From Abidjan · Côte d'Ivoire

Abidjan to Cotonou.

Same currency, no visa, and a short flight: Cotonou is a natural business and weekend destination from Abidjan, and far less crowded than people assume.

The journey

A nonstop flight every day with Air Côte d'Ivoire, about 1 h 30, plus Air Sénégal and Corsair several times a week. Cadjèhoun international airport is in town: fifteen minutes from our addresses, not an hour of road as elsewhere.

The visa

ECOWAS citizens: no visa for Benin. Other nationalities apply for the electronic visa.

The money

CFA franc on both sides. Published rates are what you settle, by Mobile Money, card or transfer.

Hotel or furnished home?

Assignments, conferences, stays of several weeks: our monthly rates are built for that, and the welcome happens on site, whatever time you land.

Common questions

Can you stay long-term in Cotonou for an assignment?
Yes. Every address publishes a monthly rate, well below the nightly price multiplied out. Beyond fourteen nights, booking goes through the concierge so the right package applies.
