Luxury in Ikoyi

When discussing luxury community living in Nigeria, only a few names come to mind. One of the prominent ones is Banana Island (named for its shape), located in Ikoyi, Lagos. It is a luxurious man-made island that houses some of the country’s richest people, including celebrities and government officials.

Amenities for days

A large part of this affluent community is managed by BIPORAL – Banana Island Property Owners’ and Residents’ Association Limited and secured by BIPORAL Security Services. Divided into three main zones; residential, commercial, and mixed, the estate has strict rules and regulations for its residents and visitors.

An example is the rule that limits the height of residential houses in the estate to 3 stories. Guidelines like these are important in keeping this affluent estate ordered and running smoothly. As can be expected, the estate has several top-tier infrastructure and amenities, all of which require proper maintenance.

There is 24-hour electricity, a robust security system (only one main entrance), a well-maintained road network that connects the entire island, covered drainage systems, effective waste management, sewage, and water treatment facilities, constant water supply, luxuriously green and well-designed landscapes, and a children’s play area. A recent addition is a lawn tennis court for those who love the racket life.
