Centrally located in Lagos, this handsome apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of the walled old town’s sights as well as its shimmering Atlantic beaches.

Inside, the home is cool and modern, with bright pops of blue standing out against the otherwise neutral palette. We love the sociable layout of the living area with its comfy sofas and sleek kitchen, while ample natural light floods in through the sliding glass patio doors. Open these up to step out onto a private balcony – the perfect spot to begin your mornings over a Portuguese breakfast or end a night with a celebratory barbecue.

With balcony access from both of the stylish bedrooms, you can wake up and get a hit of Lagos sunshine first thing each morning. Speaking of catching some rays, there’s no better place to do so than on the building’s communal rooftop terrace where a dazzling shared pool with views over the town’s rooftops awaits. While away long afternoons taking dips in its waters and sunbathing to your heart’s content on the many loungers provided.

When it comes to exploring nearby, make a beeline for the old town and its Igreja de Santo António or take a stroll along the nearby riverfront. You’re also 2 kilometres away from the stunning Beach Estudantes and the incredible Lagos Roman Bridge.
