Sandele Bay Eco-Retreat in The Gambia has been included in The Guardian’s Green Travel List as one of the “Small places to stay: worldwide”. The list was featured in the paper on Saturday 20th February along with 16 other lodges, camps and small hotels which have been selected as the greenest places to stay.
The Guardian’s Richard Hammond describes Sandele as:
“Winner of the 2009 Guardian and Observer Ethical Travel Award, Sandele is the vision of two Brits who have built 10 eco-friendly forest cabanas next to a three-mile sandy beach, as well as 20 guest rooms for a charity that runs environmental courses. Renewable energy pumps a water well, and the long-term plan is that, after 25 years, the land will revert to the village.”
