Ngala Lodge is more than a boutique hotel, it’s a feeling. Nestled between tropical gardens and the Atlantic coastline, this adults-only sanctuary offers privacy, calm, and character. With individually styled suites, many with sweeping ocean views, Ngala creates the space for genuine connections and a family-like atmosphere.

Originally the private home of Peter Engels, whose vision and love for The Gambia continue to shape its charm, the lodge has grown organically into one of the country’s most beloved hospitality gems. Over the years, it has become a place where guests return again and again for the warmth of the team, the award-winning cuisine, and the thoughtful details that make every stay feel special.

From in-room massages to sunset dinners on the terrace, each moment is curated with care. People come as guests, leave as friends and often return as family. But don’t just take our word for it. Come see for yourself.
