Work and play are close associates. As a matter of fact, when work is too serious or totally devoid of play, it leads to negative vibes!
So, at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort, care has been taken to marry these two ideals together, in a good harmony of nature.
And this special product is called, Corporate African Eco Retreat‘ (CAER) at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort.
It is a Tourism product that gives opportunity to Corporate organisations, big and small to bring their management staff, middle level management staff, and others, to a retreat, where they can freely work and play.
It could be a day retreat, a weekend retreat, a week retreat and so on.
The environment is conducive. A beach, forest and land resort located at Ibeju-lekki, Lagos, after the free trade zone where we have the new Lagos state port and Dangote refinery amongst others.
A nature lovers’ paradise. A 65 acres African themed resort with abundance flora and fauna, specifically, monkeys, squirrels, mudskippers and birds, kingfishers, Seahawks, egrets and ducks.
The resort offers, warm African hospitality, with choice of luxurious chalets, Laba, Kodi, Ilerigi, Ilerinmu, Anago, Osho, and so on with different comfortable offerings in each of them. While some are duplex over looking the ocean, and swimming pool, others are holiday homes with some having swimming pool ensuite!
Guests can have a swimming opportunity at the beach, or take a cool dip in their private indoor or outdoor swimming pool. Available are also camping options.
Your work can be done indoors, at the very well equipped modern tech conference centre known as Paribikoto, or outdoor.
For play, that is totally outdoor and this resort is popular for its outdoor range of activities. There are over 200 outdoor activities to choose from at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort.
