Dakosta Eco Retreat

Experience the Bijagós with Soul

In the heart of the idyllic Bijagós Archipelago, DaKosta Eco Retreat was born — a haven designed for those seeking reconnection, tranquillity and authenticity. More than just a hotel, we are a space for experiences, where comfort meets sustainability, and every detail is carefully integrated into the natural environment that surrounds us.

Here, time slows down, the senses awaken, and life happens at its natural pace. From the sound of birds to the scent of the forest, from organic architecture to untouched landscapes, everything invites you to be fully present, to rest deeply, and to discover your inner self.

We offer a comfortable and genuine stay, with eco-friendly bungalows built with local materials, designed to provide well-being without compromising environmental balance. Home-cooked meals value fresh, local ingredients, celebrating the traditional cuisine of Guinea-Bissau with simplicity and flavour.

We value the essentials: the silence that calms, the view that inspires, the food that nourishes. We work with sustainable practices, solar energy, conscious water management and partnerships with the local community. Our commitment is to offer a stay that transforms — even in small ways — the way we relate to the world.

Dakosta Eco Retreat — Where time slows down, nature speaks, and the heart listens.

Our philosophy is simple: less rush, more presence.
