The Experience
A 5-day Lagos celebration — intentionally Detty, deeply curated
Welcome to your Lagos Homecoming — Detty December Edition — where celebration, culture, and curated connection meet.
This December, Ilé invites you to experience Lagos in its most electric season, with two back-to-back journeys designed to immerse you in the heart of the city — joyfully and intentionally.
December 19–24 kicks off the festive wave — high energy, full of movement, celebration, and cultural richness.
December 27–January 2 brings the grand finale — a curated close to your year, with unforgettable nights and a Lagos New Year’s Eve done the Ilé way.
Expect handpicked experiences you won’t find in any guidebook: private immersions, beachside moments, curated nightlife, boutique stays, and a community that feels like family by the end.
We take care of every detail — from airport pickup to your farewell toast — so you can arrive grounded, move with ease, and experience Lagos with depth and joy.
This isn’t just a trip. It’s a return — to celebration, to culture, and to the best version of yourself.
What's Included
Everything you need to feel at home — and have the time of your life.
From arrival to farewell, every detail is curated so you can land softly, move freely, and experience Lagos in full — from soulful moments to unforgettable nights.
Your Itinerary Overview
Arrival & Atmosphere
Welcome to Lagos.
From the moment you land, you’re in good hands.
We’ll meet you at the airport for a private transfer to your boutique hotel on Lagos Island — no stress, no confusion, just ease.
That evening, we kick things off with Ilé welcome drinks — a warm, celebratory gathering to meet your fellow travellers, take in the city’s energy, and set the vibe for an unforgettable week.
You’ll have time to refresh, settle in, and ease into the experience — with energy.
Culture, Creativity & Nightlife
Midweek is where energy meets intention.
Midweek is all about experiencing Lagos — fully, joyfully, and without the overwhelm.
Together, we’ll explore the city beyond the obvious — from cultural gems to curated culinary spots and Ilé-led moments designed to spark reflection, conversation, and connection.
There’s space for solo exploration or rest — but when we come together, it’s intentional. Think guided group experiences that honour both the city and your rhythm.
As the sun sets, we move into Lagos nightlife — curated the Ilé way. Expect vibrant energy, beautiful spaces, and zero stress. You’ll have the option to step into the scene with confidence, with us guiding the way.
Beach, Reflection & Return
We close with softness and celebration.
Our final full day takes us to the coast — where Lagos slows down and the water holds space for joy, rest, and reflection.
We’ll head to one of the city’s most loved beach spots for a curated day of ease — group transport, entry, and good vibes all included. Whether you want to soak up the sun, dance, or do absolutely nothing, this is your moment to exhale.
That evening, we gather one last time for a shared meal or farewell toast — a moment to laugh, reflect, and take in just how far you’ve come in a few unforgettable days.

Our Promise
Curated Lagos
We don’t follow the crowd. Every detail of Detty December with Ilé is handpicked — from where we go to how we move — to give you a version of Lagos most never get to experience.
These are curated, culture-rich moments designed for joy, depth, and connection. You won’t find them in your guidebook — but you’ll carry them with you, long after the week ends.
Built for the Visionary in You
Ilé creates space for big ideas. Whether you're seeking clarity, creative renewal, or entrepreneurial inspiration, this trip includes intentional moments to reflect, connect, and recharge—with people who get it.
A Soft Landing with Substance
Yes, it’s luxe. But it’s also layered. Boutique stays, private drivers, and concierge service make space for joy, rest, and ease. But beyond that? This is a trip designed to ground you—in your roots, your rhythm, and your reason.
Giving Back is Built In
With every Ilé trip, we reinvest into education and opportunity. A portion of profits supports Path to Possibilities, a UK-Nigerian charity changing lives through education. Your experience is part of a much bigger story.
