Ikate.

Ikate sits along the Lekki-Epe corridor, tucked between Lekki Phase 1 and Chevron, and carries a busier, more local character than its polished neighbours. It's known for Ikate Elegushi, one of Lagos's most popular markets for fabric and everyday shopping, alongside a fast-growing mix of new estates, restaurants, and lounges that have turned it into one of the axis's most searched-for neighbourhoods in the last few years. Where Lekki Phase 1 feels curated and VI feels corporate, Ikate feels like Lagos in transition, older compound houses and market stalls sitting right alongside new developments and trendy eateries. It's a neighbourhood that draws a younger, more local crowd, people who want the energy of Lekki without the price tag, and it's become a genuine food and lifestyle destination in its own right. Sip and Paint .NG has brought our guided painting experience to Ikate through 234 Lofts, where guests can paint with an ocean view right by the water, a rare setting to slow down, catch a breeze, and create something with the Atlantic as your backdrop. It's part of our continued growth across Lagos, and we're always glad to welcome Ikate businesses interested in partnering with us.
