Hôtel Mermoz

Senegal


With huts and bungalows spaced out in a large, sandy garden – all buildings are connected by meandering paths – this place oozes character. It offers a range of seaside excursions and sports: horse riding, catamaran hire or just whiling away an afternoon over ping pong or billiards.
