Perhaps, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted your travel plans in the first half of the year. But all time is not lost. Summer is here and winter is coming and so is Christmas and New Year. As countries around the world begin to relax COVID-19 travel restrictions, it's time to revisit your travel plans and set yourself loose once again. If you like it beachy or resorty, there are several African holiday destinations that'll meet your expectations and even exceed them. The Maaha Beach Resort in Ghana is one of such excellent locations for a rewarding staycation this season and beyond. My first time here was in 2019 and I totally loved it.

Located in the Ellembele District in the Western Region of Ghana, Maaha Beach Resort a place where unlimited leisure meets affordable luxury. As you step in, the unmistakable traditional Nzema architecture bears witness to the sophisticated yet simple elegance within. The incredibly beautiful scenery highlighted by the adjacent Atlantic Ocean ushers you into a 'new world'. The first impressions are those of peace, tranquility, luxury, and creativity. Call it love at first sight and you would be right. Whether you want a quick weekend getaway or an extended stay, Maaha Beach Resort will offer you a lap of luxury in more ways than one. Excellent Accommodation For accommodation, Maaha Beach Resort offers three elegant options, all of which feature decors that reflect traditional Ghanaian accents with a modern touch. The Standard room gives you the freedom to roll over in your double or queen size bed while enjoying well-thought-out services.

However, you can step up the game a little by immersing yourself in one of the spacious Deluxe rooms where you can adjust the room temperature and the mood lighting with the touch of a bottom. And if you can, you should pamper yourself in one of the exceptionally spacious Executive rooms designed with love in mind.

The Executive room provides a tranquil and lush space to relax while enjoying scenic views of the adjacent Atlantic Ocean. Whether you go Standard, Deluxe or Executive, a generous open-plan bathroom with separate standing shower and a spacious work area will put you right at home during your stay.

That is, while you enjoy the musical vibes and the scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Other Facilities Maaha Beach Resort offers excellent accommodation and exquisite gastronomy, but there's more. The resort has facilities for various sports including lawn tennis, table tennis, swimming, beach soccer, beach volleyball, and water sports.
