Bakau Holidays
Unspoilt stunning Bakau beaches
Located in Gambia’s Kombo District on the Atlantic coastline, Bakau provides a more relaxed atmosphere than some of the busier resorts. With long stretches of stunning, unspoilt beaches lapped by the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean this is an incredibly romantic location. The Atlantic coastline is home to the Gambia’s beautiful and well known beach resorts such as Cape Point, Kololi, Kotu and Brufut Heights, and visiting these beaches will be a highlight on a holiday here. With beautiful beaches and a climate that boasts year round 30C plus temperatures, Bakau is one of the most desired locations.
Exciting African excursions
Bakau is not just about the beaches, water sports, and stunning sunsets, there is much more to see and do. Bakau’s New Town along with the Old Town and Sait Matty Road are lively vibrant areas filled with bars, restaurants and markets; perfect for a night out to sample some local entertainment. Excursions and sightseeing trips around the Gambia will be one of the many highlights to enjoy. Boat trips up the Gambia River to spot the crocodiles and trekking through the wildlife parks at Bijilo or Baboon Island will allow visitors to taste an Africa that exists beyond the resorts.
Luxury resort accommodation
Bakau accommodation options include luxury hotels located only a stone’s throw from the beach. Boasting facilities such as spa and fitness centres, swimming pools, and first class restaurants, this is relaxation and pampering at its best. For a touch of luxury try the Bay Ocean Hotel and Resort; a 5 star sumptuous hotel that boasts extremely reasonable prices. With bargain holiday prices available all year round and only six hours flying time from the UK it is no surprise that many visitors are now enjoying long weekends in sun drenched Bakau.
Weather in Bakau
A sun drenched location isn’t too hard to find in the Gambia and the resort of Bakau is no exception. This is an all year round sunshine destination with temperatures reaching over the 30C mark for most of the year. Bakau boasts almost unbroken sunshine throughout the year although it does have a few months when rainfall will occur. Temperatures can reach up to and sometimes over 34C during the hot spring months but cool breezes will drift in from the Atlantic Ocean to temper the heat. Bakau is a true all year round sunshine destination that beach lovers will easily fall in love with.
