Welcome to Maravela

A small hotel, personally run.

Maravela is a restored 1960s townhouse on a quiet street above the bay of Lagos. With just 24 rooms, we know our guests by name — and we'll happily book your boat trip, your table or your airport transfer.

Days here are simple: breakfast on the terrace, a short walk to the beach, an afternoon by the pool and dinner as the sun goes down over the Atlantic.
