Ikoyi: where the elite live

Ikoyi is the most exclusive residential island in Nigeria. Adjacent to Victoria Island but quieter and more controlled, it houses Nigeria's business elite, senior government officials, ambassadors and multinational CEOs.

Banana Island — artificial island connected to Ikoyi by a single controlled-access road. The most expensive real estate in Nigeria. Extraordinary private compounds and mansions. Very limited short-stay availability but exclusive when available.
Parkview Estate — Ikoyi's premier gated estate. 24-hour security, well-maintained roads, large plots.
Old Ikoyi — colonial-era mansions and mature trees. The closest thing to Muthaiga-meets-Chelsea in Nigeria.
1004 Housing Estate — one of Nigeria's most recognisable apartment complexes. Views over the lagoon. Well-managed, strong security.
