Between the Atlantic light and Saharan dunes, Happy Detox is the Palais Rhoul Dakhla’s signature wellness reset: a gentle, human-scale retreat designed to cleanse the body, quiet the mind and restore balance. Over 3 to 7 days you alternate sunrise yoga on our private beach, 100% plant-based nutrition and deeply regenerating spa rituals in a luxury hotel by the water.
Each morning opens with Vinyasa or Yin (all levels) as the sun rises over the lagoon — steady breath, mobility, long stretches. Afterwards: a fresh green juice from our desert greenhouses, then a day paced by detox meals: hot soups, mineral broths, herbal infusions and whole foods, raw & cooked, exclusively plant-based. No added sugar, no ultra-processed products, no animal protein
— the aim is digestive rest with dense, clean nutrition.
