World Kitesurfing Champion to Open Luxury Surf Hotel in Dakhla, Morocco
Former world kitesurfing champion Soufiane Hamaini plans to build a 4-star hotel in Dakhla. Called Waimae Bay (after a famous surf beach in Tahiti), this complex should be inaugurated in 2023.
The project will be financed equally between the native of Essaouira and a well-known businessman from the Dakhla region, Rachid Tanani, reports Challenge, specifying that it will require a budget of more than 40 million dirhams.
The hotel complex will first be equipped with a surf camp offering high-end accommodation and quality catering, adds the same source.
To recall, Soufiane Hamaini won the world kitesurfing championship title in 2008 in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, France. The athlete is still active and follows his training between Essaouira, Dakhla and Tarifa in Spain, and continues to follow the world kitesurfing circuit with all the stages, particularly in Brazil, France, Greece, Italy and of course Essaouira in Morocco.
