Local, filtered (sulfured) water is used for the bathrooms (which can be good for the skin but not drinkable).

Our Opinion
The best all round multisport centre on the lagoon offering windsurfing, kitesurfing and other multi sport packages. We love the delicious, fresh full board food and bar at sunset for apres-surf drink. An amazing desert camp experience, without missing out on the comforts, not to be missed.
