Description

Tama Lodge offers accommodations in Senegal.

In the center of Senegal’s “Petite Côte” (the Small Coast), in the middle of Mbour’s fishing port and the seaside resort of Saly, the Tama Lodge maintains authenticity.

The cabins are made of local materials, built on the sand of one of most beautiful beaches in the country, in a nest of greenery. In every one of the nine rooms, inspired from colours of Africa, with simplicity and elegance, you will find pieces of traditional handcraft: Kuba fabric from Congo, bed covers made of Mali’s bogolan, Touareg tent stakes, mortars and pestles… The whole lodge is full of charms of Africa, and offers, in its original setting, an exotic, mild and relaxing break.

Let yourself be lulled by the sound of the waves on the beach, the coconut tree leaves’ whisper swinging to the soft coast breeze. The Tama Lodge, an artwork created by its owner, is a rare jewel, a beached pearl on Senegal’s sand.

The Lodge’s 9 rooms are distributed on the property, with 8 traditional cabins stood on sand, 4 of them on the waterfront, 3 in the garden, and the imposing Chief’s cabin, full- rounded with its 8m (5 feet) diameter length, its terrace facing the ocean, and its two bathrooms made of Tadelakt. In the Malian building, the sumptuous Royal Room, with its 80 m² (50 sq feet), the bedroom and the living room open on a large terrace with a diving view on the coconut trees and the beach.

All rooms are made of traditional and natural materials: wood, daub, straw and Tadelakt. Beds are chiselled into tree trunks, curtains are sewn in kuba fabric from Congo. The splendid Touareg camel leather and straw carpets were bought in Mauritania, the bed covers are made of Malian bogolan, the genuine lamps are made of Touareg tent sticks and antique calabashes…

The hotel will enchant nature, Africa and traditional fine art lovers. People interested in beautiful things will appreciate the quality furniture and decoration. In Tama Lodge we know how to make simplicity, elegance, authenticity and comfort a good match, inviting you to a journey out of time, in a refined, friendly and casual atmosphere.
