Our Story

More than a resort; a royal enclave and cultural sanctuary.

"Located in Gomoa Nsuaem, near Winneba, in the Central Region of Ghana, The Crown Forest is more than a resort; it is a royal enclave and cultural sanctuary."

Spanning almost 900 acres of lush unspoiled landscape and our mission is to promote eco-conscious living, preserving nature, celebrating culture, honoring heritage, and offering guests a tranquil retreat away from the bustle of city life. The land served as a significant passage during the TransAtlantic slave trade.
