Private beach days in Senegal
Looking to enjoy the ocean in complete tranquility? Private beach days in Senegal are the ideal way to combine relaxation, comfort, and serenity in preserved natural settings. Unlike the lively public beaches, private beaches offer a calmer, more intimate atmosphere: sun loungers, umbrellas, and on-site dining ensure a truly relaxing experience. In Dakar, many venues in the Almadies, Plateau, or Ngor neighborhoods allow you to spend the day by the sea, away from the city’s bustle. Along the Petite Côte (Saly, Somone, Ngaparou), beach clubs and landscaped spaces welcome families, couples, and groups of friends with personalized services.
The experience can be purely relaxation or combined with wellness activities such as sunrise yoga sessions, paddle outings, relaxing massages, or traditional meals facing the ocean.
Booking is simple and flexible: 20% deposit online, balance on site.
In Senegal, treating yourself to a private beach day means embracing the luxury of taking your time, listening to the waves, enjoying local hospitality, and capturing an unforgettable sunset.
