4* Lagon Energy Dakhla
DakhlaThe 'Lagon Energy Dakhla' has been given a makeover under new management in 2023 with more than 5,000 trees, bushes, and aromatic plants, plus an organic vegetable garden. Having this green oasis in the desert is very refreshing. The property is famous for its great atmosphere, good food and friendly service.
Due to its position at the very end of the lagoon, it is subject to big tidal influences. At high tides there is a big area of very shallow flat water; really great for kitesurfers. At low tides there is a long walk to the water's edge and it can feel quite crowded; at these times it is better to go downwind to find more space. For Wing Foiling the deep water section is more limited here. The water here is also very flat.
There are 2 types of accommodation :
Pacha Lodge (25 sq m) - large bungalows with best location. Ideal for couple of families. Private bathroom, king bed, terrace, lounge
Young Blood - (18 sq m) - smaller bungalow for those on more of a budget. Best for singles or a couple. Private bathroom, small terrace, king bed.
Healthy Food - For a good start of the day, for breakfast we offer, among others, a selection of Moroccan pancakes with a homemade assortment of energy balls and banana bread. Every day, the chef prepares a varied and balanced buffet, with an assortment of verrines and salads from our vegetable garden. Thanks to the year-round mild climate, abundant sunshine and recycled water, we currently cultivate almost one acre of land in our “DESERT GARDEN” enriched with the manure and compost from our small farm. According to the time of year, we wish you “bon appétit”; while tasting the vegetables from our organic garden.Throughout your stay you will enjoy Moroccan specialities such as Tangia (beef shank prepared with confit lemons, garlic and cumin), traditional couscous, but also a selection of African dishes such as “Tiep bou dien”, a rice stew with vegetables and fish.You will taste the Courbine, a delicious white fish that is caught in the local waters as well as clams and razor clams that are abundant in Dakhla Bay, and you will be able to enjoy the famous Dakhla oysters, not to mention the lobster that our Chef will prepare for you upon request. Served by the plate, give in to the temptation of their flagship desserts with the “tarte tatin” reinvented in the shape of a “flouka” – the traditional Moroccan boat-, the seasonal Moroccan raspberry and blueberry cake? or yet an assortment of Moroccan pastries served with traditional Saharawi tea, while savouring the Moroccan evening.They grow a wide variety of vegetables and spices in our organic garden, enjoy its incredible flavor and its maximum organic quality full of color.
