The Big Blue Resort in Kasoa | Everything You Need to Know

Finding staycation experiences in and around Accra can be challenging. I’ve struggled to find hotels or resorts that had a unique offering and felt like good value for money without being too far out of the city. I was recently a guest of the Big Blue Resort, an hour and a half drive away from central Accra and a short drive from Kasoa, and I found it to fill that gap of a great beach staycation that still felt like a break from hustling city living. Read on for my experience and a generous discount they’re offering this October!

Arriving at the Big Blue resort, I was struck by the architecture and how intentional the design of the space was. The resort offers a variety of types of suites which each have a unique architectural element to them. Four suites, two junior suites and two family suites, are designed in a communal space called the African Village which takes inspiration from traditional building and design techniques, featuring thatched roofs, cane furniture and a dark tan color palette.Ā 

In another section, four suites make up the Sea View villas, with design reminiscent of a sea front property. The main section of the resort, where the main pool and dining area are located. are designed to have the feeling of a beach club, with cabanas, beaded and macrame curtains, and the white plaster finish you might find on the Swahili coast. Ā 

We were greeted with a warm welcome and assisted to our rooms by the staff of the resort whose easy smiles and helpful demeanours made our time there relaxing.

SUITES AT BIG BLUE RESORT

Accommodations at the Big Blue take the form of a variety of suites and standard rooms. You can make a selection between Garden Suites, Suites at the African Village, Sea View Villas, a Presidential Suite, and a number of standard rooms that the resort is adding to.Ā 

The Garden Suites have the widest range with 8 suites available, and you can choose between 4 African Village chalets and 4 Sea View Villas. The relatively smaller number of suites available mean that the resort doesn’t feel overrun with guests, and you can experience the relaxing holiday you dreamed of. Ā Ā 

BIG BLUE RESORT DINING EXPERIENCE

The food at the Big Blue was 10/10. Breakfast was served with options of waffles, pancakes, eggs, juices, teas, you name it. The meals are all prepared on order and not buffet style, so you do have to let the staff know about 30 minutes early what you would want for your meal. All the food we had was delicious and the fish in particular was stellar.Ā 

The Big Blue also has an in-house bar where the bartenders craft delicious cocktails and mocktails for your enjoyment.Ā 

The Big Blue Resort is a lovely place to hide away for a weekend, sitting by one of its four pools with a book and a cocktail, walking along the beach, or indulging your adventurous side in a kayak or horse riding experience. With such a good location from Accra, and the attention to detail that is evident in every aspect of the resort, it should definitely be in the running for your next holiday.
