Cap Skirring

Hidden gem in Casamance

Situated to the far south of Senegal, the legendary Cap Skirring Resort is shrouded by coconut trees. The golden sandy beach, the lush vegetation, the flowering bougainvillea and the thatched roofs give it a unique feel. The Diola culture, the fishermen, the mangrove, the lively surrounding villages...the area's nature and culture will whisk you away for a complete change of scenery. Wake up to the gentle sounds of the ocean, hop on a traditional pirogue to cruise the bolongs, and then unwind with a dip in the pool. Enjoy grilled fish on the terrace of the speciality restaurant, which discreetly blends in with the filaos forest. Cap Skirring is a paradise for adventurous souls seeking authentic experiences in a resort where comfort, elegance and local culture combine.

Booking
All the services available are at extra cost. We advise you to pre-book these services, so as not to be disappointed. They may also be purchased on site at the start of your holiday. The majority of our Spa packages are designed for men and women (expectant mothers or mothers with a baby less than 3 months old or who are breast feeding are not advised to take Spa treatments). If in doubt, please consult us. A Spa package is not transferable and must be done by the person who purchased it. The treatments may not be modified or replaced by the client.
Terms & Conditions
 When you pre-book your Spa package you're guaranteed of doing the treatments of your choice, but the timing of your treatment sessions will be decided with the Spa hostesses on site. So you must go to the Spa reception on arrival at the Resort to finalise your schedule. Please arrive for your treatment 15 minutes before the appointment.  You will be asked to complete a confidential questionnaire before doing your Spa treatments or package, in order to ensure that you are fit to receive your chosen treatment.  Treatments (à la carte or as part of a Spa package) cancelled during the client’s stay without a medical justification, and changes in timing made less than 24 hours in advance, cannot be taken into account; the said treatments may not be replaced or refunded. For your safety, non-slip sandals (on loan at the Spa reception) must beworn at all time in the Spa.  The bathrobe and towel loaned (against a deposit) for Spa treatments may be used within the Spa premises only.  Club Med reserves the right to change, cancel or postpone its Spa programmes.
