Accommodation

Ghana beach house

Few gap year students will have the opportunity of combining a life enhancing working experience with such a beautiful place to stay.

The beach house is situated on Langma beach, an empty stretch of sand just one hour's drive from the capital Accra. A fishing village is 20 minutes stroll along the sand, and the canoes of fisherman setting off and returning from fishing trips are a familiar site from the veranda of the house.

The accommodation incorporates the typical features of Ghanaian beach houses with a courtyard swimming pool, tennis courts and stables.

The beach house was designed by Andrew and Aurore Down of Archplan Architects London. “I had a traditional Ghanaian house in mind when designing this beautiful building” Ghanaian native Aurore explains (see sidebar).

If that doesn't cater for the needs of the most demanding gap year students, then we don't know what will!

Although the house boasts many facilities, there is still a sense of Ghanaian realism brought by the friendly local staff.

Live like a Ghanaian

In traditional Ghanaian houses, several families lived in the same house around a communal central courtyard.

The courtyard at the Langma Beach house is modeled on this traditional design. The swimming pool is a more contemporary touch.
