A massage in Somone has a setting that others do not: a village bordered by the lagoon and preserved nature. Relaxing, traditional or toning, solo or as a duo, with natural oils, warm towels, treatments and spa included.

Three ways to be massaged

The session begins with a personal welcome to understand what you expect: muscle relaxation, a need for recovery, a wish for mental calm or simply a wellness break. You are then settled in an intimate space, on a comfortable table or massage mattress, in a soft, restful atmosphere.

• Relaxation massage: flowing movements, light pressure, delicately scented oils.
• Traditional massage: movements inspired by African methods, deep work on tension, gentle stretches.
• Toning massage: more dynamic pressure to restore vitality.

You choose the option at the start of the session. The pressure can be adjusted, and you only need to mention any sensitivity or area to avoid. The massages suit all profiles, including beginners.

What you need to know

Treatments, spa and towel are included. The oils are light, natural and non-irritating, lightly scented and non-staining, and the equipment is provided: nothing to bring. Arrive a few minutes before the session to settle in calmly. Duo massages are possible, depending on slots on site. A cold or hot drink may be offered at the end of the treatment.

If you live in Dakar and are spending a weekend on the Petite Côte, it is a time to disconnect in a natural setting. If you are visiting, it is the gentle way to close a day on the lagoon or the beach.

Somone, between ocean and lagoon

Somone, on the Petite Côte, is a peaceful village built around its estuary and its community nature reserve, more turned towards nature than towards nightlife. The relaxation can continue with a gentle walk near the lagoon.

After the massage

The Somone lagoon is explored on a pirogue ride or by birdwatching. For a longer break, a private beach day in Somone follows on well, or a pedicure on site.
