Rent a holiday apartment or holiday home in Lagos

If you would like to rent a holiday apartment in Lagos, first decide what you want to focus on during your trip. Lagos is considered Nigeria’s largest city and an important economic centre. At the same time, Lagos combines metropolitan life with the Atlantic coast and beach areas. If you would like to combine both, choose the location of your accommodation based on which focus features more often in your travel plans.

Key facts on the subject

• Urban identity: Lagos is considered Nigeria’s largest city and an important economic centre.
• Landscape: The Lagos context includes metropolitan life as well as the Atlantic coast and beach areas.
• Geographical orientation: Lagos as a city and Lagos State as a federal state are different designations.

Combine the city and coast as a travel idea

For a stay that combines urban life and the Atlantic coast, the location of your accommodation is a planning factor in its own right. Choose it based on which focus features more often in your travel plans. If you are travelling with children of different ages, you can also make this decision based on your preferred daily rhythm: should the focus be more on urban impressions or on coastal areas?

Lekki as a separate area for your accommodation search

Lekki is located on a peninsula between the lagoon and the Atlantic. Its earlier local history is connected with fishing, agriculture, mangroves, wetlands and coconut palms. If you would like to shape your stay in Lagos around this lagoon and Atlantic location as well as the local coastal history, you can compare Lekki as a separate area when searching for accommodation.

Take the size of the Lagos area into account

The size of the Lagos area makes different transport routes relevant; in addition to roads, ferry and water routes also play a role. If your trip includes several Lagos-related points of interest, you should therefore not choose the location of your accommodation independently of the planned travel area. For arrival and daily planning, it makes sense to decide on your preferred focus before searching for accommodation.

Rent accommodation in Lagos: plan the location before the type of accommodation

When searching, you can consider holiday apartments, holiday homes and hotels alongside one another based on your travel plans. Compare the available types of accommodation according to whether their location supports your urban or coastal focus. If Lekki suits your travel plans because of its distinctive location and history, include this area as a separate point of comparison.
