Why People Love It
- It was the only place to sleep at a Tomorrowland festival year-round
- Massive pool parties in the middle of the desert
- Glamping tents that looked great on Instagram
Quick Take: A defunct desert party oasis that has officially shut its doors as of early 2026.
Reviewed by @daniella_carlyle: I spent the weekend here and it’s honestly a vibe. The pool area feels like a permanent festival, but my tent was surprisingly cozy. Waking up to just sand dunes outside my window was surreal. Definitely bring your best swimwear!
