farm, lobsters and octopus caught same day!

Kitesurfing

KITESURFING IN DAKHLA

Kitespots & Kiteschool


We have found another really cool spot in Morocco where you will have real fun kitesurfing and learning to kitesurf. Right at the big lagoon of Dakhla, on the eastern side, we found a still very untouched kitespot. The best thing about it is that there are no other kite schools in the immediate neighbourhood, which means plenty of space on the water to learn kitesurfing or to try out the latest freestyle tricks.

Kitesurfing in Dakhla - perfect wind conditions all year round coupled with relaxing accommodation that will give you the energy back for the next kite session. There really are a lot of different spots that you can try out locally. For example, the spot at the famous White Dune in Dakhla or the Speedspot in Dakhla.
Our Ocean Academy is located at an excellent kitesurf spot. You have access to two spots: the lagoon and the so-called “pool”, where you will find the best shallow water conditions at high tide.
La Tour d’Eole is the first facility to be built in this coveted and still very pristine location by Bruna Kajiya, the triple kitesurfing world champion: It is a paradise for beginners and demanding professionals. Duotone’s kite equipment is renewed every year, our professional instructors are certified and multilingual.
The licensed teachers train in the untouched shallow lagoon with lateral onshore wind.

OTHER ACTIVITIES BESIDES KITESURFING

White Dune

A trip to the breathtaking White Dune – either as a downwinder back to La Tour d’Eole or by jeep – brings you closer to the desert feeling of the Sahara with incredible panoramic views.

Excursions to the natural spectacle, Sebkhet Imlily

In the south of Dakhla there is a real natural jewel in the heart of the desert. Here, on sandy and rocky paths, the water flows miraculously. Sebkhet Imlily is a unique wetland in southern Morocco. In fact, you can observe dozens of large holes in the ground scattered as far as the eye can see. In contrast to the aridity of the region, these waters are rich in fish.

Stand Up Paddling in Dakhla

A good complement to kitesurfing is Stand Up Paddling in Dakhla and the large lagoon offers you plenty of space to start a proper SUP tour. Especially on days without wind, stand up paddling is the perfect alternative to kitesurfing in Dakhla.
