Hotels in Pointe Sarène

Desert-like landscapes, tropical jungles, idyllic beaches gigantic baobabs ... Senegal is a country of contrasts, a place where the landscapes, the sensuality of its music and the unprecedented beauty of its beaches remind us of the Caribbean. The county’s history and traditions and its friendly people will captivate you from the get-go.

Known as the “land of Teranga”, travelling to Africa means letting yourself get carried away among the savanna of baobabs and wild animals, admiring the great biodiversity. The Hotel Riu Baobab is undoubtedly a unique setting where you can enjoy an exotic holiday surrounded by nature.

Pointe Sarène: Wild nature and exotic beaches

On the west coast of the African continent set on a long beach with crystal-clear waters and stunning ocean views, we can find the Hotel Riu Baobab. It is located in a tourist area close to the city of M’bour in the region of Thiès, with an excellent connection to Blaise Diagne airport.

Pointe-Sarène is the ideal place to disconnect and relax on the white sand beaches and enjoy the beautiful landscapes surrounded by mangroves and baobabs, with more than 2,500 hectares of forest where we can find all the area’s main ecosystems: forest, savanna, fresh water, sea water and coastal.

The Hotel Riu Baobab is set in the middle of a desert-like landscape with authentic and wild surroundings, and offers all kinds of amenities and services so you can relax by the Atlantic and enjoy an all-inclusive holiday in the African savanna.

Food

Senegalese cuisine includes a large amount of local produce, with a number of dishes with influences from other countries such as France, Portugal and other North African countries. Meals are based on rice, millet or couscous with chicken or fish. What’s more, thanks to the county’s location you will be able to enjoy a large amount of seafood in its restaurants.

We recommend enjoying African flavours and trying some typical Senegalese dishes such as thiéboudienne (which is considered the national dish), yassa au poisson or maafe. You should order bassi-salté, a local couscous, to go with these meals.
