Overview & Features

Kotu Beach, Kotu, Gambia

Tamala Beach Resort (Adults Only)

Tamala Beach Resort stands as an icon of refined contemporary opulence on the golden shores of Kotu, Gambia. The moment you step inside, you're enveloped by a harmonious blend of traditional African elegance and modern comfort: the lobby unfolds with a dramatic entryway adorned with local artwork that seems to tell the history of the land, and the inviting aroma of essential oils hints at the wellness journey just steps away. Signature features of the resort include an exclusive spa offering a comprehensive menu of stress-melting treatments; a shimmering outdoor pool framed by palm trees; and a gastronomic tapestry that fuses African and American cuisines, allowing guests to indulge in local flavors while enjoying a refreshing cocktail by the beach. For those seeking ultimate relaxation, personalized refreshments can be delivered to you in a hammock strung between shade trees overlooking the ocean, creating an idyllic retreat from the world. As the sun sets, the resort transforms elegantly, culminating in a spectacular New Year's Eve gala dinner highlighted by the captivating melodies from the Live Orchestra Baobab, known for their soulful rhythms and enchanting performances.

Explore the Local Area

Tamala Beach Resort is strategically located within a five-minute drive to Kololi Beach, a stretch of powdered sands perfect for sunbathing, yet also just a stone's throw from the vibrant heart of Gambia's cultural offerings.
