Villa Ipomée and its waterfront tropical garden on Ngor Island

Ipomea; an artist's house facing the ocean in Ngor, with a tropical garden and direct access to the sea.
Located by the ocean, facing the bay of Dakar and a few steps from the village of Ngor, this house is a true haven of peace where nature, architecture and light meet.

The living spaces have been designed to take full advantage of the outdoors: a large shaded terrace with colourful mosaics hosts meals facing the sea, while several seating areas in the garden allow you to relax, read or share a moment with friends.

Renowned throughout the world for its famous surf spot immortalised in the film Endless Summer, the island of Ngor has long attracted travellers, artists and lovers of waves.
Installed on a 600 m² plot of land facing south facing the bay, the house opens wide onto the sea and naturally invites relaxation and contemplation.

The house has direct access to a small beach and a natural seawater swimming pool, punctuated by the tides.

To facilitate your stay:
• Oumar, the concierge of the house, takes care of the reception, boat trips, garden and organization of the stay
• Ndeye, the housekeeper, takes care of the maintenance of the house every day

A house inspired by African art

The Yellow House is also an ode to color and contemporary African art.
Its architecture and decoration are inspired by the colorful facades of Dakar, painted canoes from the village, wax fabrics and works by Senegalese artists.
Each piece dialogues with the environment: the blue of the ocean, the yellow of the sun, the pinks and purples of the bougainvillea and the tropical greens of the garden. Colour here becomes a language and a celebration of African artistic vitality.
