The pool area is where you'll go to make the most of the warm African climate, boasting a circular bar right in the centre. Alternatively, a sand covered, man-made sunbathing area has been created beside the ocean, complete with sunloungers and parasols. This is reached via steep steps, and offers access to the beach at low tide. There’s also a massage room at African Village if you fancy a relaxing treatment.
African-style huts
The rooms are comfortable and simply furnished, ranging from traditional African round huts to larger rooms with stunning sea views, together creating a traditional Gambian village ambience. The compact, colourful gardens are well-kept, and little walkways weave amongst the guest rooms adding further to the property’s Gambian characteristics.
Dining with a view
The restaurant boasts a vibrant atmosphere in the evening, and has stunning sea views from its elevated position. If you wish to experience more of the local area, there are a number of local bars and restaurants close by, as well as a busy market.
This hotel is particularly popular for educational groups, as the location offers the opportunity to discover more about the Gambian way of life.
