Welcome To Maranatha Beach Camp
...where the sea meets the river
Maranatha Beach Camp is located 2 hours east of Accra in the small town of Ada-Foah. We are on the Volta estuary in the small fishing community of Kewunor
Our camp is situated just metres from the sea on the banks of the Volta river. We have 30 rustic huts containing single or double beds with mosquito nets. We also have dorm rooms available for larger groups.
When you have arrived at the camp you can sit back and relax with a beer or soda, enjoy a meal at our restaurant which serves a variety of freshly cooked local food or take a swim in the Volta river which is clean and free of strong currents (we also have trained lifeguards on duty if you prefer a swim in the sea)
On Saturday nights you will find a bonfire and dancing, during the week it is quieter but there are board games to play or we sometimes show a movie at our restaurant.
If you prefer to explore we can arrange boat trips, excursions to the local markets and community tours around our village. Come between November and January and you may be lucky to see one of the 5 species of turtle who come visit us every year to lay their eggs on our beach.
If you want to stay longer you can take part in our volunteer programme. We have a variety of opportunities for you to help, either in our school or the local community.

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!
December 30, 2014I stayed at the resort for 5 nights and had a great time. The place is very simple, but you have everything you need and it's cheap. The food is... read more good (not that much choice for 6 days but most people stay for a weekend and then it is enough), the location between the ocean and the river is great and it is one of the few very clean places. On Saturdays they have a bonfire which is very cool.
I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place to everyone! It's like a little cheap paradise 😉
September 26, 2018Ada 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

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.
September 24, 2018Undoubtedly 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.
September 25, 2018Stayed 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.

Maranatha beach camp is located on an estuary, providing a beautiful landscape with the ocean on one side and a clean calming river on the other. I lived on the... read more camp for 2 months as a volunteer at the Maranatha school in the neighbouring village.
The accommodations are simple and basic but comfortable. The food is provided in generous and good-tasting portions (although service was somewhat slow) and there's a fully functioning bar. The staff are extremely welcoming, always happy and do all they can to make sure you re comfortable and satisfied with your stay. They provide music and dancing around bonfires at night, as well as other social activities.
The camp is a well known as a tourist and/or holiday resort, where many Ghanian locals as well as tourists go during holidays or weekends.
If you're looking for a high-end or upscale resort, this shouldn't be your first choice. But for anyone travelling on a budget or wants to truly experience the Ghanian culture this is the place to go!
November 27, 2015Take 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.
December 24, 2015A 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?
