Browse our curated collection of hotels in Gambia. Find the perfect place for your stay.
The Gambia's hotel scene centres on the Atlantic coast between Bakau and Brufut, where a strip of purpose-built resorts caters to sun-seeking visitors from October through April. The Senegambia Strip in Kololi is the main tourist hub — hotels here put you within walking distance of restaurants, craft markets, and nightlife. Expect pool complexes, buffet dining, and entertainment programmes designed for package holidaymakers.
For something quieter, Sanyang and Kartong on the southern coast have smaller, owner-run hotels with direct beach access and fewer crowds. Upcountry lodges along the River Gambia — in Janjanbureh and near Tendaba — are basic but atmospheric, and essential for serious birdwatchers. The dry season (November to May) is peak time; prices drop significantly during the June–October rains, though some coastal hotels close entirely. Air conditioning is standard in tourist-grade hotels, but check for reliable generator backup during power cuts.
