Ghana’s Most Celebrated Luxury Resorts
Resort 01
Aqua Safari Resort ,Ada, Greater Accra Region
Sitting gracefully along the Volta River at Ada, Aqua Safari Resort is the resort many Ghanaians call their favourite weekend escape — and it is easy to see why. The combination of open-air dining, sunset boat cruises on the Volta, hammocks strung between palms, and comfortable riverside chalets creates a mood that is hard to replicate anywhere else in the country.
It is not just the setting that impresses. The service here has earned Aqua Safari a loyal following among Accra’s business community and diaspora visitors alike. Just 1.5 hours from the capital, it is close enough for a weekend but feels far enough to genuinely disconnect.
