Terrou-Bi, Dakar, Senegal
Located along Dakar’s Corniche Ouest with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Terrou-Bi is a landmark seafront resort and a cultural anchor of the Senegalese capital. Founded in 1986 by Kalil Rahal and today led by the second and third generations of the Rahal family, Terrou-Bi is rooted in the spirit of teranga — Senegal’s tradition of generous, heartfelt hospitality. Long a meeting point for Dakar’s cultural, political, and creative life, the resort offers a full destination experience including ocean-facing restaurants and bars, a swimming pool, private beach, marina, casino, fitness center and cultural programming. As it enters a new chapter with the Terrou-Bi 2026 transformation which encompasses a large-scale architectural and design evolution. The expansion will increase the property from 166 to 266 rooms and suites, introduce a new business and cultural hub for the city, and reimagine public spaces, dining concepts, and wellness experiences, the resort continues to play a central role in positioning Dakar as a confident, contemporary cultural capital in West Africa.
