Ikoyi.

Ikoyi sits just beside Victoria Island, but carries a different kind of prestige, older, quieter, and more residential, home to some of Lagos's most established families, embassies, and private clubs. Tree-lined streets, colonial-era architecture sitting alongside newer mansions, and a slower pace set it apart from VI's corporate hum and Lekki's newer energy. It's the neighbourhood Lagosians point to when they talk about old money and understated wealth. That quieter character doesn't mean quiet living. Ikoyi has its own dining and garden-party culture, private compounds with lush greenery, riverside views, and a social calendar built around intimate gatherings rather than big nightlife. It's a favourite for guests who want a relaxed, upscale setting without the noise of VI or Lekki. Sip and Paint .NG is proud to call Ikoyi home through two beautiful locations, Oh La La and The Garden Ikoyi, both set within the neighbourhood's signature green, garden-style spaces. We're always open to new partnerships with Ikoyi businesses who share our love for bringing people together through creativity, and love growing our presence in neighbourhoods that welcome us the way Ikoyi has. From birthdays in the garden to a quiet afternoon of painting with friends, Ikoyi offers a setting that matches the city's calmer, more residential side.
