Gambia: One week for 2 at a stunning nice beach for 100 EURO, breakfast included

Gambia, Kartong:

If you want to soak up the sun at a favourable price, you should consider the Sunshine Lodge in Kartong. The south of The Gambia is more for those seeking relaxation and nature lovers, but the beaches are fantastic and the weather is very pleasant all year round. The thermometer is unlikely to drop below 20C, and during the day it can even scratch the 30 degree mark in February. What more could a contemporary who has been battered by the weather in Europe want?

Flights (one way) are starting from 120 EURO from Brussels. For example on 28 March 2025: 120 EURO per person. Frankfurt or Zurich will be more expensive.

At the African Atlantic coast only a few lodges are located directly at the beach

A place to switch off and enjoy

The Sunshine Lodge offers a unique blend of local and European hospitality. Guests can pamper themselves with a soothing massage, enjoy a relaxing manicure or pedicure or simply admire the breathtaking view of the sea with a hot coffee or a refreshing fruit juice. The motto is: ‘Time to relax’ – and that is exactly the programme here.

Culinary highlights on the beach

If you get hungry, you won’t be disappointed: the bar serves both traditional Gambian specialities and quick European dishes. Fresh ingredients and the relaxed atmosphere make every meal a pleasure. The lodge’s juices are particularly delicious. These can be ordered and are served fresh in front of the guests. They cost 100 Dalasi (approx. 1.40 EURO) per glass.

Budget-friendly rates

Spend the night in the Sunshine Lodge in the middle of nature, right by the sea. Approximately 19 square metres in size, with good beds and a bathroom, the wooden lodge houses are ideal for beach fetishists and water sports enthusiasts. The Sunshine Lodge holidaymaker jumps from the bed onto the terrace and runs 20 metres across the sand to the beach.

For travellers who want to stay for a few days or even weeks, Sunshine Lodge currently offers a very nice wooden house with shower and toilet. Simple standard, but very cosy. With a marvellous terrace overlooking the garden and beach. More cottages like this are planned.

Boss Yaya and his team are very concerned about nature and are busy reforesting Sunshine Beach. This will transform a deserted beach into a green oasis of relaxation.

One night costs around 15 US $

An overnight stay with breakfast costs around 1000 Dalasi (approx. 15 US $) for one or two people. A week costs around 7000 Dalasi, including breakfast for one or two guests. That is about 105 US $. Located directly on the beach, they are the perfect retreat for nature lovers and adventurers. Here you wake up to the sound of the waves and fall asleep under a starry sky, which is particularly impressive in this unspoilt corner of West Africa.
