Ada Getaways - Royal Riverside

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.

Ada Getaways - Aqua Safari Resort!

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 - Axim Getaways 2

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.

Ankobrah Beach Resort - Axim Getaways Part 1

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.

Ike's Cultural Village

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.

The main selling point here is “eco friendly”, which is the term used for anything designed to do the least possible damage to the environment, so almost everything is natural and environmentally friendly.

Glamping in The Great Outdoors | Shai Hills Resource Reserve

Glamping: Where stunning nature meets modern luxury. a way to experience nature without having to sacrifice creature comforts.

Also: Camping, without the struggle.

I’m the least outdoors-y person I know - I hate bugs, uncut grass, animals , and all related physical activity (The only place outside I love wholeheartedly is the beach).

It’s almost my birthday, and in the spirit of trying new things in my new age, I decided to start my celebrations glamping in “the great outdoors”.
