The best hotels Casamance

In the ecolodge spirit, the Esperanto camp consists of seven rooms, distributed in nicely furnished huts and a two-bedroom villa. The cuisine is also refined and of high quality. The estate of several hectares is located in the heart of a palm tree forest around a lake, constituting a real ornithological reserve. Moreover, ornithologistsknow Eric Bedouet's address well. On the other hand, no Internet here, we are here to disconnect from the outside world. Warm welcome from Eric and his wife. A real paradise!

The hotel's 34 rooms are comfortable and all have telephone, fridge-bar, cable TV and cable TV and are equipped with a few beautiful furniture and mattresses in the area. Clean. Free wifi. There is also a small swimming pool, a bar and a terrace restaurant where you can enjoy the famous lamb's ribs. In front of the hotel you can visit the sports complex, rue Escale, with gym and gym. You can massage it. There is only one way to go.

Located in the heart of the village, in a quiet alley, Le Balafon offers excellent value for money for the region. The finishes and comfort are remarkable, the welcome and service worthy of a grand hotel. Twenty spacious rooms, nestling in a magnificent garden planted with delicious scents, are tastefully decorated and well-equipped (air conditioning, private shower room, minibar, satellite TV, wifi and safe). To make up for the small kilometer that separates you from the beach: a superb swimming pool surrounded by greenery.

What a dreamy ecolodge! Lost at the end of a track, between cheesemakers and a wild beach, this luxury solar-powered camp features a variety of huts, each with its own whimsical architecture and ethno-chic décor, made from natural and recycled materials. It's an unexpected and poetic robinsonnade. We hesitate between the hut at the top of the dune, the round one, the one with its mezzanine... all are seductive, with several windows overlooking magnificent landscapes. A real favorite.

One of the best cheap establishments in town. The rooms are clean and charming, some have a small desk. The bathrooms have cold water (certainly) but... a balcony with a splendid view of the river! It is very often sold out, remember to book in advance, especially those rooms. Other rooms overlook a pleasant and green garden. The hotel has a bar-restaurant where you can enjoy delicious dishes at good prices in a peaceful setting. Canoe trips are also available.

Conveniently located in the center of town, Le Flamboyant offers good value for money. Equally suited to business travelers (high-speed WiFi) and tourists (patio pool). It also has a good restaurant. A quiet hotel out of sight, thanks to its two-storey arched structure. Rooms are nicely decorated and furnished, some with air-conditioning and hot water. Those around the pool are the least expensive, while higher-standard rooms are located on a second patio.

The Bretons friends will enjoy this pleasant camp, the feet in the sand, opened in 2016. The four chambers, three double and one triple, bear the names of the Breton islands: Beautiful island, Island of Groix, Ouessant… The boxes are clean and comfortable, decorated with marine objects that remind you of this sweet region. They were friends of Pornic who brought the owner, the decorations, back to Rama. There is even a Breton flag floating in the camp! Warm welcome and smiling of Rama, which is in the small care for its guests.

A small haven of freshness where you will find serenity, lulled by the song of the birds. From air-conditioned rooms to apartments, the accommodation is scattered in a vast exotic garden, beautifully flowered with bougainvilleas. The name of the hotel lives up to its promise! For more independence, prefer the T1 studio style apartments, which have a fully equipped kitchen and a private terrace. As for the T3 apartment, it will be perfect for families: it offers modern and optimal comfort in a pleasant environment.

The Fishermen's Villa, previously reserved for hook-ups, has opened its doors to other tourists, who benefit from its modern and good cheap and clean rooms, feet in the water (with private bathroom, smoking and Wifi). The hotel also has a lovely swimming pool and two restaurants with daily fishing in the centre, a real plan. Guests can also relax during a Club Med golf course, a 10-minute walk away. The hotel has a wine bar where you can test varieties from all over the world.

Catherine Touré's bed and breakfast, located close to the sea, will win you over with the hospitality of its hosts. Five simple, clean rooms, each with its own color and theme. The flower-filled garden is a pleasant place to rest or read one of the books available in the library. Catherine is a cordon bleu, cooking Senegalese or European dishes to order, before serving them on a communal table. Conviviality and excellent value for money.

Opened in 1994, this camp features a dozen charming, very clean hard-built rooms with indoor bathrooms, mosquito netting, ventilation and river views. It's definitely one of the best for sport fishing. Amath Mbaye, the owner, knows what he's talking about when it comes to fish. Rods, lines and souvenir photos of fishing trophies clutter the large reception room. The restaurant specializes in fish and seafood. We recommend it!

Simple huts on the edge of a superb beach, in the middle of nowhere. You can eat under the palm trees, and in the evening, sing around the campfire. You can "chill out" on hammocks in a postcard landscape. The camp was taken over by Joseph, Jean's brother from the Asseb camp, following the death of Augustin, who was also behind the ecopark project opened next door to the camp. The ecolodge has 12 en-suite rooms. Tours of the nature reserve and other activities are organized here.

Around a splendid cheese maker which acts as a bar, the restaurant, the swimming pool and the ten bungalow rooms of the lodge are organized. Each hut has been built using diola construction techniques and traditional materials, with a touch of bobo. Very original, even artistic, they are very comfortable. It is also necessary to taste the pizza of the Italian owner Giulio, "the best in West Africa", who is a master in this matter. A calm, restful and warm place, full of charm. To be discovered!

Nice, clean, very simple, low-cost huts with ventilation or air-conditioning, hot water and wifi, private terrace and beach view. Excursions can be organized. Lovely forest of wild palm trees on the way to the shore. Excellent welcome from Eugène Diatta and his family. The restaurant focuses on fish and seafood. Most of the vegetables served come from the camp's own vegetable garden. European-style breakfast. What more could you ask for than a game of pétanque?

Diédhiou and Ababacar, two brothers from a village near Bignona, welcome you in their camp orchestrated with a Senegalese style and discovery of its culture. The renovated huts are clean and well tiled, the others are not recommended... Even if the place is basic, it is conducive to rest and relaxation, in an authentic and friendly atmosphere. Its asset: its panoramic restaurant overlooking its pretty private beach, with its straw huts to rest in the shade. Possibility to take kess kess lessons.

Away from the centre, this motel will suit people looking for calm and serenity. Arranged around a garden planted with trees, the 12 ventilated rooms are spacious and comfortable with an interior bathroom. One room has been specially arranged on the ground floor to accommodate the disabled. On the top floor, the large terrace offers a magnificent view of the bolongs and the surrounding vegetation. Ideal for breakfast. Jacques, the owner, is also a friendly and smiling man who will share his joie de vivre with you!

Music above all. Surrounded by poètes, Francis manages his camp along with his circle of musicians, and what is happening is very special. What gives you the desire to stay or return (and you will not be the first). Approximately sleeps at built-in camp prices.

The owner, Malang Badji (if removed from all Diatta Casamance and Badji, it would not be longer high society), is artist- painter. Also sculptor. See its creations, exhibits and creates in camp. You will certainly be charmed by the colours of his works and the charm of the hotel. The restaurant is particularly welcoming. Solar energy and wind mill.
