Destinations all throughout Ghana are experiencing a festive mood as we draw closer to the “most delightful time of the year.” It helps if there is gorgeous landscape, but the greatest places to go for Christmas are those that offer cheery décor and festive festivities that encapsulate the holiday pleasure. Not to mention that you may have the ultimate December getaway with only a short drive to many of these great Christmas spots spread out across the nation.
This holiday season is about more than just purchasing gift cards, Christmas trees, cooking holiday meals for the family, posting holiday greetings on social media, or even attending church. Ghana offers a wide variety of settings to celebrate Christmas. Check this list out.
1. Bloom Bar
A popular outdoor pub known for its distinctive lighting, specialty drinks, and casual atmosphere.
Bloom bar has not only filled a void in Accra’s nightlife, but it has also established itself as a “must-have” destination, bringing the proper energy to the city.
Enjoy the wild nightlife at Bloom Bar this Christmas. It is advisable to arrive early because the area can become congested and to wear formal attire.
2. Aqua Safari
The Aqua Safari is one of the top Christmas vacation spots outside of Accra. You will have all the pleasure you can handle at the resort, I can assure you of that. Some of the best X-mas events are hosted at the resort by the majority of prominent Ghanaian event planners. Get both the tranquility of a vacation and the joy of Christmas in one location.
There are certain tour companies or tour guides who design their trips. So get ready to interact with tourists and residents who share your desire to enjoy Christmas to the fullest. Enjoy a Jet-Ski ride; if you don’t know how to operate one, a course is available to teach you.
Accra, the country’s capital, is not far from Aqua Safari. You can enjoy yourself to the fullest and then head back to your Accra lodging.
3. Cape Coast
The ideal holiday spot in Ghana has always been Cape Coast. It is a favourite Christmas travel destination in Ghana since it has some of the best historical sites, beaches, and parks in the nation. This December in Cape Coast, there are so many sites to discover.
The best way to enjoy your Cape Coast Christmas trip is to explore self-driving through Ghana this holiday season. It can be extremely affordable to join tour groups, but you might not have much time to explore the area since they can be pressed for time to see all the beautiful sites in a single day.
Spend two days touring Cape Coast’s historical sites. Numerous locations close to Cape Coast include the Elmina Castle, Kakum National Park, and Cape Coast Castle.
Another fantastic lodging choice for a full trip is camping at the beach.
4. Osu Oxford Street
Although it is a bustling street during the day, it is also one of Ghana’s busiest at night. The dawn will wake you up even before you have had a chance to visit half of Oxford Street, so I wager you can’t spend the entire night investigating all the exciting locations there.
Osu Oxford Street is the ideal place to stay if you want to take advantage of Ghana’s nightlife during Christmas. The street is home to everything, from strippers clubs to rooftop parties. The street is both the most popular with tourists in Ghana and the safest for them.
5. Aburi Botanical Garden
Aburi Garden is one of the greatest Christmas destinations in Ghana.
Due to its natural setting, the Aburi Botanical Garden has welcomed thousands of local and foreign visitors over the years. You’ll fall in love with nature because to the garden’s tranquil ambience. The garden is a beautiful setting if you also want to add some fantastic shots to your social media account.
6. Keta
Without Keta, the list wouldn’t be complete. In some ways, Keta is also advancing Ghanaian tourism. Nowadays, Keta Beach is one of Ghana’s most stunning locations, and it is extremely popular. Keta’s layout is one of its coolest features.
7. Royal Senchi
The Royal Senchi Hotel and Resort is located in one of Ghana’s most picturesque regions along the famous Volta River in the Eastern Region, about 90 minutes’ drive from Accra, the country’s capital.
A 35-acre conservation nature park with unusual butterfly and bird populations is easily accessible from the hotel. The Royal Senchi is honoured to be regarded as one of the best hotels in West Africa and has won a number of prestigious honours.
