Located in Buchanan City, about a two-hour drive from the nation’s capital, Monrovia, Elizabeth Village and Resort is a luxurious place that offers the perfect leisure we all desire. The village, sitting on a peninsula perched atop the Benson River, is the first resort in Liberia built from mud, and are designed in the oval or rondavel style. The village is built and solely owned by Liberian entrepreneur Hesta Baker, who said the idea behind the village, nicknamed ‘luxury meets culture,’ is to promote Liberia’s culture. “When I was building the village, I decided it should be different from other resorts in the country. Hesta Baker noted that the realization of this vision is a legacy to her great grandmother, Elizabeth Moore Johnson, after who the resort is named.
