Recommended Hotels

 

Planning your wedding

The Gambia is a fantastic choice for a relaxed wedding and offers excellent value for money, enabling you and your guests to experience an unforgettable day without the expense of a wedding in the UK or other destinations abroad. That said, there are some incredible luxurious hotels and excellent facilities so if you do have a large budget it will go a long way in The Gambia.

We have the know-how...

In The Gambia you could take your vows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the luxurious Coco Ocean Resort & Spa, hire the boutique Ngala Lodge exclusively for your wedding party, or honeymoon in a floating lodge at Mandina or on a wildlife reserve in neighbouring Senegal.

Floating Lodge - Mandina

Sleep in a four-poster bed in a lodge floating on the river in the heart of the African bush. Wake up to the sound of the dawn chorus, the baboons playing in the forest and in the evening dine under the breathtaking night sky...

Beach House - Coco Ocean

Luxuriate in your private beach house; relax in the spa, having a massage while gazing out across the ocean; dine on à la carte cuisine, including sushi and Thai - all in beautiful surroundings mere steps from a glorious stretch of golden sands...

Never thought that The Gambia would have answered all our wishes. We celebrated our Golden wedding here and can’t wait to return.
