Coucoue Lodge

Côte d'Ivoire


Colourful and wooden bungalows spill out on to acres of white sand at Coucoue Lodge, a sweet getaway spot. If lounging on the beach or in the luxury rooms doesn't cut it, you can slice through the ocean on jet skis, rent inflatables or play a round of golf.

The restaurant has a nice wine list, and there's a nightclub on-site (though from the villas, the music is drowned out by the sound of the waves).
