The spa at Coco Ocean features design inspiration from Moroccan architecture. The spa includes 13 treatment rooms leading to gardens, a Thalasso pool, a Finnish sauna, and an ice plunge pool. The spa's design includes arched ceilings and domes adorned with jeweled tiles. Guests can experience the traditional Moroccan Hamam. The highly detoxifying clay used is rich in Magnesium, Silica, and Potassium. A Kessa glove is used for cleansing before Rhassoul clay is applied. The experience ends with essential oil application after steam purification. Sun beds are available with towels at the beach and pools.

Location Highlights

Coco Ocean Resort & Spa is 20 km from Banjul International Airport. Nearby landmarks include Craft Market, Qcity, and TOP-SHOP Gambia (2 km). Monkey Park is 2.5 km away, while Birdwatching in The Gambia and Bijilo Forest Park are 2 km away. Senegambia Beach is also 2 km away. Note that the Atlantic Ocean has strong undercurrents, indicated by a flag system on the beach front.

Hotel Services

The boutique, located in the lobby, is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. Featured events include visits by international dignitaries. Furnishings, including upholstery, wood-works, decorative items, and stained glass, are from local artisans.

“Coco Ocean charms with Moroccan design and a focus on wellness, including a Thalasso pool; the private beach and ocean-view dining add to the appeal, though some find the restaurants inconsistent. For a solo traveler or business, the Thai restaurant stands out with authentic flavors, though addressing the indoor bugs could elevate the experience. It's a visually striking retreat with friendly staff, especially suited to those prioritizing relaxation.”
