Access is by road: Busua is about 30 km west of Sekondi-Takoradi on a paved road from Sekondi, and the resort is roughly a 30-minute drive from Takoradi, though one beach guide gives about 45 minutes by car. The resort lists free transfers to and from Takoradi Airport for parties of 10 or fewer guests, more than 100 self-parking spaces, and taxis or private transfers by arrangement. No step-free or wheelchair accessibility information is published, and phone numbers differ between official-looking sites, so contact details should be confirmed directly.
