Banjul Holidays

The Gambia is situated on the beautiful West African coast, midway between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator, on approximately the same latitude as Barbados. It has so much to offer all year round from its unsophisticated charm, miles of deserted palm fringed beaches, spacious tropical gardens and nature reserves to quality hotels.

Under 6 hours flying time from London, it truly offers an exciting destination and warm hospitality to those looking for a real alternative to the resorts of Europe, but at comparable prices.

The Corinthia Atlantic is situated away from the majority of tourist hotels. Situated about ten minutes walk from the centre of Banjul which has little to offer by way of nightlife, this hotel caters for guests wishing to stay in during the evening with an entertainment programme. The location does provide an ideal base for those wishing to explore the capital, or for the adventurous, take the local Barra ferry to the North Bank.

During the winter there is a wide range of activities throughout the day and entertainment in the evening, but only a limited programme in summer. Within the hotel there is a choice of restaurants, hairdresser, gift shop, games room and disco as well as a wide range of sports facilities. A particular feature of the hotel is the charming bird garden which is popular with all guests.

The reception area and public rooms are a spacious cool haven from the Gambian sun, while the rooms offer an excellent standard of accommodation with modern amenities.

The beach is a stunning feature of the hotel following the replenishment programme, there is now a wide area of sand leading down to the ocean.
