 Inagbe Grand Resorts: Lagos’s Island Escape of Luxury & Nature

Tucked between the Lagos Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, Inagbe Grand Resorts & Leisure is a haven of serenity, style, and local pride. Created by Gran Imperio Resorts (a branch of Gran Imperio Group), with deep collaboration from the Esinmikan Royal Family, this resort is more than just a place to stay—it’s a statement about what Nigerian leisure can and should be.

🌿 Origins & Vision

Founded by Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the revered Ooni of Ife, Inagbe Grand Resorts is the realization of his passion for tourism, culture, and sustainable development in Nigeria. Long before ascending the throne, Ogunwusi was known for his excellence in real estate, architecture, and hospitality. His dream was simple yet profound — to create a destination that showcases the beauty of Nigeria, the warmth of its people, and the richness of its environment.

Inagbe Grand Resorts was built not just as a luxury retreat, but as a symbol of possibility — a message that Nigeria can rival any international destination when it comes to class, comfort, and creativity. Every structure, from the chalets to the lounges, reflects a blend of modern design and traditional craftsmanship.

Locally sourced materials, artistic carvings, and natural textures bring the space to life — offering visitors a perfect balance between heritage and high living.

The Ooni’s vision extends beyond hospitality. It is about empowerment and preservation — creating jobs for local communities, empowering artisans, and protecting the natural environment that surrounds the island. Inagbe stands today as proof that tourism, when done right, can celebrate culture while building an economy rooted in pride and purpose.

Here are some of the standout features that make Inagbe Grand Resorts more than just a beach resort: Chalets & Rooms: There are 152 chalets, divided into lagoon-facing and exclusive Atlantic Ocean–facing rooms. The décor tends toward local craftsmanship and materials.

Floating Lounge & VIP Jetty: With scenic water views, these help set the resort apart.


Recreation & Nature: Swimming pools, spas, boat cruises, indoor sports (like table tennis, squash, badminton), beach activities, and relaxing walks. The environment is designed to feel like stepping out of Lagos’s hustle and into nature.

Conference & Function Halls: There's a large multi-purpose hall (1,500-seat), suitable for weddings, conferences, retreats, etc. Perfect for both leisure and corporate events.

Access & Value: The Explore / Loyalty Card

To make the resort more accessible, Inagbe launched the Explore Card or loyalty programme:

Users can buy points (for example, 25,000 points at ~N2 per point) and use them for accommodation, food and beverage, activities, etc.

The card gives discounts depending on how many points you buy—making leisure more affordable

Why It Resonates

Proximity: Close enough to Lagos to be convenient, yet far enough to feel like you’ve escaped. Boat ride adds to the adventure.



Cultural Identity: Use of local, crafts, traditional design, local furniture—all help give the resort a distinctly Nigerian flavor. It’s not just luxury imported; it’s luxury built from home.

Varied Appeal: It works for families, couples, corporate retreats, and fun seekers. There’s something for most types of travellers.

Employment & Local Impact: Besides attracting tourists, the resort creates jobs (300+ workers), supports local artisans, and boosts the economy around the island.

Things to Know / Areas to Watch


Boat Access: While part of the charm, getting there involves water travel—weather and tide may affect timing.

Phase Development: Some facilities are in phases; not everything promised may be available immediately. Planners continue to expand.

Cost vs. Expectation: Though the Explore Card helps, some premium spaces (ocean-facing rooms, exclusive amenities) might still be pricey. Good idea to check what you're getting in your booking.

Final Thought

If you’re looking for a place to unwind without leaving the Lagos area, Inagbe Grand Resorts & Leisure delivers a strong mix of luxury, nature, and culture. Whether it’s a weekend escape, a romantic break, or a team-building retreat, the resort shows what Nigerian hospitality and creative vision can offer.

  The Quiet Power of Micro-Moments: How Small Interactions Shape Big Outcomes In a world obsessed with productivity hacks, grand gestures, and “life-changing” strategies, it’s easy to overlook the tiny fragments of time that quietly shape our days — micro-moments. A micro-moment isn’t about sitting down for an hour-long conversation or scheduling a grand event. It’s those fleeting seconds when you make eye contact, send a quick “thinking of you” message, or hold the door open for someone. On their own, they seem insignificant. But stitched together, micro-moments create the fabric of relationships, trust, and even opportunity. What Exactly Is a Micro-Moment? Psychologists often describe micro-moments as brief, high-value interactions that create connection. They can last just five to thirty seconds, but in that sliver of time, emotions transfer, trust builds, and bonds deepen. Think about: The barista who remembers your name. A colleague who smiles at you before a stressful meeting...

  Chief Abdulfatai Adekilekun Badmus: The Life and Legacy of Osogbo’s Tireless Builder When the Ataoja of Osogbo, Jimoh Oyetunji Olanipekun, conferred two prestigious titles on Chief Abdulfatai Ajadi Adekilekun Badmus, it was not out of formality or sentiment—it was recognition built on decades of service, sacrifice, and unshakable love for Osogbo. Born on May 28, 1941, Chief Badmus devoted much of his 83 years to education, community development, and public service. His legacy continues to shape the landscape and spirit of Osogbo today.
