There’s something to be said for a break that doesn’t involve long flights, complicated planning, or too much admin. At Lakowe Lakes Golf and Country Estate — just 90 minutes from Lagos — the promise is simple: peace, space, and comfort, all within easy reach.

Set across 308 hectares of manicured green lawns, shimmering lakes, and tree-lined trails, this private estate offers far more than just golf. With a wide mix of activities, thoughtfully designed accommodation, and year-round packages suited to couples, families, and weekenders, it’s become a go-to destination for those craving a quick escape — without the hassle of flights or long drives. This season, the Summer Splash & Stay offer makes getting away easier than ever.

A Few Days Away, Done Right

Running until 9 September 2025, the Summer Splash & Stay package is Lakowe’s headline seasonal offer — designed for couples, families, or groups looking for a reset before the year picks up again. The three-night experience includes daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a 60-minute Swedish massage per adult, and a swimming or tennis lesson for each guest. Evenings bring an open-air Movie Under the Stars, and complimentary room upgrades are included where available.

Families are well looked after too: children aged 0–6 stay and eat free, while kids aged 6–12 can join at a discounted nightly rate. With a range of accommodation options — including Executive and Luxury Rooms at The Lodge on 18, and Lakeside Cottages and Apartments that sleep two to four guests — the experience can be as social or as private as you like.

Whether you’re looking for a quiet break with your partner, a low-fuss family weekend, or a short trip with friends, Summer Splash & Stay offers just the right level of ease. Full details, including room categories and pricing, can be found here.

What You’ll Find on the Estate

While Lakowe Lakes is known for its 18-hole championship golf course, there’s plenty to enjoy without ever picking up a club. The estate offers:

Cycling and walking trails

Paddle boating and pontoon cruises

Catch-and-release fishing across 14 scenic manmade lakes

A wellness-focused gym with group fitness classes

Tennis courts and open-air yoga

Dedicated kids’ play areas

With fast Wi-Fi, gated security, and a host of family-friendly amenities, the estate blends the freedom of the outdoors with the convenience of hotel-style services.

Dining is just as versatile, with multiple options to suit your mood — from relaxed poolside meals at Revivo Restaurant & Bar, to sundowners and light bites at The Winebar, or a more refined experience at Restaurant on 18, located inside the Lodge.

Weekend highlights include open-air cinema nights and cosy bonfires — ideal for adding a touch of atmosphere and light social energy to your stay. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with a group, your time here can be as laid-back or as active as you like.

Not Travelling Just Yet? Two Year-Round Options

For guests planning ahead or considering a future stay, Lakowe Lakes also offers two standalone packages that run year-round.

The Honeymoon Package is available to couples within 12 months of their wedding date and includes a two-night stay with full-board meals, romantic décor, a bottle of wine, and a couple’s massage. Guests can choose between a lakeside picnic or a candlelit dinner, with early check-in and late check-out offered where available. The package is available in two tiers — Platinum and Gold — depending on room category, and is designed for a calm, comfortable celebration without the pressure of travel.

The Serene Adventure Escape, on the other hand, is built for guests seeking a playful, low-key experience. It includes a two-night stay on the estate and a 30-minute deluxe pedal boating session, complete with music, binoculars, board games, and a mini picnic basket. It’s a simple way to add something different to a short stay — especially for couples or first-time visitors.

Three Offers, One Easy Escape

What makes Lakowe Lakes work — whether for a weekend or a mid-year break — is its mix of nature, comfort, and flexibility. Guests can stay in, go exploring, book a massage, or plan absolutely nothing at all. It’s the kind of place that works for many different reasons — and for all the moments in between.

If you’re still deciding what to do with the last stretch of summer — or want to block off a date for later in the year — there are now three great reasons to take a few days for yourself.
