A gem, the Maranatha Beach resort is tucked away far from all other resorts in Ada Foah. As its beach boasts a pristine and serene atmosphere, this place is an... read more excellent way to blow off some steam from the fast-paced Accra. There is little access to electricity in the area, so the stargazing is simply breathtaking at night. Besides, there is the opportunity to dance around the bonfire listening to Shatta Wale while sipping on dem juices/beers. As such, I do not recommend this venue to travellers looking for a zen retreat, but to youngsters on a shoestring budget that have always had the aspiration to to dance around a bonfire and look to chill in fishnet hammocks overlooking the river.

However, don't put up your hopes too high concerning the rooms/food. 28 in total, the huts have sand floors to enhance the beach experience, and its beds are covered with mosquito nets. The food takes hooouuurs to finish and is not that tasty, but what else do you expect from a low budget hangout?

  We recently spent 6 weeks in Ghana My most memorable and enjoyable part of the trip was a 3 night stay in Maranatha Beach. I stayed in my own... read more private hut on the beach. It was so relaxing and nice. Bonfire on Saturdays, music on weekends and chill quiet time during the week. All the staff were friendly and made us feel at home. I recommend this place to everyone! Nice swimming and I fell asleep listening to the waves. Food is great and snacks are available from the locals who walk around with their products to sell on their heads. I will return for a longer time. Seriously, try it! You will not be disappointed!! I am already planning a return trip. I am from The United States.

  I went this summer with my friends and the place was so nice. The huts make a welcoming environment, the food was so good and it's the perfect place to... read more relax. Also there is some music to enjoy at the bar, or you can play volleyball or even swim. We'll come back for sure.

  Undoubtedly one of my best experiencies during my stay in Ghana. Not only the people are amazingly kind but the activities they offer during the day and the night, make... read more it an unforgettable experience (bonfire, volleyball...)
Akpacojaco is the best host you can ever have and he will always be welcomed in Spain.

  Ada is roughly 2hrs from Accra and from ada to ada foah where most of the resorts are is 20 or less
You can catch a loading taxi from... read more Accra mall to Tema roundabout and a trotro from the roundabout to ada. From ada you take another loading taxi to the shores of ada foah where the maranatha boat will take you to the beauty that is maranatha beach camp. Make sure to call so that the boat will be made available. Boat ride is 5/10gh and cheaper than the other boat services

Maranatha is amazing! The water is 90% clean, the beach is clean. Tours can be organized if you would like and there are beach games to entertain you and bonfires on weekends . The food is pretty average. The staff is super friendly but service can be slow

The manager Alfred is awesome!

Room is very basic and affordable at 50ghc
You can camp with your tent for 25ghc
Food is mostly 15ghc and above More

  Stayed in Maranatha for a weekend and it was great. The place is beautiful and very relaxing, yet fun and full of dance and laughter. There are many activities to... read more do all day. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Overall a great experience that I highly recommend.

  I came here to spend most of my weekend in the last 4 months. The crew is super friendly and feels like family now.
The food is very tasty... read more and cheap compared to other beach places. Make sure you order on time because it takes a while to prepare the food.
The huts are super cheap (15 cedi a night) and very basic but why do you need a expensive room with private shower and a king size bed if you can swim in the river AND the ocean and you can party all night around the bonfire.
Please make sure you visit the community. This is where a part of their profit goes to to fund schools.
The future of maranatha beach camp is very insecure because investors are trying to build a luxurious resort here. This will result in unemployment of the whole crew and a really bad future perspective for the whole community.
Come and enjoy this lovely beach and become part of the maranatha family!

  Take one village in a utopian setting; add a local enthusiast who wants to help his community; get 13 amazing locals to volunteer for room and board at most. Add... read more a number of bamboo huts, good food and great company in those volunteers, and you have the perfect makings of a great place to stay. All profits are put into the local school so kids no longer have to walk for 2 hours each way to study. The views are magical. The swimming divine. Go for it! The luxury is in the setting and the people.

  This Beach Camp is situated right between the calm Volta River and the wavy and more unsettled sea. So nomatter wich kind of swiming you like, you can find it... read more here. The huts are made of palm leafs and toilets are very basic, but that is also part of the charm of this place. The sorroundings are beatiful. Lots of palm trees, sand, kids from the village fishing and playing. Food is great and very local, though the waiting time is a bit long (as everywhere else in Ghana)
The crew working there is very helpfull and always up for a chat. All in all you get a charming and basic, very authentic Ghanian little piece of paradise. Very recommendable!
