G Wellness Company Limited has entered into a strategic partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchisor, to introduce the first internationally branded resort in Banjul, The Gambia. The property will operate under the globally recognized Ramada by Wyndham brand.
This landmark venture represents a major step forward for The Gambia’s expanding tourism and hospitality industry, further establishing the country as an emerging travel destination in West Africa.
The Gambia, nestled along the Atlantic coast, proudly showcases its lively culture, rich history, and natural charm. Moreover, as the smallest nation on mainland Africa, it has made remarkable progress in positioning tourism as a cornerstone of its national growth strategy.
In 2019 alone, the country welcomed more than 620,000 tourists, with continued government investments in infrastructure and travel services aimed at enhancing its global attractiveness.
Wyndham will open the upcoming Ramada Resort in the vibrant coastal town of Kotu, a popular tourist destination known for its picturesque beaches and bustling local markets. Conveniently, the resort is ideally positioned around 22 kilometers from Banjul International Airport and 15 kilometers from the city center. Moreover, it will feature 65 stylishly designed guest rooms, offering guests a comfortable and elevated stay experience.
Guests can enjoy a range of amenities, including an all-day dining restaurant, a lounge bar, an ocean-view swimming pool, a wellness spa, and meeting facilities—catering to both leisure and business travelers seeking a premium stay experience.
“Partnering with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts for this landmark project in Banjul marks an important milestone for us,” said Manish Tilokani, Chairman of MP Trading Group. “Bringing the first internationally branded resort in The Gambia is a meaningful step in our growth, and with Ramada by Wyndham, we are committed to delivering high-quality hospitality standards. We look forward to welcoming guests to the resort by mid-2026,” he added.
This collaboration with G Wellness Company Limited represents a significant addition to our portfolio in West Africa,” said Govind Mundra, Head of Development – Middle East & Africa at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “It reflects our ongoing focus on expanding into high-potential, underserved markets and supporting our partners in delivering trusted, branded hospitality. We value our relationship with Manish and his team and see strong potential for further development across the region.”
The partnership between G Wellness Company Limited and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts marks a pivotal moment for The Gambia’s tourism sector, bringing global hospitality standards to one of West Africa’s most promising destinations.
This development not only underscores The Gambia’s growing appeal on the global tourism map but also reinforces its commitment to long-term economic growth through strategic hospitality investments.
