The summer holiday is gradually coming to an end, and those plans to be ‘outside’ showing off your summer body may not have worked out. But it’s not too late to make the best of the days left. Here are five places worth checking out before the holiday wraps up:
ARTLAB GALLERY
If you’re an art lover or simply looking for a dose of inspiration, the Artlab Gallery is a hidden gem. Tucked inside the Adam & Eve luxury homeware store, the gallery offers a calm and creative space showcasing contemporary art pieces that you can admire or purchase.
CILANTRO
Food is one of the best ways to mark the end of summer, and Cilantro Lagos offers a premium dining experience. Nestled in Ikeja GRA, the restaurant is renowned for its flavorful Indian cuisine, accompanied by a lounge bar. The ambience is beautiful and spacious, with vegan-friendly options available.
KALAKUTA MUSEUM
For culture and music enthusiasts, the Kalakuta Museum in Allen is a must-visit. This three-storey building offers an intimate glimpse into the life and legacy of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti. From his personal belongings, instruments, and album covers to his bedroom, living room, and even tomb.
JARA MALL
Jara Mall is not your typical crowded shopping centre. Unlike the bigger malls, it creates a calmer environment where shoppers can take their time. The mall features a mix of eateries and restaurants that cater to diverse tastes, a fully stocked Jara supermarket, and entertainment spots like Game Buzz, a gaming house that adds a fun twist to the experience.
ICE CREAM FACTORY
End the holiday with a taste of sweetness at Ice cream Factory, Ikeja GRA. It is another premium dessert spot in Ikeja GRA. With a wide range of rich ice cream flavours, this shop also offers cakes, baked goodies, cold and hot beverages, and other desserts.
