Occupying a peaceful spot just outside Lagos town centre, this family-friendly home is a refreshing coastal escape. There’s a sheltered garden, a private pool (heated upon request) and a covered pergola with a 'big green egg' barbecue – perfect for lingering sunset meals. It’s also extremely well located, with restaurants, bars and shops just a twenty-five-minute walk away. Meia Praia beach is also within walking distance, although we recommend hiring a car if you’d like to explore the beautiful beaches further along the coast.
