Boulevard Hotels & Resorts Set To Open Ecobeach Resort, Its First Holiday Resort In Nigeria

Boulevard Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to open Boulevard EcoBeach Resort, its first holiday resort in Nigeria, located at Okun Mopo, Ajah, Lagos, an area known for its long stretches of beaches and growing potential as a leisure and tourism destination.

Designed to deliver a distinctive combination of beachfront relaxation, entertainment, recreation, wellness, dining and business facilities, EcoBeach Resort is set to introduce an exciting new hospitality experience to Lagos. The resort aims to appeal to families, couples, groups of friends, holidaymakers, corporate organisations and visitors seeking a refreshing escape from the demands of everyday life.

A brand of Boulevard Hotels & Resorts, EcoBeach Resort represents an important milestone in the Group’s expansion into the holiday and leisure resort segment. It reflects Boulevard’s vision of developing distinctive hospitality destinations that go beyond traditional hotel accommodation to offer integrated experiences for leisure, entertainment, social gatherings and business engagements.

The resort will feature 83 guest rooms and an extensive collection of amenities designed to make it a destination in its own right. Planned facilities include six swimming pools, exciting water slides, recreational games and activities, ocean-view tents, a spa, a fully equipped gymnasium, a shopping arcade, multiple bars and dedicated meeting rooms.

One of the resort’s signature attractions will be its rooftop restaurant overlooking the ocean, offering guests a unique dining experience complemented by expansive ocean views and the relaxing atmosphere of Lagos’ coastline. The restaurant is envisioned as an attractive setting for casual dining, romantic occasions, social gatherings, celebrations and memorable sunset experiences.

The shopping arcade will add another dimension to the resort’s offering, complementing its dining, entertainment and leisure facilities and contributing to a vibrant environment for guests and visitors.

The Resort is being developed around the concept of an integrated holiday destination where guests can enjoy accommodation, recreation, dining, wellness and entertainment in one location.

With six swimming pools, water slides and a variety of recreational games and activities, the resort is designed to offer an engaging experience for families, children, young adults and groups seeking fun and relaxation. Ocean-view tents will provide additional opportunities for guests to appreciate the coastal surroundings, while the spa and gymnasium will cater to those seeking wellness and fitness experiences during their stay.

The resort’s bars, rooftop restaurant and other planned facilities will provide spaces for socialising, relaxation and entertainment, making it suitable for weekend getaways, family holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, group outings and other special occasions.

Unlike conventional city hotels that primarily serve business travellers and overnight guests, Boulevard EcoBeach Resort is being positioned as a destination where the experience extends beyond the guest room. Visitors will be able to enjoy a combination of recreational activities, food and beverage experiences, shopping and relaxation within a single resort environment.

Its location at Okun Mopo, Ajah, offers an opportunity to showcase the leisure potential of Lagos’ coastal communities and provide residents and visitors with another option for enjoying a beachfront escape within the state.

Beyond its leisure and holiday offering, the Resort is designed to serve the corporate market through its meeting rooms, accommodation and recreational facilities.

The resort’s meeting rooms will support corporate meetings, strategy sessions, workshops, training programmes and small conferences. These facilities will allow organisations to combine productive business engagements with recreational activities and relaxation in a beachfront environment.

Companies will be able to organise corporate retreats, executive getaways, leadership workshops, departmental outings, staff engagement programmes and team-building activities, with opportunities to integrate formal meetings with swimming, recreational games, group activities and social dining.

By bringing together meeting facilities and leisure attractions, Eco Beach Resort aims to provide an alternative to conventional conference venues. Organisations will have the opportunity to create programmes that encourage collaboration, creativity, employee engagement and stronger working relationships while giving participants an opportunity to unwind.

This integrated approach will position the resort as a potential destination for businesses, professional associations, event planners and corporate groups seeking venues that combine accommodation, meetings, recreation and team bonding.

Whether for a company’s annual strategy retreat, a management planning session, a staff appreciation programme or a team-building getaway, Boulevard EcoBeach Resort is being designed to bring business and leisure together in one distinctive destination.

Commenting on the development, Ekene Nnabuihe, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Boulevard Hotels & Resorts, said:

“Boulevard EcoBeach Resort represents an exciting milestone in our journey to build a leading African hospitality group. We believe there is enormous potential to develop distinctive leisure destinations that meet the changing expectations of Nigerian travellers while creating new opportunities for domestic tourism.

“Our vision is to create more than a hotel. We want Boulevard EcoBeach Resort to become a destination where families can create lasting memories, couples can unwind, friends can enjoy themselves and corporate organisations can bring their teams together for retreats, strategy sessions and team-building experiences.

“Okun Mopo, Ajah, with its long stretches of beaches, provides an exciting setting for this concept. By combining comfortable accommodation with swimming pools, water slides, recreational games, ocean-facing dining, shopping, wellness and meeting facilities, we aim to create an environment where guests can enjoy a complete leisure or corporate experience without having to leave the resort.”

He added that the development reflects Boulevard Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to identifying opportunities in Nigeria’s hospitality market and introducing concepts that combine professionally managed accommodation with distinctive lifestyle and recreational experiences.

According to him, Boulevard EcoBeach Resort forms part of Boulevard Hotels & Resorts’ broader ambition to expand its portfolio through differentiated hospitality concepts that respond to evolving guest preferences and opportunities in African tourism.

As interest in local holidays, weekend escapes, experiential travel, and group leisure activities grows, destinations that combine accommodation with multiple attractions can offer guests more reasons to visit and extend their stays.

Through its planned combination of guest rooms, swimming pools, water slides, recreational games, ocean-view tents, wellness facilities, dining, shopping and corporate meeting spaces, Boulevard EcoBeach Resort aims to serve several market segments within one destination.

Its target audiences will include domestic tourists, families, couples, social groups, corporate organisations, and event planners seeking a venue that combines recreation, relaxation, and business activities.

The project also reflects the growing importance of hospitality concepts that cater to both overnight guests and visitors seeking day-use leisure experiences, subject to the resort’s operating arrangements and available packages.

Boulevard Hotels & Resorts is an African hospitality management and operating group focused on hotel management, franchising, development advisory, pre-opening services and hospitality technology.

The Group works with hotel owners and development partners to deliver professionally managed hospitality properties, supported by operating systems, service standards and strategic brand partnerships. Its portfolio and development pipeline reflect its ambition to expand across African markets and contribute to the growth of the continent’s hospitality and tourism industry.

Through its growing collection of hotel and resort concepts, Boulevard Hotels & Resorts seeks to create distinctive guest experiences while supporting the long-term development of professionally operated hospitality assets across Africa.
