Sandele Eco Retreat  

On Gambia’s sun-dusted south coast in Kartong, an award-winning ecolodge sits a hundred metres from a deserted beach. Nearby highlights include Gambia Reptile Farm (0.4 mi) and a short drive to Sanyang Beach, making this pet-friendly, family-friendly beach lodge ideal for nature lovers.

Sandele Eco Retreat offers 24 luxury lodges nestled in bush just back from the surf, each with a private furnished balcony and en-suite shower. Rooms include safes, desks, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, with daily housekeeping and a community-run ethos that supports Kartong.

Pamper yourself with onsite massages, rent bicycles to explore the coast, or relax in the picnic and BBQ areas. The property features complimentary Wi-Fi, babysitting (surcharge), tour/ticket assistance, free self parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge) — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access.

A business center, conference space and a meeting room are available, plus multilingual staff, luggage storage and complimentary Wi‑Fi to keep you connected. Roundtrip airport shuttle service is offered for a surcharge.

Dine at the lodge restaurant or grab a drink at the bar/lounge or beach bar. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:00 AM, and limited room service is available for lunch or dinner.
