Club Med Cap Skirring

Club Med Cap Skirring is the all-inclusive end of the Casamance market: a sprawling four-star resort wrapped around a four-kilometre arc of Atlantic beach. The package covers just about everything — sailing, windsurfing and other watersports, a nine-hole golf course, kids' and teens' clubs, a circus school and nightly entertainment — so once you arrive your wallet can stay in the safe. Alongside the activities there's a spa, pools, air conditioning and direct access to one of Senegal's best beaches. What makes it unusually easy to reach is the direct charter flights from Paris and Brussels, which let you skip the long overland journey from Dakar or the Ziguinchor ferry entirely. It's aimed squarely at families and couples who want a self-contained, do-as-much-or-as-little-as-you-like beach week, with the Casamance's green, laid-back coast on the doorstep.
