Lagos hotels with a pool and spa
In Lagos, 16 hotels on our list combine a pool with a spa or a spa pool, and the choice starts with the side of the city: Victoria Island or Ikeja near the airport. On Victoria Island, Lagos Continental Hotel on Kofo Abayomi Street puts its pool, spa, salon and gym together in a fifth-floor recreation centre, and the Radisson Blu Anchorage adds a children's pool and lagoon-view rooms. In Ikeja, Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja pairs an outdoor pool with Isade Spa and a sauna. Lagos is warm all year, with January highs around 31 °C, so the real questions are rain, dust and whether the spa has more than a massage room.
Lagos is hot and humid all year, so the season decides the weather on the pool deck rather than the water. Heavy rains run from April to July, with lighter rain in October and November, and afternoon storms can empty an outdoor pool for hours. The dry season, from mid-December to late February, brings the Harmattan, a dusty, hazy wind that can coat loungers and pool water. January averages highs around 31 °C and lows around 23 °C. Most of these hotels sit either on Victoria Island and Ikoyi or on the mainland in Ikeja, near the airport.
Where to stay
Island or mainland, pool or spa?
Lagos never gets too cold for an outdoor pool, so a spa here is about what comes after the swim: a steam room, a sauna, a hot tub or a treatment menu. The 16 hotels carry 5,809 guest reviews, with a weighted average of 8.3 out of 10. Only one, The Safron Hotel, lists an indoor pool, which matters in the heavy rains from April to July.
Lagos Continental Hotel, on Kofo Abayomi Street in Victoria Island, is the address I would choose for a pool and spa under one roof. Its recreation centre on the fifth floor houses the pool, described as an infinity pool, plus a spa, a hair salon and a fitness centre, and listings add a steam room and massage rooms. Our data shows the outdoor pool facing the sea. With 994 reviews at 8.6 out of 10, it is the most reviewed of the 16, so its score is the most solid one in this list.
The Radisson Blu Anchorage, at 1A Ozumba Mbadiwe Street on Victoria Island, is the family choice. Listings describe an outdoor pool with a pool bar and a separate children's pool, a full-service spa offering body scrubs and yoga, and rooms with a lagoon view. Our data adds mini-golf on site, which helps with children on a rainy-season afternoon. Its 8.6 out of 10 rests on 733 reviews. I would ask for a lagoon-view room: the hotel sells lagoon-view room types by name, so asking for one costs nothing and changes the stay.
For a stay near Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja has an outdoor pool with a poolside bar and sun loungers, a sauna, a fitness centre and Isade Spa, which offers massages, facials and manicures. It scores 8.3 out of 10 on 299 reviews. Nearby in Ikeja, Legend Hotel Lagos Airport, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, scores 8.7 on 236 reviews and lists a spa pool. I would choose Ikeja for an early flight or a mainland meeting, not for a stay built around the lagoon, the sea and the restaurants of the islands.
Three other names fit specific needs. The White Orchid Hotel keeps its pool area for adults only, with no children's section, and scores 8.2 out of 10 on 569 reviews: a quiet option for couples. The Safron Hotel is the only one of the 16 with an indoor pool, set apart from its sun terrace, useful when a storm closes outdoor decks. Eko Hotel Signature lists a hot tub, a wellness centre and a children's playground, though its 7.9 rests on only 74 reviews, so I would treat it as a first impression.
A traveler's takeFor a pool and spa together, I would book Lagos Continental Hotel: the fifth-floor recreation centre puts the pool, the spa and the steam room on one level, and 994 reviews back its 8.6. With children, I would choose the Radisson Blu Anchorage for its separate children's pool and lagoon-view rooms. Before an early flight, Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja and Isade Spa. For a couple who wants quiet, The White Orchid Hotel and its adults-only pool. In the April to July rains, I would look at The Safron Hotel, the only indoor pool here.

Local tips
- 1Plan your pool time for the mornings between April and July: the heavy rains of the Lagos wet season often arrive as afternoon storms that close outdoor decks for a while.
- 2From December to February, the dusty Harmattan wind can leave a film on loungers and pool water; a spa with a steam room or sauna is worth more than the deck then.
- 3With children, book the Radisson Blu Anchorage: listings describe a separate children's pool next to the outdoor pool, and our data adds mini-golf on site for rainy afternoons.
- 4For a couples' stay, The White Orchid Hotel keeps its pool area for adults only, with no children's section, which is rare among the 16 hotels on this list.
- 5At Lagos Continental Hotel, the pool, spa, salon and gym share the fifth-floor recreation centre, so you can go from a swim to a steam room without crossing the hotel.
- 6If you need a pool that works in any weather, The Safron Hotel is the only one of the 16 with an indoor pool; every other hotel here swims outdoors.
- 7Stay in Ikeja, at Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja or Legend Hotel Lagos Airport, only if your flight is early: the islands are where the lagoon, the sea and most restaurants are.
