    Strongly recommend for surfers on every level. If you are looking for a camp with a lovely community vibe, located directly on a beuatiful beach, this spot is definitely for you. It was a great experience to stay there for two weeks. I dream to come back soon!

    If you're into surfing this is the place to be in dakar. You'll be instantly part of the malika family and meet a lot of locals here. We had a lovely stay and learned how to surf at plage BCEAU.

    Amazing vibes, the best surf instructors and super fiendly staff. Yoff beach is a great surfing spot, also located in a lively and authentic neighborhood in Dakar. We had loads of waves every day! 100% recommended!

    The perfect place to surf, eat delicious food, enjoy the beautiful beach and experience a little of local Senegalese life. A great hostel with friendly and helpful staff and a lovely community vibe.

  • 2/5 Fred 8 years ago on Google
    The staff is very friendly but the instructors didn't have many tips and weren't the most helpful.

    I stayed there approximartely one week. It was a great experience. You will for sure enjoy your time there. The staff is cool. There is a great atmosphere on the camp. Surf coach are nice. I am a beginner and make great progress there. For beginners, there are no lack of waves and for other they often take the car and go to great surf spots. Materiel is good and available any time! At the camp, it is really friendly and full of life. With kids, coachs and others, there are always people overthere. Everybody eat breakfast and dinner together on a big table at the camp. It s nice. There is also a great place on the roof top. Perfect to chill an drink a beer. Rooms are not luxus but everything is clean and comfortable.

    very beautiful surfhouse with attention to the smallest details, located in front of yoff beach and super convenient for any trip even in the city, the staff and the volunteer boys of the house were nice and available for any of my needs. Marta and her family who run the surfhouse are always ready to solve your problems with a smile or give you useful advice! the surf program and availability of boards is good and you will have no difficulty finding what you are looking for to ride your waves.

    Very nice surf camp, directly at Yoff beach. I slept in the dorm which was basic but totally fine if you don't have super high standards. Breakfast and dinner (a chef is cooking local dishes) is included. The owners Marta and Aziz are super friendly and take care of everything. The local surf coaches are also super nice guys and help you during the classes which take place at one of the different surf spots in the area. Depending on the conditions, we drove to one of the spots, so you'll get to experience different spots which I thought was very cool. The camp has all kind of rental boards in different sizes, the equipment quality is very good. If you want to surf in Senegal I can only recommend Malika Surf Camp.

    It was such a great experience! It was the first time I did surfing and was everything amazing. Very good staff good people, good meals awesome space at the share bedroom with amazing views and nice waves. If I come back to Senegal I will repeat it!

    Amazing surf teachers that made the camp experience so great, they are super friendly, helpful and fun company. They really helped me to improve my surf and always answered any questions. The camp is in a fantastic spot, on the beach, close to restaurants, café's and a bar. I recommend either the restaurant opposite the camp or the fish 'restaurant' on the beach closest to the camp. The camp is run down and needs a bit of work to improve it but overall the experience at camp was great thanks to the other guests and as I already said, the surf staff.

  • 1/5 Blanca M. 1 year ago on Google
    Surf might be great I don't know but customer service at the bar is terrible, slow, bad cold pasta with tomate sauce, not bolognesa as they said, bad manners when we complained about it. Local restaurants at the beach are much, much better, friendly, cheaper and delicious

    I had an amazing time surfing with Malika surf. I spent 6 days surfing with them. The team is fantastic and really made me feel welcome. The lessons were good and they brought me to several different surf spots. If you are in Dakar, definitely check them out for some surfing.

    Awesome base to go surf and explore the city of Dakar! Located right next to Yoff beach, this calm and relaxed community-style surf camp stands out with cute low budget accomodation possibilities combined with daily surf trips to the most rewarding surf spots around Dakar. The camp is run by Marta and Aziz, an Italian-Senegalese couple, who have been doing an amazing job in organizing the surf trips (usually two surf sessions per day), driving us around the crazy Dakar traffic and giving helpful advice on any culture, travel or health related questions... And on top of all that they find the time to coach a whole bunch of local kids how to surf and how to rip (some of them competing internationally!). Everyday we were welcomed with big smiles and an open ear. The surf camp includes half-board, which gives you even more time to enjoy the holidays.... while the breakfast is being prepared you can do yoga on the roof top terrace or melt in with the many locals running on Yoff beach, dinner's always been a delicious exploration into the Senegalese kitchen (and the one or two exceptional pasta days were equally celebrated ;-)). All in all a great experience and a great immersion into Dakar surf culture, big thanks!!

👍👍 This year, my wife and I stayed at the hotel, and enjoyed ourselves. Breakfast is complimentary. We also walked about 2.5km to the Bay of Mermoz and swam. We like the hotel staff. They were helpful. They have remodeled since the last time I stayed here. Thank you to all of them!
