Quick Facts
Overview
Eco Surf Lodge is located in Lassarga, a fishing village in the far south of the Dakhla Peninsula. The long forbidden beach at Lassarga has inspired the imagination of the traveling surfers for many years: Since one can recognize the wave with its clear lines and its extraordinary length during the landing phase to Dakhla airport, the then sealed off coast section the longing of surfers. Today, fortunately, guests can officially surf the dream wave and enjoy the hospitality of the locals.
The region in Western Sahara claimed by Morocco forms the link between the swells of the Atlantic and the sands of the Sahara, a paradise oasis of peace. While Dakhla has long been a popular destination among kite and windsurfing fans, the region is still in the shadow of the well-known spots around Agadir among the surfing community. In Dakhla, you surf empty line-ups, enjoy the tranquility of the Sahara and laze on the deckchair in pleasantly warm temperatures. This destination is definitely not suitable for party-goers.
The Eco Lodge is part of an increasingly committed commitment to responsible tourism: 100 solar energy, bungalows made entirely of wood, dry toilets, greywater filtration according to plants and local, ecological agriculture.
