Since opening in December 2008, Coco Ocean Resort & Spa - occupying an elevated position on a beach in Bijilo - has attracted new clientele to The Gambia.
The 1800sq metre spa facility is an integral part of Coco Ocean Resort & Spa and is the first of its kind in The Gambia, its signature treatment being the Moroccan Hammam. The Mandina Lodges at Makasutu are set within a 1000-acre forest on a tributary of the River Gambia. Guests can choose from Floating, Stilted or Jungle Lodges and are allocated a complimentary personal guide, on hand to help them discover the bush on foot, observe wildlife and explore the river by pirogue.
Makasutu can be booked as a complete holiday, or as an add-on to a stay at a coastal hotel, and promises an experience of authentic Gambia. This winter, The Gambia Experience offers 7-nights bed & breakfast at the Coco Ocean Resort & Spa from ?996 per person and 7-nights half board at the Mandina Lodges at Makasutu from ?1130 person.
