Holiday rentals in Accra, Ghana

Accra has a very vibrant nightlife scene, and you’ll find clubs and live venues all over the city. A good option is to choose an Accra holiday rental that will put you in the centre of the action, in the Labone neighbourhood. Here you’ll find one of Accra’s most popular night spots, the Twist Lounge on Labone Crescent, where you dance the night away to the latest Ghanaian hits or watch the latest local bands. In the adjacent Odorkor neighbourhood is Republic Bar & Grill, another highly-rated pub and eatery that makes a great hangout. It has great local food specialities and exotic cocktails on the menu. Or head to The Castle Lounge on the corner of Agbon Boi Street and Nii Asere Ayite Road for its salsa nights.

For the best access to family activities and fun things for kids to do on holiday in Accra, the Legon neighbourhood is a very good choice. It’s near to some of the most prominent attractions in Accra, like the National Museum of Ghana on Barnes Road, where kids can learn to weave traditional Kente cloth. The National Theatre on Liberia Road has a packed programme of family shows, including kids’ pantomimes. Another good neighbourhood for family holiday rentals in Accra is Legon. Here you can take the kids to the Legon Botanical Gardens, located on Haatso-Atomic Road, which has canopy walkways and obstacle courses that children will love. EPP Bookstore and Funhouse offers exactly that – books for adults to browse through and fun activities for kids. It’s in the same area, on IPS Road.

Choosing a holiday rental in Accra, like a self-catering facility or apartment, or a private home is a great option that offers more freedom and self-sufficiency than staying in a hotel. If you choose a self-catering option you can really explore the tastes of Ghana. The city has some wonderful markets where you can get fish caught that day, local produce and traditional Ghanaian ingredients with which to experiment back at your lodgings. Or you can simply buy fresh, ready-cooked food and treat yourself to your own private traditional Ghanaian buffet. The sprawling Makola Market is one such place, offering a bustling and heady shopping experience of tastes and aromas. You’ll also have a lot more privacy, as you’ll have the entire apartment or self-catering private house to yourselves. There’s much more space than in a typical hotel room, as you’ll typically have a few rooms for the whole family to spread out – booking a hotel suite like that will be very expensive. You’ll also enjoy more personalised service, as private holiday accommodation and self-catering lodges are usually run by individual owners, who take great care over their guests. You’ll be the centre of attention, rather than one of dozens of daily guests arriving and departing a hotel each day.

The average length of a holiday rental booking in Accra is 8 nights.

The cheapest month to rent a holiday apartment in Accra is usually January. The cost of your apartment or rental property can be around 55% cheaper in January vs. the high season.
