quiet spots

It is true that Lagos is the heart of Nigeria and it lures a large crowd – visitors from other states and tourists from other parts of the world. As a result, the city is known for its traffic-clogged streets, the almost non-existent sense of space and calm. Those seeking serenity, however, should not be put off, the city still offers a number of  quiet spots where visitors can escape from the crowds and enjoy a more sedate environment.

Jovago.com, Africa’s No.1 online hotel booking site has listed a few places where travelers can escape the hustle but still have a marvelous time.

La Campagne Tropicana Resort
A serene paradise located at Ikegan, Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area. The La Campagne Tropicana resort is barely two hours away from the busy crowds at the heart of Lagos. It is a luxury resort in Lagos made for quiet off-the-grid hideaways.

You can spend some quiet time alone or with a lover in this destination, enjoying such exciting activities as canoeing, hiking, hunting, horse riding, beach volleyball, beach football, snorkeling and ocean water fishing.

Lekki Conservation Centre
Located on Lekki Peninsula, the Lekki Conservation centre is one of the best places to escape from the hustling and bustling of Lagos life. The expanse land of Lekki conservation facing Chevron directly, about 78 hectare of reserved forest, gives you a chance to take a trip into the jungle where you get to experience wildlife and biodiversity first hand.

The gallery offers an exhibition of modern and contemporary art as well as a serene environment for meditation if you are not really into art.

Atican Beach
A private beach located along Abraham Adesanya Road, Ajah, Lagos, Atican Beach is a beautiful relaxation spot. Its white fine sand, clean beach environment, surrounding lodging, and restaurant make it a striking destination for those seeking a bit of solitude and serenity or fun in a natural environment free of danger.

Within its confines lurk two mischievous baboons, one tied to a tree trunk and the other (younger) is allowed to roam free. The roaming baboon is about the greatest and most fascinating attraction at the Atican Beach.
