Beachfront bliss and local vibes
Set right on the golden sands, Balafon Beach Resort is just a short two-minute stroll from the vibrant Djeliba Plaza strip — home to laid-back beach bars and restaurants where you can enjoy live music, delicious local dishes, and international flavors with your feet in the sand.
Looking for even more excitement? Hop in a taxi just outside the hotel and head 2km down the road to Senegambia, The Gambia’s lively entertainment hub. Known as "the Strip," this bustling area offers a wide variety of restaurants, shops, and nightlife. Don’t miss the colorful local market — a treasure trove of handcrafted souvenirs and gifts to bring a piece of Gambia home with you.
