Amenities & Services
Just imagine getting up in the morning with already a beautiful sunshine and being able to start enjoying your day with breakfast in our restaurant overlooking the garden and the sea. Birds are always close and at sea there is always something going on, while in the kitchen Marie (our morning chef) prepares your breakfast according to your wishes.
At lunchtime, you are spoiled with a fine selection of snacks. The sea breeze will cool you down while you eat. In the evening you will meet our chef Peter and his staff who are ready to dazzle you with exquisite food and drinks. Peter does wonders every day with a different menu and the A La Carte menu is equally delicious and changed frequently. On our wine list you will find the best French and South African wines available in The Gambia.
In our beautiful tropical garden you will always find a nice spot in the shade or the sunshine to relax, read or enjoy the view and the countless colorful birds.
Our staff will serve you cool drinks, make sure your sun beds are where you want them and they will provide you with towels and umbrellas. When you feel for a swim, there is our swimming pool and an easy access to our private beach.
Dining
Our restaurant is located on a cliff top, with panoramic views spanning lush tropical gardens and the ocean lapping the shore below. The chef owner Peter and his wife Jojo have created the rare combination of quality food, stunning ambience, with their unique informal style.
