Blue Bay Plage Le Lamantin ★★★★★

An hour’s drive south of the Senegalese capital, the modern and chic building of the Lamantin Beach Resort and Spa hides behind an impressive amount of luxury facilities on its private beach in Saly. Its spa includes a hydrotherapy swimming pool and a Hammam, where guests can also choose to get pampered in the traditional, oriental style, or with local Senegalese plant-based products. Like other quality resorts, the Lamantin also provides guests with state-of-the-art machines in its fitness centre. However, what makes the Lamantin different is its will to incorporate African culture into its activities for a change of scenery. From African cooking classes, to tam-tam classes, through to an African Arts Exhibition and a variety of shows throughout the year, the Lamantin treats its guests to unique experiences among the comforts of its facilities.

At the beach-end of the resort is the exclusive wooden building made up of 10 extravagant huts, each with their own terrace. Guests in these privileged rooms have direct access to the infinity swimming pool on the ocean and Jacuzzi, as well as to the beach and its 300 coconut trees.

Here, you are only steps away from your bed, to your private terrace, to the pool, through to the beach. The rooms themselves are designed as huts in thatched roofs, with wooden deckchairs and Balinese beds for comfort and authenticity.

If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Senegal in all its beauty, these huts are the perfect base to visit what this great country has to offer, whilst having the option to retreat to the serenity of a luxury pool and beach. So, what are you waiting for?
