I spent the most relaxing weekend ever in Aburi at the beginning of the month! Big believer in getting out of Accra as much as you can, so during the long weekend my girls and I stayed over at the Vacationist, a new vacation home in Aburi.

Spent the most peaceful 48 hours I’ve had this month at a beach resort in Ningo Prampram called The C Residences & Resort. It was such a super quiet, super peaceful vibe I considered extending my stay. Ningo-Prampram is just about 2 hours outside Accra, which makes it a great daycation destination for those who dont want to stay overnight

Spent a few days in the mountains!

Hillburi, also known as The Resort On The Hill is an exclusive resort and getaway destination in Aburi that hosts beautiful weddings, work retreats, conferences and similar events.

The entire place has a tropical natural theme that is super relaxing; big windows, beautiful views and quiet spaces.

Started my week with beautiful views on a quiet and clean beach! Belleza Beach Club is a fairly new 5 bedroom beach house rental on the Kokrobite/Langma beach, next to Wakanda Beach. It’s been open for under a year but it’s slowly becoming THE rental space in Kokrobite for obvious reasons - it’s a lovely vibe. It’s perfect for staycations, baecations, day visits, photo ops, and pretty much any beach related activity you can think of.

2 things I love - meeting women in high places (it’s all the motivation in the world) and trying new cuisines. Over the weekend I got to do both - I was invited to dinner with the Ambassador of Morocco, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil!

Thai food is such a flavourful experience. Easily one of my top 10 cuisines. Their food is centred around rice, noodles, sauces and soups, and is made with lots of spices, sharp flavors like lemon, and peanuts. Lots and lots of peanuts (it’s insane, almost everything has peanuts. If you’re allergic or simply don’t like them, you could just have it made without).

If you’re a fan of Thai food or interested in trying it, these are 4 places in Accra and 1 in Kumasi you can get very good Thai food from

Roadtrip #6! I love finding new spaces, especially out of town.

Royal Riverside Lodge is a riverside lodge which opened a few months ago in Adonokpe in Ada, a coastal town in the greater Accra region of Ghana. They arrange pick-ups from Accra, and charges for that depend on the number of people. It’s just a 90-120 minute and ¢100-¢150 uber ride from Accra Mall so you can easily find your own way there.

The theme here is simple - they’re providing you a space to relax. There’s a pool, a restaurant, a bar, board games, a lot of open space with views - everything you need to have a peaceful break from Accra.

Vacation number 5! (The plan was 10 for the year and I’m going through them fastttt) - Aqua Safari!

Aqua Safari is a beach resort in Ada, a coastal town in the greater Accra region of Ghana and is easily one of Ghana’s most popular out-of-town getaways. Depending on the traffic situation, it is a 150-180 minute drive from Accra Mall (I left at 5:30pm and got there a few minutes to 9:00pm). It’s a good location not just for overnight stays but day trips as well.

Lou Moon is a luxury “eco” (didn’t see anything eco-friendly though) resort on the shores of Axim, in the Western Region of Ghana. It’s probably too early to call it, but I’ve done 4 reviews this year and this is currently my favourite - It’s a beautiful place with well-kept lawns, trees, and views of the sea and the beautiful Agyan Bay.

Their website describes it as a “jewel of nature” and they absolutely didn’t lie; it’s as perfect as it gets. It’s such an extremely peaceful and quiet place and is easily a favourite for romantic getaways and honeymoons.

Super brief because this review was completely unplanned, but definitely worth the detour. Ankobrah Beach Resort is a resort on the shores of Axim, about 2 hours away from the Takoradi airport

They’re open for day trips as well, not just overnight stays and they arrange a lot of tours to places like Little and Great Ankobra rivers, Fort Apollonia Museum and the Nzulezu Style Village (the village on the river) and workshops for those interested in trying new things like archery and surfing.

Spent a few days in Kumasi and I got to visit the newest hotel around: Ike’s Cultural Village! It’s a boutique hotel located in the Kumasi Cultural Centre, directly opposite Ike’s Cafe and Grill and is a 15-20 minute drive from the Kumasi Airport on a good day.

A boutique hotel is a small stylish hotel and let me just say, I absolutely love the theme - the place is modelled around the clay hut aesthetic, but with a very modern twist.
