At The Edge, you’ll be welcomed by a dedicated Gambian team that brings warmth, heart and authenticity to every stay. What we love most about being hosts is sharing the spirit of our country, its calm rhythm, its kindness, and its deep connection to nature. Our team includes housekeepers who greet you with a smile every morning, gardeners who care for the healing plants in our garden, and local guides who are always happy to show you their favourite places off the beaten path. We enjoy taking time for our guests whether it's helping you find the perfect herbal juice at our bar, arranging a cultural workshop, or simply having a friendly chat by the pool. Many of us have lived in this community all our lives and are proud to be part of a project that supports local jobs, shares our culture, and welcomes people from around the world. As hosts, we love seeing our guests arrive as strangers and leave feeling like part of the family. At The Edge, you’re not just a visitor - you’re part of something meaningful. We’re here to make you feel at home.

Welcome to The Edge - The Gambia’s first health and mindfulness oasis, where African warmth meets European quality in a community that truly cares. What makes The Edge unique is our transformative concept: we don’t just offer a stay, we offer an experience that nourishes body, mind and soul. Set just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, our sustainably built apartments are crafted with natural Gambian earth, designed according to Feng Shui principles and equipped with innovative wellness features such as energised water systems and premium Samina beds. This is not just accommodation it's a sanctuary for conscious travellers. Our holistic environment supports well-being through yoga and meditation sessions, herbal workshops, high-vibrational nutrition, and community events that spark meaningful exchange between guests and locals. Whether you're a digital nomad seeking inspiration, a wellness enthusiast on a personal retreat, or a family looking to explore authentic West African culture – The Edge offers space to reconnect, reflect and recharge. Hospitality at The Edge is about presence and heart. Our team welcomes each guest like family – with genuine care, personalised guidance, and small thoughtful touches like herbal welcome drinks, curated local excursions, and a “living library” of health wisdom in every room. Here, you're not just visiting The Gambia - you're becoming part of a mindful, multicultural community grounded in sustainability, respect, and positive energy.

Located in the serene coastal neighbourhood of Bijilo, The Edge offers the perfect blend of peace and accessibility. Just a short 2-minute walk brings you to the wide, uncrowded beach, where you can ground yourself in nature, take long walks along the shoreline or enjoy an early morning meditation by the sea. Guests also appreciate being only a few minutes from Senegambia, the country’s most vibrant tourism hub – with its colourful markets, restaurants, music venues and beach bars. It’s the ideal place to experience the lively side of Gambian culture, then return to the calm, grounding atmosphere of The Edge. Nature lovers can explore the nearby Bijilo Monkey Forest, home to friendly green monkeys and walking trails through coastal woodland. For those seeking authentic local experiences, our team can help arrange visits to nearby villages, cultural workshops, or eco-tours like birdwatching in the mangroves, kayaking, or trips to Kunta Kinteh Island. The area around The Edge offers a rare combination: it’s quiet, safe and ideal for rest – but everything that makes Gambia exciting and unforgettable is just around the corner.
