Exclusive eco-resort nestled between Lake Volta and mountains offering luxury tented suites and villas. Features private lake access, organic farm-to-table dining, and sunset cruises. Perfect for romantic escapes and nature immersion with high-end comfort.
Aqua Safari Resort is a four-star eco-resort located in Big Ada, Greater Accra Region, set directly on the banks of the Volta River near its confluence with the Atlantic Ocean. The resort opened in 2014 and has established itself as one of Ghana's premier waterfront luxury properties, distinguished by a combination of natural riverside scenery and high-end comfort. The setting places guests between the river's broad expanse and surrounding wetland vegetation, with no urban development visible from most accommodation units.
The property offers six room categories. The 24 m² Standard Room includes a daily-stocked minibar. The 30 m² Superior Room adds a balcony overlooking a garden stream and dedicated butler service. The 50 m² Deluxe Room features Volta River views and personalised butler attendance. The Junior Suite provides 50 m² of space with luxurious antique furnishings and butler service. The flagship units are the 46 m² Waterfront Cabin — positioned directly on the riverbank with a private garden — and the 139 m² Two-Bedroom Chalet, a family-scale villa with a furnished living area, two bathrooms, a balcony, and a private garden.
Water-based activities form the core of the resort's recreational offering: kayaking, jet-skiing, flyboarding, and guided river fishing are all available from the riverfront. Archery and marked nature trails provide land-based alternatives. On-site dining serves local Ghanaian and international cuisine, with day-visit packages available for non-resident guests. Onsite medical services are available for guests during their stay.
The resort's location in Big Ada places it approximately 80–90 km east of Accra along the coastal road, making it accessible as a weekend retreat for Accra residents or as a standalone destination for international visitors exploring the Volta Delta region and adjacent coastal wetlands. Reservations can be made directly by contacting the resort.

Tips for visiting
- Book the Waterfront Cabin or Deluxe Room well in advance for weekends — these river-view units are the most requested
- The resort is most peaceful Sunday to Thursday when day-visitor numbers are lower
- Bring light clothing and insect repellent — the riverside wetland environment attracts mosquitoes at dusk
- Flyboarding and jet-ski sessions should be arranged early on arrival as timeslots fill quickly in peak season
- The drive from Accra takes 1.5–2 hours depending on traffic; aim to arrive by mid-afternoon to make use of daylight river activities
