No more boring ... Do something different this Valentine.

Are you tired of doing the same old things every Valentine's day? Do you fancy something different for a change? Newaccra Lifestyle Magazine has done all the hardwork for you. We called our friends at Pleasure Sights, a rising tourism company, and asked them to give us a roundup of five cool places that will simply blow you out of this world. They showed us these sweet spots! 

So  go on, call your special someone and check out these spots on Val's day!


Love overlooking the lake
VRA Maritime Club – Akosombo

Picture you two huddled up on a wonderful lakefront well-hidden from the troubles of the city. No noise, no loud music, just you and your boo.

You get watersports and a good meal. If you fancy a cruise, ‘Ohemaa LXI' is available. Its takes 20 people, so you can call up 9 other couples for an all-couple-cruise! 


True love is natural

BeyinBeach Resort – Western Region

Celebrate your love on maybe one of the cleanest beachfronts in Africa! Your bed will be in a traditional hut for a village experience and you will enjoy the sweet breeze as you take a romantic walk on the night beach hand in hand.

What's more, you can visit the village on silt (Nzulezu) or take a sea trip to sight whales. And oh, you might sight turtles on your night beach walk! 


The theme of love

Villa Monticello – Airport – Accra

If you are looking for a touch of class to impress that important person, you should check out this plush hotel that has themed rooms.  Start by choosing a theme that touches his / her heart. Then spoil them with a meal in the good looking dining area. 

The rest of the night is up to you... 





Love in a Japanese pot

Santoku Restaurant and Bar – Villagio – Accra 

This surprise will blow the candles out for a new love who appreciates something different, like Japanese cuisine!

A high class Suchi Bar that has  a well-defined package for two persons. The décor is so different and cool, your friends will keep asking where you took those pictures. This is a cute start to a romantic weekend !  


The heights of love

AbraErica Hospitalities and Lodge – Amedzofe, Volta Region

Imagine passionate nights, breathtaking views and extremely cool weather from a mountaintop. 

Then add sightseeing or photographing Mount Gemi, Ote Falls or the Biakpa mountain paradise, monkeys at the Tafi Atome Monkey sanctuary and live Borborbor music in the evening. 

He / she will remember this for a long time!

 
So go ahead, make this valentine truly unforgettable.Remember no one is in charge of your happiness, but you!
