Have you ever dreamed of Paradise on earth?

Coco Beach


The Coconut Residence is the closest thing you will ever get to experience. Imagine a large piece of land filled with majestic banana palms, a garden scented by bougainvillea and a variety of exotic flower. Imagine being surrounded by the mellifluous sounds provided by the colourful birds that filled the grounds. Imagine yourself with the person you love, walking along one of the many pathways that takes you from your suite to one of the restaurants, the ClubHouse or one of the pools.





At the Coconut Residence, one has the opportunity to verify that the reputation earned by the Gambian for their beauty and friendliness is not a legend. The staff of The Coconut Residence is a combination of European and Gambian personnel. Each and everyone understands and applies the philosophy of the owners. "Each guest is a favourite guest of The Coconut Residence, they all are VIP's and should be treated as such". The impeccable service is friendly, old world courtesy and gentleness still exists within the grounds of The Coconut Residence.




The Coconut Residence is for the gourmet and the gourmand! Three international Chefs de cuisine bring their expertise and originality to the kitchen. Mediterranean, Indonesian, French and Gambian culinary masterpieces. Each guest can find something to interest and delight his palate. The fresh fruits and herbs are provided by The Coconut Residence's grounds, from the ocean nearby comes the wide variety of fresh fishes and crustaceans, meat is selected and imported from all over the world, while the wines are chosen from the best European vintages.





What can one do in Paradise? For those who still have energy left after sampling the foods, a sunset cruise on the Gambia river might be the answer, while a deep sea fishing expedition is also an alternative. One can go bird watching, Gambia having one of the largest variety of birds in the world. One can also organize a day at the beach, the staff of The Coconut Residence will bring all that is necessary, including gazebo tents, lounge chairs, food, etc. and much more..just ask the manager, there is always something more to do, to see and to explore.
