Hôtel BOMA Lifestyle Dakar
Bold tropical-boutique aesthetic. Garden-resort feel in an urban neighbourhood. Graphic interiors, festive weekend energy around the pool and restaurant, but genuinely quiet once you're inside your bungalow.
The pool is open to non-guests as a day pass (10,000 F weekday, 12,000 F weekend) — book in advance on busy weekends as it fills up.
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide-listed. One of very few Dakar hotels to operate bungalow-style accommodation in a proper garden setting. The on-site YouYou restaurant has built a genuine neighbourhood following, separating it from typical hotel dining rooms. Private plunge-pool suites are a rarity at this price point in West Africa.
BOMA is a 4-star boutique hotel in Ngor Almadies where 25 bungalows are scattered through a lush tropical garden right in the thick of Dakar. The interiors make a statement — oversized palm-leaf murals, exposed brick, bold graphics — while the courtyard pool and YouYou restaurant draw as many non-guests as guests on any given weekend. It's the rare Dakar property that doesn't feel like a business hotel dressed up with cushions.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Bungalow Suite
The top accommodation at BOMA. Up to 54 square meters with its own private garden and pool — the biggest and most private footprint on the property. Bold graphic interiors with the signature BOMA look: exposed materials, oversized murals, strong design sensibility. The kind of room that justifies a longer stay.
54 sqmJunior Suite with Private Pool
A suite with a separate living room and bedroom, plus its own private plunge pool. Exposed brick walls, bold graphic interiors, and direct garden access. Guests who've stayed here consistently call it worth the premium — the private pool is a real differentiator at this price point in Dakar.
King + Sofa Bed · 55 sqm
Superior Double Room
A bungalow-style room opening directly onto the tropical garden. Air-conditioned with a private entrance, terrace with garden views, and a well-appointed bathroom with rainfall shower. Feels surprisingly spacious given the garden orientation — natural light and greenery make it calm rather than cramped.
