★★★★★ – “Sport et détente réunis”
“Grâce à Brahim, j’ai progressé en kitesurf en toute sécurité sur la lagune. Après l’effort, Fatima nous attendait avec un service attentionné et le spa nous a offert un moment de pure détente. Bravo à toute l’équipe !”

★★★★★ – Séjour exceptionnel au Palais Rhoul Dakhla
« De retour au Portugal, vous nous manquez déjà. Notre séjour avec vous ne pouvait pas être meilleur. Ce fut une façon inoubliable de célébrer les 80 ans de notre mère. Toute l’équipe a été extrêmement attentionnée, professionnelle et toujours disponible. Jeanne a été incroyablement dévouée.
L’hôtel est splendide (encore plus que sur les photos), décoré avec soin et offrant des espaces au design unique et confortable. La cuisine, marocaine et variée, était délicieuse, et le petit déjeuner fabuleux. Toutes les expériences ont été organisées avec une grande précision : chauffeurs, instructeur de surf, loueur de voiture, chacun a été attentif et professionnel.
Au-delà de l’oasis spectaculaire qu’est le Palais Rhoul, nous avons adoré découvrir Dakhla : le désert intense, les dunes majestueuses, les plages immenses et préservées. Les habitants nous ont accueillis chaleureusement et nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité. La seule ombre au tableau : les déchets visibles le long des paysages, un défi important pour préserver ce cadre exceptionnel.
Un immense merci à toute l’équipe. Nous recommanderons sans hésiter le Palais Rhoul à nos proches et espérons revenir bientôt. »

– Michael & Laura | Toronto, June 2025
★★★★☆ – “Hospitalité marocaine au sommet”
“Fofana et Bakayoko nous ont accueillis comme des rois. Toujours souriants, toujours disponibles, sans jamais être envahissants. On a eu l’impression d’être à la maison, mais dans un cadre idyllique entre lagune et désert.”
– Elise | Madrid, février 2025
A little like home in a small palace. Cozy, warm, and beautifully curated. Every room feels like a journey; so much care, kindness, and generosity. Passionately restful, revitalizing, and delicious. Madly in love with this slice of paradise that feels like the ends of the earth—yet not far at all.
★★★★★ – “The kind of hospitality you never forget”
“From the warm welcome to the last breakfast overlooking the lagoon, everything was flawless. We especially enjoyed the massages and the hammam – a true immersion into Moroccan wellness traditions.”
– Daniel & Sarah | Dublin, April 2025
★★★★☆ – “Exquisite Moroccan cuisine”
“The meals were a highlight: garden vegetables, freshly baked bread, and traditional Moroccan flavors. Dinner by the water felt so romantic. We only wish we could have stayed longer.”
– Anna | Copenhagen, March 2025
★★★★★ – “Une équipe exceptionnelle”
“Nous avons été accueillis par Jeanne avec une gentillesse rare. Elle a pensé à tout pour rendre notre séjour parfait. Loïc nous a conseillé pour le kitesurf et Rachida nous a régalés avec sa cuisine marocaine. Un souvenir impérissable !”
– Anna & Marc | Bruxelles, avril 2025
An extraordinary stay in a truly magical place. Think “Rousseau”: each moment a quiet pleasure, every memory unforgettable. Sleep with the sea at your door, wake to sunrise over a deep-blue lagoon and the Sahara’s cliffs. Breakfast on a sunlit terrace sets the tone. Drift between pool and beach; take a small boat to a hidden cove and enjoy grilled dorado or lobster on the sand. Explore the Sahara, climb the White Dune, sip mint tea in the shade of a 4×4, watch flamingos in the distance. Evenings unfold at the restaurant, sharing stories and plans. What sets it apart is the human, almost family-like spirit, and a team both discreet and impeccably kind—the perfect blend of luxury and true hospitality. A place to discover—and return to.
★★★★★ – “Unforgettable stay in Dakhla”
“The setting is breathtaking – waking up every morning with the lagoon right outside our terrace was magical. The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the fish of the day. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better retreat.”
– James & Emma | London, April 2025
★★★★★ – “Un séjour romantique parfait”
“Pour notre anniversaire de mariage, Jeanne avait préparé une surprise dans notre suite : pétales de roses et vue magique sur la lagune. Après un massage à l’huile d’argan, nous avons savouré un dîner exceptionnel pied dasj l'eau. Magique !”
– Clara & Hugo | Lyon, juin 2025
★★★★★ – Paradis des kitesurfeurs
Dakhla est incroyable, et le Palais Rhoul a rendu notre séjour parfait. L’école Kite No Limit nous a permis de progresser rapidement dans un cadre sécurisé. Après chaque session, nous retrouvions le confort du spa et la gastronomie locale.
— Marco R. | Milan, juin 2025
I went with my fiancé, and honestly, we didn’t expect this. It’s a place unlike any other—more a maison than a hotel. You feel at home because the team is so warm and welcoming. Guests drift to the lounge, the terrace, or the pool, and the vibe is genuinely convivial. Think boho-chic luxury or, if you like, a palace with the heart of a youth hostel. We took wonderful outings and spent lively evenings eating, drinking, and reimagining the world with other guests. Our light-filled room opened onto a stunning view of the lagoon; soft sheets and generous beds made it hard to leave. I loved this blend of styles—impossible to categorize, in the best way. Kitesurfers craving comfort and wild spots will be thrilled, and lovers of high luxury yearning for a touch of adventure will be, too. The food is fresh, organic, and crafted by a talented chef, and the evening desserts—exquisite house-made pastries—were a highlight. The team even grilled the sea bream and meagre my fiancé caught. 😋 Excellent value for money.
★★★★★ – “Kitesurf inoubliable”
“Brahim est un instructeur hors pair. Grâce à lui, j’ai enfin réussi mes premiers sauts. Le matériel était impeccable et la sécurité parfaite. Après les sessions, un hammam traditionnel orchestré par l’équipe nous a permis de récupérer pleinement.”
– Tom | Londres, mai 2025
★★★★☆ – “Une gastronomie authentique”
“La cuisine de Rachida est incroyable : poissons frais, légumes du jardin, tout était bio et savoureux. Bakayoko et Fofana se sont montrés aux petits soins pendant tout notre séjour. Un seul regret : ne pas être restés plus longtemps.”
– Sophie | Genève, mars 2025
★★★★★ – Un séjour inoubliable
Un véritable havre de paix ! La suite face à la lagune était superbe, décorée avec goût et pleine de charme. Mention spéciale pour le spa et les massages à l’huile d’argan bio, une expérience de bien-être exceptionnelle.
— Sophie L. | Paris, mai 2025
"If you’re planning an unforgettable stay in Dakhla, book Palais Rhoul without a second thought. The décor, the atmosphere, and those lagoon views help you switch off and recharge in a true haven of peace. We especially loved the team’s enthusiasm and kindness—thank you for brightening our stay! And if you can, don’t miss the Thai massages."
★★★★★ – “Perfect balance of sport and relaxation”
“Kitesurfing here was an absolute dream. The lagoon is shallow, safe, and the wind consistent. After every session, we enjoyed the spa with its traditional hammam and massages with organic argan oil. A unique combination of adventure and well-being.”
– Robert | New York, May 2025
An exceptional oasis at Palais Rhoul, Dakhla.
My stay was nothing short of outstanding. What truly sets this luxury maison apart is its commitment to the environment, creating a unique, caring atmosphere. The restaurant works with fresh, local, organic produce for a dining experience that is both wholesome and delicious.
The rooms reflect the same ethos: durable materials and energy-efficient features minimize the carbon footprint without compromising comfort.
The team’s kindness toward my little family and their professionalism stood out—always available and genuinely welcoming.
Palais Rhoul offers far more than a luxury stay; it invites you to live an authentic experience where “organic” is not a trend but a way of life. If you’re seeking a place where the planet’s well-being matters as much as your own, this is the perfect destination for an exceptional eco-minded escape.
An Unforgettable Stay
My time at Palais Rhoul Dakhla was far more than a luxury escape; it was an experience lifted by genuine human warmth. From the moment I arrived, the team’s kindness and attentive care made the maison feel like a true home away from home. Service was swift, thoughtful, and always delivered with a sincere smile.
Our room was a haven of comfort, bathed in light and opening onto a sublime sea view. Perched in just the right spot, Palais Rhoul frames the ocean’s endless shimmer—an ever-changing backdrop from the terrace, by the pool, or in the quiet of the lounge.
If you dream of waking to breathtaking horizons over desert and sea, this is the address. And if you value kindness and professionalism as much as beauty, this is where a stay becomes exceptional.
Palais Rhoul Dakhla: an extraordinary experience—refined luxury, warm hospitality, and an ocean view that captivates at every moment. An oasis where desert meets sea. Unforgettable.
★★★★★ – A Haven of Peace
« The spa at Palais Rhoul in Dakhla is a true sanctuary. Each treatment is an immersive sensory journey, where the expertise of the staff blends perfectly with a soothing atmosphere.
