E13 · Résidence Natangué · Petite Côte
Stay at Blue Baobab
A one-bedroom apartment in Saly where the light is long, the pool is quiet, and you are welcomed the Senegalese way.
Découvrir Saly - The Palace
Ninety minutes south of Dakar, the Petite Côte unrolls into a long ribbon of warm sand, fishing pirogues and mango trees.
Mornings here are for the beach before the heat arrives. Afternoons belong to the pool and the shade of the residence garden. Evenings are grilled thiof at a terrace two streets away, then a sunset that turns the whole ocean copper.
Saly is a resort town that never stopped being a Senegalese one. The market still runs on bargaining and laughter. That is the version we want you to meet.
Saly moves at the speed of the tide
La fabrication Four Stages, All by Hand
How a nut becomes butter
01
Gathering
Fruit is collected from the ground after it falls — never picked. The pulp is removed and the nut kept.
02
Drying & cracking
Nuts dry in the sun for days, then are cracked open by hand to release the kernel inside.
03
Roasting & grinding
Kernels are roasted over wood fire and ground to a dark paste. This is where the scent comes from.
04
Churning
The paste is kneaded with water until the butter separates and rises. It is skimmed, boiled, filtered, and left to set.
