About LEMON FAMILY

YOUR STAY WITH US DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE OTHERS

It all began in 2011, when two men and their families from two different continents were brought together by chance. What started as a friendship soon grew into a strong bond, leading us to purchase a piece of land with a shared dream: to create something truly special.

Our vision was simple yet powerful — to build a place where guests’ Dreams Come True, where we could give back to others, and where our children — our future successors — would feel proud of the legacy their fathers began.

Today, Kofi, as CEO and co-owner, oversees the operations of all Lemon Group companies, while David, in his role as a Developmental Chief in Elmina (Nana Ekow Ankama I.), is dedicated to philanthropic work that uplifts the community.
