Lagos: which area to stay
Lagos geography is split across islands, mainland, and rapidly developing corridors:
Victoria Island (VI) — business and diplomatic core. Banks, embassies, top restaurants, Bar Beach strip. Best for first visits and business.
Ikoyi — Lagos's wealthiest residential area. Quieter and more spacious than VI.
Lekki Phase 1 & 2 — the new Lagos. Newer apartment towers, lower prices than VI, excellent restaurants and entertainment.
Ikeja — near Murtala Muhammed International Airport. Ideal for transit stays and business visitors to mainland corporate HQs.
