The Gambia Experience is pleased to announce that two of its Luxury Collection properties - Coco Ocean Resort & Spa and the Mandina Lodges at Makasutu - will be featured as the competition prize on GMTV this week (on air 30 August – 03 September). The lucky winner will win a 14-night half board holiday for six to the Coco Ocean Resort & Spa, with a private day excursion to Makasutu included in the prize. In addition to this, the winner will receive £5,000 in cash, as well as flight upgrades where applicable, private airport transfers and two complimentary spa treatments each to enjoy during their hotel stay.
Coco Ocean Resort & Spa
Since opening in December 2008, Coco Ocean Resort & Spa - occupying a prime elevated position on an unspoilt beach in Bijilo - has been successful in attracting new clientele to The Gambia. Moorish architecture, swaying palms, tropical gardens and stylish interior design combine to provide the perfect setting for a deluxe holiday to remember. The 1800sq metre spa facility is an integral part of Coco Ocean Resort & Spa and is the first of its kind in The Gambia, its signature treatment being the Moroccan Hammam treatment.
The Mandina Lodges at Makasutu
The award-winning Mandina Lodges at Makasutu are set within a 1000-acre forest on a tributary of the River Gambia. Guests can choose from Floating, Stilted or Jungle Lodges, and are allocated a complimentary personal guide, on hand to help them discover the bush on foot, observe wildlife and explore the river by pirogue. Makasutu can be booked as a holiday in itself, or as an add-on to a stay at a coastal hotel, and promises an enchanting experience of authentic Gambia.
The Gambia Experience director, Chris Ayling said:
“We hope that the breakfast television coverage of The Gambia will raise awareness as to what the destination is able to offer and encourage new clients to holiday there. In addition to offering a great range of 2* to 5* hotels, there are wonderful boutique and eco properties, plus a wide range of fantastic restaurants. The Gambia Experience brochure includes an exclusive ‘Luxury Collection’, available to book with upgraded flights and private transfers.”
This winter, The Gambia Experience offers 7-nights bed & breakfast at the Coco Ocean Resort & Spa from £946 per person and 7-nights half board at the Mandina Lodges at Makasutu from £1096 per person.
