Almost every guest asks us before a trip: what should we wear? The answer is simpler than you might think, but small details make a big difference to your comfort.
By day: light, pale and long
Choose loose cotton or linen clothes in pale colours that reflect the sun, with long sleeves and long trousers if you can; they protect you from both sun and sand. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are not a luxury but a must.
Feet: closed shoes or sports sandals
The sand is soft and hot at midday and cool early in the morning. Closed trainers are best, and strapped sports sandals work well too. Flip-flops sink and slip off easily, so leave them at the hotel.
After sunset: a warm layer
From November to March the temperature drops fast after sunset and can reach 14°C or less at the camp. Bring a light jacket or a scarf, and warm sleepwear for an overnight stay.
Quick list
- Sunscreen and lip balm
- Sunglasses and a hat
- A water bottle (we also keep cold water in the car)
- A charged phone and a cover to keep sand out
