Your home on the Petite Cote
A Gathering place
Our goal is to bring together locals and travelers alike to discover this little corner of Senegal together with mutual curiosity and respect.
Strategic location
45 minutes to the airport & 20 minutes to the highway, we are strategically located in the beachside town of La Somone
Cultural immersion
Concerts, drumming and dance lessons, workshops to build your own instrument. The possibilities are endless.
Nature everywhere
Our tree-filled property is home to countless birds. The nearby lagoon and salt flats are vast protected areas.
Unlimited Adventures
From day trips to Dakar to fishing excursions to kayaking through the mangroves, or biking right around them, we are always up for an adventure.
Unpretentious comfort
Our place is nothing fancy, but we can assure you that it’s clean and comfortable. We will always do our best to accommodate your needs.
Travel advice
We have been living and traveling in the region for quite some time. Nothing makes us happier than sitting down with a map and sharing what we know.

We are located in La Somone
Next to the ocean and far from the traffic jams of Dakar, La Somone is a convenient jumping off point for the wonderful Sine-Saloum region further south. But it’s much more than a stop off. There is so much to see and do in this little town.
Our GPS coordinates: 14.491347, -17.080880
The easiest way to get to us (if you are coming from the north/the airport) is by taking the A1 autoroute south to the Nguerine/Ngaparou/Somone exit.
All the things
A gorgeous stretch of beach, the lagoon with its mangroves and twisting creeks, water activities of all kinds, fresh fish and seafood, scooter rentals, salt flats and baobab studded countryside. Then there is the local market, the drummers and dancers, and countless artisans.
