Morning to afternoon
7am: breakfast at Sao Cafe on Fola Osibo — akara and pap for $6, or a full English for $12. 9am: Uber to Lekki Conservation Centre ($4). Do the canopy walk before the queue builds. Out by 11am. 11.30am: Nike Art Gallery ($4 Uber), 90 minutes. 1.30pm: lunch at RSVP on Akin Adesola — the wagyu burger and a passion fruit cocktail, $28. This uses your whole morning and leaves you fed, sun-shielded and culturally lightly educated.
Afternoon to night
3pm: Uber across the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge to Landmark Beach ($6). Pay $8 gate fee, spend the afternoon at Shiro or Cocoons ($20 for two cocktails). Sunset over the Atlantic hits around 6.30pm year-round. 7.30pm: Uber back to Lekki ($8). Dinner at Ilona Lounge or NokByAlara (book ahead), $35 to $60. 11pm: If you have energy left, Uber to Quilox on Ozumba Mbadiwe — cover $30, drinks $12. Bed by 3am.
Questions, answered
Can I skip the beach club?
Yes — swap for a sunset at Radisson Blu's terrace bar for a calmer, cheaper alternative.
Is 24 hours enough?
For a taste, yes. For a proper Lekki visit, three nights minimum.
