Apartment stays in The Gambia work particularly well for travellers staying a week or more. The coastal towns of Kololi, Kotu, and Fajara have growing numbers of serviced apartments, many run by European expats who've settled in the country. A kitchen means you can shop at Serekunda Market or the smaller Kololi market for fresh barracuda, mangoes, and groundnuts — cooking becomes part of the experience.
Prices are remarkably affordable compared to European standards. A one-bedroom apartment with air conditioning near the beach runs 1,500–3,000 Dalasi per night (roughly £15–30), even in high season. Two-bedroom units with pools are available from 3,000 Dalasi. Most include a guard and grounds maintenance. Water pressure and electricity can be intermittent, so check for on-site water tanks and generators before booking.
