Beach Chalets at the Green Turtle Lodge

Add to wish list

Accommodation at Green Turtle Lodge is in the form of individual beach chalets. The beach chalets combine comfort and luxury with traditional African style. Large, airy rooms are attractively decorated and contain comfortable beds complete with mosquito nets. Self-contained rooms or those with shared bathroom facilities are available. Beach chalets are self-sufficient with their own solar panel providing the energy. Campers and overlanders are very welcome. A high standard of cleanliness is always maintained.

The beach chalets at Green Turtle Lodge have been made using traditional methods and we have tried, wherever possible, to use indigenous, sustainable materials throughout. The idea is that Green Turtle lodge has the appearance of a small village and that the buildings do not stand out inappropriately on the landscape. The clay chalets have been designed to ensure they remain naturally cool. The lodge is powered entirely by solar energy. The toilets are self- composting and shower water is used to feed plant species that thrive on soap minerals.

Don't Miss

Green Turtle Lodge is ideally situated for both relaxation and for exploration of the surrounding area. There is plenty to do and see in the local area and we offer some organised tours to make this more accessible to visitors.

Canoe Trip

Our most popular tour. Take a dugout canoe to ride through the mangroves of the Ezile river and marvel at the fascinating eco-system, prolific with bird life and butterflies and with the chance of seeing monkeys.

Hiking Trails

We organise locally-guided hiking trips along scenic coastal paths or into the Cape Three Points Forest Reserve to explore the rich biodiversity of the rainforest. Or choose a route through the rubber plantation and see rubber being collected before you venture into the bamboo forest and negotiate the locally constructed bamboo bridges, ending the walk at the fishing village of Dixcove where you can visit Fort Metal Cross and see the picturesque harbour dotted with colourful fishing boats.

Other Activities

At Green Turtle there is something to suit everyone. If you are not exhausted after going on hike or playing beach games, why not play frisbee with tireless Maya the dog! Surfers can try the breaks at Cape Three Points or LP. If you simply feel like resting then why not relax in a hammock with a book, or top up your tan on the deserted, hassle-free beach.

More Unusual Activities

This stunning, paradisical setting is a perfect place to propose to your partner! We've had three people propose on our beach so far. Of course, a tropical, palm-fringed beach is also the ideal location for a wedding! We have had five couples get married at Green Turtle Lodge. So if you fancy breaking from tradition and want to have a relaxed, tropical, beach wedding then why not choose Green Turtle Lodge as the venue when you get married?

Getting there

Cultural Tours

Immerse yourself in the local culture and learn a little more about the history and traditions of Ghana. With a local guide you can take a tour of Akwidaa fishing village, visit the village schools and meet the chief, or walk to the ruins of Fort Dorothea. You can test your strength and stamina by pounding fu-fu in the village.

By Road By public transport - Travel from Takoradi to Agona Junction. Take a tro-tro (local mini-bus taxi) or a taxi heading to Akwidaa Old Town. Ask to be dropped at Green Turtle Lodge, about one kilometre before Akwidaa.

By private vehicle - Travel west from Takoradi to Agona Junction and turn left at the roundabout. At the next fork junction, take the right hand road to Dixcove. Turn right at the seafront and follow the road round turning right again and then immediately left so that you are leaving the village of Dixcove. The road is rough from here to Green Turtle. Follow this road straight, towards Akwidaa. Green Turtle Lodge is 10 kilometres along this road, on the left before you reach Akwidaa.

Green Turtle Lodge is situated in a remote area in the Western Region of Ghana. We are about five hours drive from Accra and about one hours dirve from Takoradi. The last 10km of road is a dirt track through the bush. It is in poor condition so it is slow going but the bumpy ride will be worthwhile once you reach the beach - we promise! GPS - Our GPS co-ordinates are: N04° 45.515' W002° 01.272'
