Nike Ambassador Guest House

Top choice in Nigeria


It's essential to book ahead to stay in this wonderfully tasteful home, decorated with artworks inside and out. It's centred around an internal courtyard, where you can read at low sofas beneath the paintings. Vivid sculptures made from recycled metal dot the garden. You eat breakfast out here with the peacock, and the in-house team can arrange trips and meals.

They can take you to Nike's traditional Yoruba craft workshops for Nigerian youth as well as the village where local women make traditional black soap. They can also take you to the sacred grove and to Ile-Ife.
