Looking to visit somewhere a little off-the-beaten-track for a relaxing and luxurious break? Right now, we think you couldn’t do better than Sandele eco retreat in Gambia; a sustainably-maintained resort with breathtaking scenery and fabulous accommodation.
Gambia in West Africa is known for its views and in particular, its dramatic sunsets. The smallest country in West Africa, it has a reputation for being a safe and friendly tourist destination, with a wealth of wildlife for nature lovers: its diverse bird population is a big attraction for some.
As far as accommodation goes, Sandele has a lot to recommend it. For those planning on making a sustainable, ethical trip, it’s the perfect choice as it is operated by Gamspirit; a company that exists to promote ethical tourism, using much of its profit to benefit local communities. The eco retreat itself brings much-needed income to the area, and after 25 years, its founders have promised to give the buildings it comprises back to the village.
Just as importantly, it’s a wonderful place to spend a holiday! Situated just a short walk away from miles of beautiful unspoilt beach, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing and carefree break. The retreat itself is built in the traditional style of the area, and rooms are luxuriously but authentically set out, with generously-sized comfortable beds and en-suites. Meals, including many vegetarian options, are served in the complex’s restaurant.
If that all sounds like a holiday of a lifetime for you, you can find out more at Sandele.com!
