A remote and extraordinary stay in this middle-of-nowhere oasis

What once started as a pop-up hotel in Tulum, the Habitas group is now emerging as one of the trailblazing players in hospitality with a focus on thoughtful explorations and immersive experiences.

This year, the Habitas hotel group launches another spectacular addition in Morocco with Caravan Dakhla. A two-hour flight from Casablanca, this middle-of-nowhere oasis redefines the hospitality industry, delivering unique stays powered by a pioneering spirit for community and adventure.

THE STAY

Sustainability is one of Habitas’ brand pillars. In keeping with this commitment, it took over an existing hotel and revamped it with a design that echoes Dakhla’s desert environment. The interiors are accented with hand-picked decor crafted by local artisans offering a taste of Moroccan tradition. The riad-style rooms, villas and lodges deliver breathtaking views of endless dunes and lagoons and peaks of the High Atlas mountains and feature outdoor showers and spacious areas to lounge and rest in between adventures, nomad style.

THE DINING

Levante offers an indoor and outdoor culinary experience that bridges the rich histories of Latin American and Moroccan cuisines. In keeping with the Habitas ethos, Levante serves up savoury dishes made from locally sourced ingredients and fresh seafood from the surrounding region and villages. A must try? Lagoon Oysters served with artichoke bechamel sauce.

THE HERO EXPERIENCE

The surrounding raw beauty of nature takes centrestage at Caravan Dakhla. A region known as a kitesurfing spot for its unique lagoon, crystal blue waters and consistent winds, days are easily characterised by roaming deserted wadis or taking up a chance to try something new such as kiteboarding or windsurfing.
