About us

Behind this place are three people who care.

Farid

The artist

Farid arrived in Dakhla in 2005. With great creativity and an eye for detail, he transformed this old farm into a living work of art. Every sculpture, painting, and decorative element was created by his own hands. His calm, positive, and welcoming nature creates a special atmosphere that makes every guest feel at home.

The kitesurfer

I arrived in Dakhla in 2017. Since 2008 I’ve been kitesurfing and teaching in many countries around the world. The incredible variety of spots and the constant wind made me fall in love with this place. Since 2025, we also offer land sailing.

Karima

The cook

Karima is from Dakhla. With her warmth and lovingly prepared traditional Moroccan dishes, she makes every guest feel like part of the family.

Aïcha is our assistant. Always on hand to make your stay run smoothly, with a warm smile and an eye for the little details.

The residents

The farm’s other locals — who, technically, run the place.

Mimi

The real boss

Mimi is the real boss here. He grew up in this house and kindly allows us to live here. Typical cat: he owns the place, we’re just the staff. As long as we pet him on time and don’t touch his favorite spots, everything is fine.

The donkeys

Asina and Asino are our two donkeys, the most relaxed residents on the farm. A friendly “Hee-haw” and a carrot will instantly make them your best friends.

The dog

Roxi is the farm’s newest arrival. Always up for a wander in the garden or a nap in the sun, she greets every guest with a wagging tail — and will happily walk you all the way to the gate if you let her.
