Accommodation

You will be staying at a beautiful resort on the lagoon with a restaurant, bar, spa, and many other amenities and extras to enjoy. Their 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. All guests will be sharing a double room, but you have the possibility to get a single room for a little extra fee.

There is something very special about living, sleeping, eating, and kitesurfing in the middle of the desert, right in front of a lagoon. Away from the crowds, but with great company and like-minded people!

Program

They promise you a whole day of kiting and/or surfing, with the opportunity to learn yoga or deepen your existing practice.

Of course, they do not have a prescribed daily schedule. The following is also very important to them: 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, no problem. Feel free to decide what you really want.

Free Your Mind Experience just likes to give you a framework that has proven itself over the last few years. You will receive the exact schedule after booking. Depending on the weather conditions, you will start the day with a kitesurf or yoga session in the morning and, as from noon, you will continue with kitesurfing until the end of the day, riding until the sun sets. As a rule, a day goes like this.

If there really is no wind, they have some really cool alternatives at the start. You can try canoeing or stand-up paddling, go on a dune hike to Dragon Island, or simply get a massage at the spa. Other options include extended yoga sessions and breathing workshops. If you want to be sporty, you can go surfing or use the wakeboard facility in the neighboring hotel.

Instructors

Tanja Rosenkranz

2 Certificates Show Hide

Since the earliest days of kitesurfing, Tanja put her heart and soul in it. She did her TTC in India in 2012 and is into her own deep yoga practice since then. Tanja teaches Hatha and Vinyasa flow yoga in a very own style. Kitesurfing is her passion too and whether it's to get her adrenaline feeling in competitions, organize kite camps on the most beautiful spots in the world, or teach a lot of students in order to share this passion. The result is Free your Mind Experience and its home base in Tarifa but offering a variety of top-class destinations such as Dakhla or Sri Lanka.

Location

This camp will be held in Dakhla, Morocco. Dakhla is without any doubt, one of the best kitesurf and surf destinations worldwide. Dakhla is located in the south of Morocco / Western Sahara on a peninsula.

The kite lagoon is about 35 kilometers long with a constant wind for kitesurfing. There is wind all year round, making it one of the most reliable short-haul destinations you can reach from Europe!

In Dakhla, the whole region is geared towards kitesurfing. There’s something for every kitesurfer: Flat water for beginners and intermediates, nearby access to popular coastal wave spots, downwinder opportunities, a foiling paradise, and even a super flat speed spot where you can perfect your freestyle tricks.

As a result, it has witnessed a constant and large increase in tourism in the last 10 years. In that sense, you will find the lagoon quite busy in the high season. But the rest of the year, it is a true blessing to have the spot almost to yourself.

Above all, Dakhla offers more than 330 windy days per year! Therefore, no matter when you will be able to have an incredible kitesurfing holiday!
