Places to stay in Busua Beach

www.africanrainbowresort.com Nice mix between high end and family hotel, run by a surfer!

greenturtlelodge.com Cool EcoLodge located on an isolated beach ½ hour from Busua
hideoutlodge.com Chill place to stay, walking distance from Busua

There are many more places to stay at Busua Beach- they are mostly for budget travelers and just don’t have websites! The ones we recommend are The Dadson Lodge and Peter’s Place- all are on or near the beach and within 100yds of Black Star Surf Shop.
