Hotel details
Kombo Beach Hotel is a 4-star resort right on Kotu Beach. Kotu is one of The Gambia's most popular spots for beach holidays. With a wide, spacious sandy beach, there's plenty of room to relax. 

Take a dip in the swimming pool or take part in activities, such as table tennis, yoga, and aqua aerobics. Book sessions at the padel and tennis courts for an extra fee. There's a separate pool area with water slides for children. Enjoy weekly live entertainment, such as drumming troupes and cultural dance shows. 

Admire views of the beach as you tuck into breakfast in the Kadula Restaurant. Order à la carte lunch or dinner at the Barracuda Bar and Restaurant and drinks at the spots or beach bars (supplements apply for additional meals and drinks). 

The resort is a 15-minute taxi ride from the centre of Kololi, where you'll find a selection of bars and restaurants, plus craft markets. Head to Kotu Creek Bridge (five minutes' walk from the hotel), where you can spot black herons, African spoonbills, long-tailed cormorants, and more.
