A massage in Cap Skirring extends the beach without really leaving it: a salon, four options from 30 minutes to 1 hour, and time to rest your body after days by the sea. Relaxing massage, back massage, full body with shiatsu or reflexology, priced per person.

Four options, from 30 minutes to 1 hour

The choice comes down to four sessions:

• Relaxing massage (30 min): the short version, for a break between two swims or before dinner.
• Back massage (45 min): for the shoulders, neck and back, after carrying a bag or spending time in a pirogue or a car.
• Reflexology (45 min): targeted work on the feet, to unwind after a day of walking.
• Full-body massage with shiatsu (1 h): the longest session, for general release.

Sessions take place indoors, at a salon in Cap Skirring.

A break for holidaymakers and residents alike

Cap Skirring is known for its white-sand beach and its coconut palms, but it is not just a postcard: a massage adds a calmer dimension to your stay. If you are travelling in the Casamance, a 30- or 45-minute session slips easily into a beach day. If you live in the Casamance, it is an appointment you can have without leaving the region.

Allow some extra time to settle in so your session is not cut short: after a day at the beach, a quick shower before the massage makes the treatment more pleasant, especially for a full-body massage. Just tell the practitioner about any pain or sensitive area so the movements can be adapted.

Cap Skirring, between beach and Casamance

The session takes place in Cap Skirring, the beach resort of the Casamance, a green, humid region woven with rice paddies, forests and bolons (tidal creeks).

Around the Cape

After the massage, the beach remains the main activity, and other outings extend your stay: an island excursion in the region, a detour to Oussouye, or a pedicure and a facial to complete the relaxation.
