Banana Island is a private residential enclave connected to Ikoyi. It is frequently mentioned in conversations about Lagos property and luxury, but it should not be treated as a general tourist area.

What visitors should understand

Access is controlled, many destinations are private, and there are fewer public attractions than in Victoria Island, Lekki or Lagos Island. A visit usually makes sense only when you have a confirmed meeting, reservation or invitation.

For public hotels, galleries and dining nearby, use the broader Ikoyi guide and Things to Do in Ikoyi.
