Palais Rhoul Dakhla
Palais Rhoul Dakhla — Dakhla’s leading luxury hotel and the city’s oldest residence, set between lagoon and desert for nearly a century. A distinctive luxury guesthouse, with a table that serves what it catches.
A house with soul facing the lagoon
Here, hospitality is experienced differently. The rooms and suites, each one unique, extend the spirit of the place through light, natural materials and the Saharan horizon. Every detail has been considered so that the house feels lived in, not visited.

Our guests say it best
A rare house, in the words of those who have experienced it.
"Une expérience véritablement unique du début à la fin. Les chambres sont magnifiques : spacieuses, élégantes, confortables, pensées pour créer une vraie sensation de paix et de bien-être. Il y a une atmosphère et une énergie propres à cet endroit, tout simplement
introuvables ailleurs.."
“What truly makes the difference is the soul of the place and the people who bring it to life every day. You feel cared for, supported when needed, and then free to enjoy your stay fully. Some places cannot be described; they have to be experienced.”
“Rarely has a hotel experience felt so complete. Palais Rhoul rests on several things: the place itself, the kindness of the team, the cuisine, the calm, and that rare feeling of being at home. You simply feel good — genuinely happy.”
