Looking for a holiday with all the trimmings? Our all inclusive holidays to The Gambia are there to make sure your trip is as memorable and care-free as you always imagined…

Why choose an all-inclusive holiday to The Gambia?

All-inclusive holidays are completely stress-free. They take the effort out of deciding where you want to eat each night and make your comfort and relaxation a high priority. They’re also a great option if you’re on a budget and want to make sure you don’t overspend.

Remember though, you’re not tied to your hotel — however lovely it might be! Many of The Gambia’s beach bars and restaurants are very reasonably priced, giving you the option to sample the local food and drink outside of your hotel while also keeping within your budget.

A note from us…


As the UK’s destination specialist for holidays to The Gambia, it’s important to us that we provide holidays to suit everyone, no matter what your preference or budget.

While we recognise that some may have concerns about the impact of all-inclusive hotels on local economies, unlike other destinations where tourists rarely venture outside of their resort, we fully expect and encourage our guests to explore all The Gambia offers. 

Our all-inclusive hotels’ locations mean you don’t have to go far to explore craft markets, fabulous beaches and local restaurants. We also always provide information about the local area on our hotel pages, so you can easily see some of the different things you can do away from your hotel; also a Gambia guidebook is sent to all our package holidaymakers, with discount vouchers for use in local restaurants.
