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, it stands as one of the fastest-growing nature and heritage destinations in Ghana. 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.
A Partnership of Shared Passion
The Crown Forest thrives under the shared leadership of HRH Nana Oworaba Obentsen I and co-owner, accomplished businessman Emmanuel Crenstil Addae. United by an unwavering commitment to preserve nature, celebrate culture, and honor heritage.
