Five-Star Hotels in Dakar

Words can’t adequately describe how wonderfully warmly we were received at Villa Keur Bibou. A beautiful house filled with tribal art and curiosities, a private boat to ferry you back and forth whenever you desire, expert local knowledge at your fingertips, a ride from the airport, all this organised without charge or fuss. Not to mention the surprise jacuzzi and aperitif, the warm and lovely staff who think of everything, are always nearby when you need them and completely invisible otherwise, and should you be lucky enough to meet Michel himself, well he’ll make you feel like you’re a visiting dignitary. I’ve travelled extensively, both with and without my family, and cannot recommend a stay here highly enough. They really care that you are comfortable, have everything you need or could want, and bend over backwards to make your stay perfect. 12 out of 10. Also worth mentioning that if you’re new to Dakar or Senegal the Île de Ngor is a great place to begin your stay. Removed from the hustle and bustle it packs in a lot of interest for its small size.

The property is beautiful and relaxing. The owner Michel was so kind and even gave us a lovely cheese plate. The staff is also very kind and helpful and the grounds lovely

Everything! There’s only one place to stay when you’re in Dakar, and it’s here ✨

Everything went really well—from the airport shuttle pick up and drop off to the comfort of my room. The staff was lovely throughout; they were super friendly and always had a smile on their faces. I was here for three nights to get over a big jet lag, and this hotel worked out perfectly for that. It was clean and quiet; the bed was very comfortable. The shower had great hot water. About the location: I suggest people look at the map before booking to see if it suits their needs. The area is being newly developed, so indeed you’re far from the city. There’s a big conference center next door and an even bigger sports arena across the highway. That’s it. The hotel also serves flight crews and those visitors who wish to be near the airport. The hotel’s location doesn’t impact the hotel’s quality, which is very good. Breakfast had plenty of options and I appreciated the coffee, croissants, and juices they had out for an early am departure.

Everything was perfect location, the hospitality from the staff, especially Alli at the reception, the ambience and aesthetics, the view of the ocean from the rooms and restaurants is breathtaking, the infinity pool and the view of the ocean from the pool is amazing, the beach club just in front of the ocean, the food especially breakfast had a great variety. The hotel was very neat and clean and had all the amenities of a top star hotel they even brought us a gift on New year's eve. My stay at pullman was a major part of our overall experience in Dakar, which was awesome. I would definitely be coming back to stay. Bonus point - If you like walking or running, there is a scenic running route just behind the hotel
