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.
 

 


Our all inclusive holidays in The Gambia
 

Sunbeach Hotel  |  4 grade

The beachfront Sunbeach Hotel is one of our most popular all-inclusive properties in The Gambia, offering excellent value for money in the laid-back resort of Cape Point.

Enjoy delicious buffet meals in the Togali Restaurant, dining al fresco if you wish, and sip unlimited drinks by the pool, including cocktails, local beer and spirits. 

When not lounging by the pool, you can make the most of the hotel’s free activities. Try a water aerobics class, visit the beachside gym or challenge your family to a game of beach volleyball on the sand. For those who prefer to relax in peace, why not try the second quiet pool and bar area? And when evening comes, settle down to enjoy Sunbeach's evening entertainment, with live music and shows providing the perfect end to your day.

Outside of the hotel, there’s plenty to explore, including the must-visit Kachikally crocodile pool. Located in the heart of the small resort of Cape Point, the property offers easy access to a small selection of local bars, restaurants, small shops and craft stalls, as well as a taxi rank should you wish to explore further.
