A Gambian village spirit, restful by design.
Thatched bungalows, tropical gardens, and warm hospitality — a peaceful corner of Kololi, just a short walk from the Atlantic.
Built like a village, not a hotel.
Bamboo Village is built in the spirit of a Gambian village — clusters of thatched bungalows arranged along leafy pathways, each finished with locally crafted furnishings and the quiet warmth of natural materials.
Set among tropical gardens and a generous pool, with the Atlantic just a short walk away, it’s a place that invites you to slow down: linger over breakfast, drift between pool and garden, and let the days find their own gentle pace.

Thatch, timber, and the warmth of things made by hand.
Each bungalow is thatched and timbered in the local tradition, finished with furnishings crafted by Gambian hands. The result is something genuinely of this place — unhurried, warm, and quietly distinctive.
Paths wind through greenery between the bungalows, opening onto the pool, the restaurant, and the gardens. There is no grand lobby and no long corridor — just the easy layout of a village, and the calm that comes with it.
Days that move at your pace.
Poolside ease
A long, lazy pool fringed by palms — the slow centre of the day.
Tropical gardens
Winding paths through greenery, with a resident peacock for company.
A short walk to the beach
The Atlantic is just moments away — nearby, not private, always inviting.
Three things we hold onto.
Village spirit
Clusters of thatched bungalows arranged along leafy pathways — built in the spirit of a Gambian village, not a corridor of rooms.
Local craft
Locally crafted furnishings and natural materials throughout, with the quiet warmth that comes from things made by hand.
A slower pace
Tropical gardens, a generous pool, and the Atlantic a short walk away — a place that invites you to let the days find their own rhythm.
