Ghana can get really hot at times. On those kinds of days, maybe you just want to laze around by a pool. Today, we want to show you the best swimming pools in Ghana where you will also get to enjoy beautiful panoramic views across the country’s vast and diverse landscapes.
Best swimming pools with a view in Ghana
There is set of increible hotels with swimming pools in Accra, and outside of the capital, you will also find the most stunning beach resorts in Ghana, many of them with incredible looking pools. But, in this article you’ll find the best swimming pools featuring outstanding and unique views, you can´t get anywhere else.
Golden Hill Parker
Golden Hill Parker hotel is located in Elmina, precisely on Bantuma Hills near Elmina Slave Castle and Fort in the Central Region of Ghana. Surrounded by the entire Elmina Township, you can see the entire town whilst taking your dip in the pool.
It will give you the unique oversight of the Gulf of Guinea, the Elmina slave castle, and fort Jago. What better way to experience Elmina right? Another fact you may find interesting is that this pool is the largest in the region and it is the only hotel with a whirlpool.
Prices for food and drink are fairly priced as well as the cost of admission to use the pool which is 40GHS (that is if you decide to not reside in their hotel of course). The pool is open to the general public between 10:00 AM till 8:00 PM.
In case you are also interested in booking a stay at the hotel, the starting price for a Deluxe room is $126 / 741 GHS and up to $136 / 844GHS for their most expensive room which is the Superior room.
Getting to the hotel can be a little confusing. You first have to drive through Elmina township, until you get to a certain junction where you turn and that is where a very steep road that goes all the way up to the hotel starts.
In case you want to avoid getting lost, you should know they offer a transport service which can pick you up directly from GreenViews or from your most convenient location.
You can check more details on their website.
Aburi Bio
This place is not just perfect because of its beautiful views, It is also a great option if you are looking for a staycation for example, either by yourself, with your partner or your family. It is the perfect getaway from the hustle & bustle of Accra, into a serene and peaceful environment, where you will only be surrounded by Ghana’s amazing natural landscapes.
Located in Aburi, next to Oboadaka Waterfalls, Aburi Bio is not yet accepting overnight guests because it’s under construction, however you can still have access to their infinity pool style and enjoy a nice swim whilst you sip on your favorite drink and enjoy the views.
A lot of poolsides in Accra tend to be crowded, especially during the weekends and in places like Aburi, however this place is not that well known at the moment so do take advantage and visit!
They do not have any website available as of yet, but you can find them on booking.com.
Hillburi
Hillburi is another option with an infinity pool located in Aburi. As opposed to Aburi Bio, it is more well-known (also offers more rooms on site) so the pool tends to get more crowded.
You will find yourself at a very tropical setting, with landscaping and the infinity pool which overlooks the Akwapim mountain range. Looking down at the pool gives the impression that the pool is lodged at the edge of the cliff while providing a beautiful picturesque view of the evergreen hills with Accra at a distance.
Prices for using the infinity pool are at 60GHS (week days) and 70GHS on weekends and public holidays. Children under the age of 12, pay 40GHS on a weekday and 50GHS on a weekend. You can use the pool until 6pm.
Bridge View resort
From Elmina, to Aburi, and now all the way to Akosombo! Bridge View Resort is more of a luxury option (although you can also make a day trip out of it to just enjoy their pool!).
You will find yourself right at the feet of Lake Volta, home of the Akosombo Dam, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the world and one of the top places to visit in Ghana. The swimming pool is a three tiers infinity pool, overlooking the Adam Bridge which is the perfect picture spot.
This is definitely a more expensive option than Aburi Bio or Golden Hill Parker hotel, with the cheapest room rate being $250/night (on weekdays) and $300 during weekends. For use of their swimming pool, best if you give them a call or email. Prices for food and drink range from 20GHS for a small club beer for example, and 80GHS for a Caesar salad.
Zaina Lodge
Fancy a luxurious safari getaway that also offers an amazing infinity pool? Zaina Lodge is your place. This is West Africa’s first luxury safari lodge. Located in Mole National Park in the Northern region of Ghana. The lodge elegantly blends a safari sensibility with modern amenities, but all with ecological business practices.
You can find 25 individually appointed tented chalets. Each on-suite facility includes both indoor and outdoor shower facilities with all other necessary amenities. And of course the amazing infinity pool, overlooking the ghanaian savannah – maybe spot an elephant or a zebra whilst taking a dip? This is definitely one of the top tourist sites in Ghana.
