Wake up, stretch, and pad across the bedroom to your kitchen. You’ve got a busy day of exploring ahead, and you’ll face it best with a mug of piping hot coffee in your hand. Look out the window at the rising sun and take a deep breath.

This can be your life if you rent a villa in Dakar. Once upon a time, villas were huge Roman buildings owned by the wealthiest citizens. These days, you can still find palatial villas—but there’s smaller, cozier options to choose from as well.

What makes villas so special? First, they offer you and your travel group privacy and space. After a long day of exploring Dakar, a villa truly becomes your home away from home. Lay down in one of the bedrooms for a midday catnap, then make use of the fully stocked kitchen and craft a culinary masterpiece to serve up on the private patio. Your companions will be talking about it for years to come.

Do you want to really treat yourself during your time in Dakar? Go for it. Luxury villas will make you feel like a million bucks as you sip champagne on a balcony, or cozy up with your someone special and take in the classy artwork. Put that big marble tub to good use. The more fragrant bath salts, the merrier!
