SENEGAL | Patrick's Lodge
By Charlotte Burgoyne,
The wind is blowing. The palm trees are dancing. I would love to stare at them still, rocked by the sound of the waves. Where could I go? As I trying to find an answer, I come across the most amazing concept. I almost can't believe it. Halfway between a resort and a house for rent; the Patrick's Lodge on the coast of Senegal is everything I could ever dream of. On the property, you will find rooms split in several houses, two dormitories for kids, a pool, a private beach, kids activities and 14 people to pamper you and your every need. No need to think about making meals, or keeping the kids busy. They will have the best time of their life (just like you!) in the amazing play area (for the young ones) , or discovering the region for the older kids.
Every details has been really well thought of in this lodge. The minimalist, locally sourced decor is marvelous; the kids playground in particular is mind-blowing. The other main advantage of the Patrick's Lodge is that it can accommodate large groups of friends or simply your family. You can choose to only rent one house or room of the property, as if you were in a hotel (with the added value of having a really personal dedicated care.)
I don't know about you, but we are really close to book a flight to Dakar...If we are lucky we'll meet up in this uber cool refuge for happy tribes.
