The management of Maaha Beach Resort has confirmed that the fire which broke out on its premises on Tuesday, May 28, 2025, which destroyed one of its buildings originated from a neighboring resort before spreading to their facility due to the close proximity of the buildings.
The incident, which occurred around 8:00 PM, damaged one of the resort’s 25 structures, but officials have reassured guests and stakeholders that the resort remains fully operational. In a statement signed by General Manager Sylvia Osei-Mensah, the management emphasized that the fire was quickly contained, stating, “Despite the swift spread of the fire, only one block adjacent to the perimeter wall was affected.” The statement also sought to correct misinformation circulating in some media and blog reports, which had exaggerated the extent of the damage.
Authorities are now working with the neighboring resort to investigate the cause of the fire and implement additional safety measures to prevent future incidents.
Meanwhile, Maaha Beach Resort has expressed gratitude to the local fire service for their prompt response, which minimized damage. Guests have been advised to proceed with their bookings as usual, with management assuring them that all amenities and services remain unaffected.
The resort has also pledged to support if need be to affected staff and guests during the recovery process while maintaining its commitment to safety and excellence.

We wish to officially address the unfortunate fire incident that occurred on May 28, 2025, at
approximately 8:00 PM, which resulted in the one out of 25 structures being razed down.
This has become necessary following false publications and distortions by some bloggers on
social media and other media outlets about the fire incident causing fear and panic among the
public.
The fire originated from a nearby resort and rapidly spread due to the close proximity of our
premises. Despite swift intervention by emergency services and our internal safety team, our
block next to the wall was affected by the flames. However, with about 180 rooms available
currently, operations remain unaffected.
We are grateful to report that there were no casualties or injuries, and all guests and staff
were evacuated safely and efficiently. We extend our deepest appreciation to the emergency
responders and community members who assisted in containing the fire and ensuring the
safety of everyone involved.
While this is a challenging time for us, we remain strong and focused on rebuilding, and
remain committed to serving our guests safely as possible. The safety and well-being of our
guests, staff, and community remain our utmost priority.
Management wishes to place on record that Maaha Beach Resort is in business and appeals to
its customers to continue to patronize their services.
Management also reminds clients and the general public to take advantage of our on-going
reduced rate promo which will expire at the end of June 2025.
