Certified Eco-Lodge in Dakhla — Commitments & Proof
At Palais Rhoul Spa Dakhla, sustainability is not a slogan but a daily operating system.
Between lagoon and desert, our house combines conscious luxury with measurable actions: efficient energy, responsible water use, zero single-use plastic, short supply chains and a tangible social impact in Dakhla.

Energy
We prioritize low consumption first (LED, sensors, natural ventilation design), then clean production and smart management. Equipment is inspected seasonally and idle-mode settings reduce nighttime loads without affecting comfort.
Water
Desert ecosystems are fragile. We minimize withdrawals through aerators, efficient showers, garden mulching and low-flow irrigation. Linen and towels are changed only on request; every room explains the program in clear terms.
Waste
From purchasing to plate, we cut waste at the source: bulk amenities, returnable containers, zero single-use plastics, kitchen yield tracking and composting of organics. Recyclables are sorted and routed to approved local streams.
Responsible sourcing
Our menus are built on proximity: vegetables from the on-site greenhouses, fish and seafood from our own boat, and Moroccan ingredients selected for quality and traceability. Housekeeping and spa use biodegradable, certified products.
Community & culture
We choose local first—craftsmen, suppliers and staff from the region—while supporting training and fair, stable employment. Decorative pieces are made in Morocco, preserving skills and value chains.
Biodiversity & the lagoon
Guides brief guests on protected areas, tides and respectful practices (no wildlife disturbance, no litter, marked paths only). Excursions are planned around seasonal sensitivity.
Transparency & metrics
Sustainability lives in numbers. We track energy, water, waste and responsible purchases monthly; a yearly digest is available to guests and partners on request.
