Coco Ocean Resort & Spa

. Lovingly designed and created by the owners of the elegant Coconut Residence, this boutique hotel imaginatively combines different architectural styles and unique features with impressive results. Moorish elements such as domes and arches blend perfectly with the swaying palms and tropical flowering plants, which grow in abundance. The emphasis on comfort and space throughout the high quality suites and public areas create a relaxing and serene environment from which to enjoy the spectacular views towards the unspoilt sandy beach.

The 24 suites and penthouses are located in the Papaya and Kouni residences built into the hillside overlooking the 3 tiered swimming pools linked by fountains and flowing streams. All are extremely light and airy with high ceilings and spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas. They are all slightly different in design to make the most of the sea views on offer from the majority of rooms. All include bathrobes and slippers, with double basins in the ample bathroom.

There are 4 Royal Suites each with its own private plunge pool and 14 Club Villas share their own pool and area of beach for an even more exclusive experience.

The quality of cuisine on offer is sure to tempt even the most discerning guest. Fresh ingredients are used wherever possible in the 3 restaurants, many from the hotel’s own gardens. In addition to the Courtyard restaurant where you can enjoy a leisurely champagne breakfast or dinner al fresco, there is the Coco Beach grill restaurant, whose location is hard to beat. Fine dining can be found in the Safran restaurant where the international Chefs create delicious menus to tempt you. Based on the success of the highly reputed Avocado restaurant at Coco Ocean’s sister hotel, this is sure to provide a memorable evening.

The 1800sq metre Spa facility is an integral part of the property with a full range of treatments on offer by specialist therapists from around the world, as well as a gym and exercise classes. Again, the exciting use of colour and light create an atmosphere perfect for relaxation and enjoyment. The Coco Ocean occupies an enviable position next to Bijilo Forest Park Nature Reserve, famous for its green vervet and red colobus monkeys, and the Bijilo Beach hotel.

A 15-minute walk along the unspoilt beach will bring you to the resort of Kololi. Coco Ocean’s location combined with the luxurious facilities and personal touches evident throughout will assure its position as one of the best hotels in The Gambia and it raises the level of quality accommodation to new heights of luxury. The first phase of the development consists of the spa and public facilities plus the majority of the room types and for Winter 2008, special introductory prices will apply
