Calabash Residence is a charming self-catering apart-hotel located just two minutes from the beach in The Gambia’s popular Kotu tourism district. Offering a selection of spacious, air-conditioned studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, it provides the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and convenience for both short- and long-term stays.

Originally a jazz and nightclub in the late '90s, Calabash has transformed into a tranquil retreat that reflects Gambian warmth and tradition. The name itself, inspired by the versatile calabash gourd, symbolizes hospitality and cultural pride—qualities woven into every part of the guest experience.

Guests enjoy a range of modern amenities including fully equipped kitchens, daily housekeeping, complimentary Wi-Fi, and access to laundry facilities. The central swimming pool and lush gardens offer a peaceful space to relax, while the poolside bar and on-site restaurant serve up local and international dishes from morning to late evening.

A cozy sports lounge, airport transfers, and proximity to shops, restaurants, and local attractions enhance the stay. Under the leadership of Mr. Aziz, a respected figure in Gambia’s tourism industry, Calabash also connects guests with trusted tour operators for seamless cultural exploration.

At Calabash Residence, hospitality goes beyond service—it's a celebration of community, comfort, and authentic Gambian living.
