Proxima Centauri Hotel
An indoor pool paired with yoga and a view-facing terrace pool
About this hotel
Mornings here often start with a yoga class before the day gets going, and the choice between the indoor pool and the separate view-facing pool means the weather never dictates the plan. Family rooms come with a work desk and refrigerator, useful for a longer business stay, and the child-friendly buffet in the restaurant covers African, Italian, seafood and international menus without extra fuss. Breakfast adds continental, American, full English and vegetarian options for guests who prefer a simpler start. The fitness room stays open alongside the pools, rounding out a property built around routine as much as relaxation. At roughly 31 kilometres from Port Harcourt International Airport, it sits further out than some central options, a trade-off worth weighing against its fuller wellness offering and free on-site parking.

Our take
Travellers staying here will find one of the few Port Harcourt hotels combining an indoor pool with scheduled yoga classes, making it a strong pick for guests who want a routine alongside the pool rather than just a place to swim. Families get a real bonus from the child-friendly buffet and family rooms, though the 31-kilometre airport distance means it suits a longer stay better than a quick overnight.
- ✓Check the yoga class schedule on arrival, since sessions run at set times rather than on demand.
- ✓Use the indoor pool during the rainy season and save the view-facing outdoor pool for drier days.
- ✓Request a city-view room with the refrigerator if planning a longer stay, useful for keeping drinks and snacks on hand.
Why we love it
- Both an indoor pool and a view-facing outdoor pool

Why guests love itWe split our stay between the indoor pool on a rainy afternoon and the view-facing pool once the sun came back, and having both meant the weather never really disrupted the trip. The yoga classes were an unexpected highlight for me personally, a proper reason to get up before breakfast rather than an afterthought gym. The 31-kilometre drive from the airport felt long on arrival, but once settled in, the hotel gave us enough to do that we didn't mind staying put most days.
