The Palms Maisonette
- Up to 4 guests
- 2 bedrooms, 2 beds
- 2 bathrooms
A spacious two-bedroom maisonette across two floors, featuring a private garden courtyard, dedicated workspace, and a fully equipped kitchen. Ideal for families or longer stays.
Home truths
The building runs on generator during grid outages, which is most evenings. It is housed two floors below and audible as a low hum in the second bedroom, though not in the living room or main bedroom.
Ozumba Mbadiwe traffic builds heavily between 4pm and 8pm on weekdays. Journeys that take fifteen minutes at midday can take fifty in that window — worth planning around rather than being surprised by.
The third bedroom is genuinely smaller than the other two and takes a double rather than a king. It works well for a child or a single traveller.
Housekeeping visits on Mondays and Thursdays between 10am and midday. You can decline either visit by messaging us in advance.
There is no lift attendant after 10pm. The service lift requires a key fob, which is left in the apartment.

Arranged by us · Subject to availability
Late checkout
Stay until 6:00pm on your departure day rather than 11:00am. Useful when your flight leaves late and you would rather not spend the afternoon at the airport. We confirm availability against the following booking, so request it as early as you can.
Something else
Airport pickup, a stocked fridge on arrival, a cot, a driver for the week. Tell us what you need and we will tell you honestly whether we can arrange it.
About Victoria Island
Victoria Island is where Lagosdoes its business and, increasingly, where it eats. Once a residential district of low-rise houses and wide streets, it now carries most of the city’s corporate towers, the better restaurants, and a growing number of galleries. The result is a neighbourhood that runs on a weekday rhythm — busy and formal until seven, then loosening considerably.
For a returnee it has one obvious practical virtue: almost everything you will want is within a short drive, and the roads that matter are among the best maintained in the city. Ozumba Mbadiwe and Ahmadu Bello run the length of the island and are lit through the night. Restaurants cluster around Akin Adesola and Adeola Odeku, both a few minutes from the apartment.
It is not a quiet neighbourhood in the way Ikoyi is quiet. There is construction, there is traffic, and there is noise on Friday nights. What it offers instead is proximity — to the airport road, to the island’s restaurants, and to the lagoon itself.
Where you will be
The apartment and Murtala Muhammed International, so you can see the journey before you land.
- The Palms Maisonette, Victoria Island
- Murtala Muhammed International (LOS)
Getting here from the airport
Roughly 55–75 minutes outside peak. Allow two hours if you land between 4pm and 8pm on a weekday.
Murtala Muhammed International to Ikeja
Leave the international terminal and join the airport road towards Oshodi. Dual carriageway the whole way, resurfaced and well lit.
Ikeja to Third Mainland Bridge
Through Oshodi and onto the bridge approach. This is the stretch that determines your journey time — free-flowing at midday, slow from mid-afternoon. Surface is sound but uneven in places.
Third Mainland Bridge to Ikoyi
The long crossing over the lagoon. Well maintained and fast once you are on it. Lighting is good across the span, with a short unlit section near the Adekunle exit.
Ikoyi to Ozumba Mbadiwe
Across Falomo Bridge onto Victoria Island, then right along the lagoon front. Smooth surface, heavy signage, busy but orderly.
Ozumba Mbadiwe to the apartment
Turn off onto a short residential side street. The last hundred metres are paved but narrow, with speed bumps. The gate is manned around the clock and the security team holds your name on arrival.
