Desert Sands Dakhla Lagoon View & Kitesurf Spot

Inside the Pk 28 Trouke stretch of Dakhla lagoon, some 28km from town, Desert Sands sits directly on the flat water that draws kitesurfers to this stretch of Western Sahara coast — a base built for wind sport rather than sightseeing.

Rooms open straight onto sand via private entrances, and the shallow, reef-protected lagoon here is rated among the safer flat-water spots for beginners learning to water-start. A cooking class and evening karaoke fill the downwind hours.

Guests without their own gear rely on the property's shuttle for the 40-minute run into Dakhla for supplies or a change of scene.
