Every Lagosian knows — the weekend is sacred. And sometimes, all you need is a short trip to feel renewed.

Head east to Epe for calm waters and fresh seafood, or drive to Badagry to trace Nigeria’s heritage through its museums and coastline. For nature lovers, Omu Resort (Bogije) mixes adventure and family fun with wildlife, rides, and water parks.

If you crave altitude, Epe Resort & Spa offers green views and spa bliss, while La Campagne Tropicana serves rustic charm with a touch of luxury.

For something different, explore Abeokuta, home of Olumo Rock — a climb that rewards you with stories and panoramic views. Within two hours, you can leave the city rush behind and reconnect with nature, culture, and yourself.

Your next mini-vacation is closer than you think — all you have to do is take the drive.
