Dune Signature Launches a Hotel Residence in Senegal
Dubai-based real estate developer Dune Signature is formalizing its entry into the West African market with Atlantis, a luxury hotel residence located between Ngaparou and Saly on Senegal's Petite Côte. The project, conducted in partnership with MGS Construction, represents a new approach to real estate development on the Senegalese coast: a product designed to international standards, signature architecture, and a decidedly premium positioning.

A Strategic Partnership Between Dubai and the Petite Côte
The operation brings together two complementary profiles. On one side, Vianney Merian, president of Dune Signature, a French entrepreneur based in Dubai and founder of a group focused on luxury real estate development in authentic coastal destinations. On the other, Youssou Samb, president of MGS Construction and an established figure in the construction sector in Senegal, who brings his on-the-ground expertise, operational know-how, and execution network.
“Senegal today offers unique conditions to foster a new generation of premium addresses: an exceptional natural setting, recognized stability, and an international demand that is now seeking authentic destinations more than known ones,” explains Vianney Merian. “With Youssou Samb, we have found the rare balance between international vision and local roots. This is what allows us to deliver a signature to Dubai standards.”
Atlantis: Three Typologies on the Petite Côte
The project, named Atlantis, is located on the Petite Côte, between Ngaparou and Saly—one of the country's most sought-after areas, in close proximity to the new Blaise Diagne International Airport.
The residence will feature three types of accommodations designed as a progressive upgrade: compact and bright Studios, more spacious Suites suited for extended stays, and Signature Suites, exceptional products positioned at the top of the offering. This segmentation allows Atlantis to cater to various types of travelers and residents, from short stays to premium family stays.
Delivery is scheduled for December 2027, with construction set to begin in May 2026. The architecture, entrusted to an American architect, offers a contemporary interpretation of West African coastal housing codes: clean lines, high-quality materials, landscape integration, and orientation designed to optimize natural ventilation and the connection to the landscape.
A Signature, A Vision
Beyond the project itself, Atlantis lays the cornerstone of a brand. Dune Signature aims to become a benchmark in the coastal luxury segment, recognizable for its architectural rigor, attention to detail, and ability to reveal still-preserved destinations.
“We are not building to sell quickly. We are building to create a brand that, in ten years, will be the standard of coastal luxury in authentic destinations,” concludes Vianney Merian.
