The Villa, White Sands

One word - AMAZBALLS! hahaha! (c/o LC)

Absolutely felt like we were some where else and in our own world for a weekend. The girls and I spent an overnight at the villa at White Sands. We had our own butler and our private pool which was just fabulous.

 

Lunch time! :) We  had lunch brought to us at the villa. 

Our villa at night

Dinner at the restaurant. Absolutely divine! Our waiter, Oscar was a delight. 

In the morning, we had breakfast by the private beach. 

It was pricey though, rates are in Euros. Also you have to be endorsed by a member in order to book a room there. So VIP-ish huh? :)

Worth every penny!

Firefly, Osu, Accra

The first time I heard about this place, I was in Duplex hanging out with a friend. One of the owners, who knew my friend, sold to me that the next big thing would be Firefly.

True enough, in December 2011, Firefly opened. It was swarmed by the everyone who lived in Ghana and everyone who was in town for the Christmas season. 

Chill atmosphere. It was really crowded when they first opened. Bouncers were having to get people to queue so that the lounge wouldn't get so packed.

I think it's a great spot to have happy hour. It's intimate enough for a close chit chat but at the same time, when it hits midnight on a weekend, the place can turn to a party.

So far my favorite cocktail is the Watermelon Dacquiri. :) it's yummmmmy!

Duplex, Osu, Accra

DUPLEX - too many good times to count!

I got to know about Duplex through a good friend of mine, who kept insisting that Duplex was a good spot to hang with a group of friends and have drinks before clubbing. So I thought, why not go check it out since in Ghana, we're always looking for new stuff to do and new places to go to!

From the first day I stepped into Duplex (3 years ago) until now, I've been hooked!

The former Duplex was located in Osu, behind Papaye, near Ryan's Irish Pub.  It was small, comfy and casual. If you went to Duplex on a weekend, you're bound to see the same "duplex" crowd, which worked out well for most people. It was easier to make friends and get to know people. Upstairs was a lounge type area where some of us would do chill and feed our drunk faces with some good pizza or steak sandwich.The bar downstairs - oh wow - it's where you wanna be for the good times to start!

 Doodoo shots! A fav of mine 2010 - WILDDDDD nights!

 Lining up the gooodsss!

 Taking shots that I still don't know the name of - we called it 'Blue'

Early January 2012, the loyal Duplex junkies said good bye to the old duplex and we partied into a new Duplex!  Bigger, louder and is giving even more reason to party harder.

The regulars. The newcomers. The old and the young. Party party party on.
Since this spot opened, it's been, and I quote a good friend -  BUMPY.

Ok, so the owner and bartender -  Bob. Everyone LOVES him. Chill guy, fun and yes, he's that bartender who you can talk to about anything!

The Duplex team in general, is a friendly and very accommodating team! :) props to Diona and Mihi!!! (if you like amaretto sours, Mihi is your guy)

 Shot glasses from different countries - I gave 3 of those! :) more to come!

 Bar is now at least 3 times longer than the old one :)

 VIP area :)

 Duplex has the BEST Mojito in town. A must try when you go there.

So, if you're looking to dance, drink, be in good company - Duplex awaits you!

See you there :) Cheers.
