Coco Ocean is a beachside resort in Bijilo, a suburb of Serrekunda on the western Atlantic coast of the Republic of The Gambia, Africa's smallest nation. This hotel and its spa are decorated in traditional North West African style, with Gambian décor and added Moroccan-inspired elements. The hotel has three outdoor swimming pools for the whole family to enjoy. The spa includes a sauna and an indoor pool, and a variety of treatments are also available. Dining options at Coco Ocean include three bars and three restaurants, of which one is a casual beachfront restaurant by day and a smart-casual Thai restaurant by night. The á la carte restaurant serves dinner, with a number of dishes inspired by Moroccan, African and European cuisine. There's also entertainment put on by the hotel in the evenings. Coco Ocean sits beside the small and colourful nature reserve of Bijilo National Park, a protected area popular with nature lovers. The park is home to various species of roaming monkeys that live mostly in the canopies of the trees. You might be lucky enough to spot them on the trails of the park, which lead through wild grasses, sand dunes and a small forest.
The resort sits on the white sands of the Atlantic coast. Bijilo is a quiet, peaceful suburb, with cafés and bars. More restaurants can be found in the busier area of Kololi, a short drive away along the main road. A little further along the coast is the Senegambia Strip, 2.5km away, with its Senegambia craft market. Here, Gambian artisans and traders sell traditional handmade items such as sandals, jewellery, masks and drums. The capital city of Banjul is a 20km drive from the hotel. From here, you can take a ferry across the river's mouth and visit Niumi National Park.
There are different welcoming restaurants serving both local and international cuisine.
The hotel has a spa with several ocean-view spa rooms and treatments including massage; there's also a sauna and Turkish bath.
