Kalimba Beach Resort is a Gambian-owned four-star, all-inslusive, adults-only resort located directly on Kotu Beach. The contemporary African-inspired property offers a peaceful, child-free setting with approximately 80 rooms, tropical gardens and views across the Atlantic Ocean.
Guests can choose from garden-, pool- and ocean-view rooms, including swim-up accommodations with direct access to the resort’s expansive pool. All-inclusive packages are also available.
Kalimba Beach Resort offers a quieter alternative to the busier hotels around the Senegambia Strip. Its adults-only atmosphere, beachfront location and swim-up rooms make it especially suitable for couples, honeymooners, friends and solo travellers.
Guests can relax beside the pool or on Kotu Beach while remaining within easy reach of Kololi’s restaurants, nightlife, shops and craft markets.
Kalimba Beach Resort is owned by Gambian hospitality entrepreneurs Malleh Sallah and Omar Jawara and forms part of their locally owned Djeliba Leisure Group.
The partners have developed a growing portfolio of Gambian-owned resorts that includes Kalimba, TUI BLUE Tamala, Balafon and Djembe. The group’s success represents significant local ownership within The Gambia’s beachfront tourism industry.
Kalimba Beach Resort opened in December 2019 as a contemporary African-style resort designed around its beachfront setting and large interconnected swimming pool.
