… La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort
We understand from the Christian holy book, that Eden was breathtaking. The beauty enthralled Adam and Eve and the sight was pleasing to God.
Bodies of water ran from one side of Eden to another and the environment was filled with lush greenery which soothes the animals and the land yielded fruits that provided food, and the plants, trees, provided shelter and landing airports for the birds and winged insects.
And so Eden was nature’s Paradise!
A Paradise that is well replicated in Africa, at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort, located at Ibeju-lekki, Lagos, Nigeria.
An African themed resort where cosmopolitan city folks come to find refreshing Eden, zero fumes, zero noise pollution, nature walk, health spa, huge bodies of water, the Atlantic ocean, the Lagoon, both peacefully flowing on their earmarked spaces, throwing up mild wind every now and then to caress and sooth the body.
Here at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort the friendly ecosystem is alluring, birds wake you up between 5 and 6am chirping and singing choruses in sonorous voices that forces you to look forward to early mornings. The birds are the resort’s alarm clock. They remind you that breakfast will be served at 7am in any of the several outdoor eating points around the vast resort’s grounds.
Eden is here because you will find a collection of fine breed of horses, ready for joyful ride in the beautiful marriage of man and nature, the monkeys, colourful, distinguished species, teasing you into play, domesticated animals, goats, rams, turkey, ducks and more, all having their spaces.
You get an opportunity to see local fishermen off into the ocean in their speed boats in search of fishes, and you can also see them on return, with their haul of fishes. Nature is 100% here.
The dances, the drums, the songs are all African. The staff here enjoy seeing you totally return to your roots, drink fresh palm wine before or after a swim in the longest swimming pool in the world, with a palmwine bar, found only here at La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort.
Yes, the staff at the resort remembers that you are from the city, and probably have travelled around Europe or American cities, so you are offered and served African delicacies, sumptuous meals that you have missed over time, to remind you of home and welcome you back to Africa once again! Africa, Home Sweet Home. But also, not to let you totally forget where you are coming from, the resort also offers you continental foods on the side, Chinese, Thai, Indian cuisines, and allow you cocktails from the swimming pool bar and a gym to knock it off, because most guests after being pampered for a day or two, increase weight rapidly.
Laughter is easy to find here. Love birds sit out at the beach front enjoying the sight of swaying coconut tree branches, romantically teasing the mild wind.
Each day witnesses couples’ engagenent proposals, wedding anniversary celebrations, birthday parties with traditional flavours and mild music. No stereotype events, you are allowed to create your own event, your own ambience, indoor and outdoor. You can use any space, any view you desire, forest view, ocean view, lagoon view or just have a simple pool side party! The options are on you and very wide!
It’s Nature’s Paradise; it’s Eden; It’s La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort, a true marriage of man and nature.
