Weekend getaway destinations

We recently provided you with four clues and asked if you knew which wonderful weekend getaway destinations we had our eye on as part of our ‘weekend give-away campaign’.  These destinations, in no specific order, caught our eye as being definite away from home ‘weekend soul food’ in Nigeria.

Family weekend

In Lagos, we selected Inagbe Grand Resort and Clear Essence California Spa and Wellness Resort.

Inagbe Grand Resort is full of surprises, fun activities and lively entertainment.  The smiling faces, sun, sand and sea are sure to make your weekend splendid.  Inagbe Grand Resort is an excellent choice for rest and rejuvenation.  The rooms include a refrigerator, air conditioning, and a desk for comfort and convenience.  Room service is one of the conveniences offered at the small resort and there is a pool and a lounge that helps to make your stay even more special. The family style accommodation has all the amenities needed to make your visit one worth remembering.  These include Wi-Fi, a gym, the beach, bicycle rental, babysitting, air conditioning, fireplace, flat screen TV, bath, shower ad complimentary toiletries.

Clear Essence California Spa and Wellness Resort provides a welcoming ambience to refresh, renew, and restore oneself. The cosmetics brand Clear Essence has expanded their horizons into the hospitality industry providing the African community with an exclusive five star experience. Their philosophy is to be more than a spa or resort and to focus on exclusivity, care, pampering and outstanding service. Upon entering the property, guests are enveloped into a stylish, chic atmosphere, embellished by highly trained and specialized staff. The resort transports guests into a place far away from stresses of busy Lagos life.

Abuja

The Dome is our choice for the Abuja region. Everyone seems to fall in love with The Dome, it’s Nigeria’s iconic prime entertainment and hospitality centre.  It is a Proudly Nigerian private initiative created as an indigenous brand to offer you options for dining, relaxation, fitness, business meetings and entertainment. The Dome, which first began operations in 2005 has been reloaded and repackaged to be a world class luxury destination for recreation, leisure and conferencing.

Port Harcourt

In Port Harcourt we chose Obudu Cattle Ranch, one of Africa’s finest and most interesting and spectacular tourist destinations. Obudu Cattle Ranch is a mixture of adventure and idyllic tranquillity.  The ranch offers rich natural vegetation and a picturesque views and has numerous pleasant, beautiful mountain-areas and country-side views.  All this is in a well preserved calm and serene environment.

Savour the moments

Hey presto it’s valuable holiday time!

Every holiday is a once in a lifetime experience.  We can’t express the importance of valuing your vacation; this is your time to make lots of wonderful memories.  Your holiday is a time for extra sharing, showing love and appreciation for those around you, especially your family.

Relaxation time

Time goes by quickly, don’t count the days; rather count the moments and make every moment count.  Take time out to relax, yes relaxation is also making moments that count.  You can swim in beautiful oceans and pools, then relax on beautiful beaches as you enjoy the sunshine.  You can try the interesting cuisine on your trip and a relaxing boat ride or two for the entire family.  Most popular holiday destinations have glamorous spas where you are treated like royalty.  The experienced staff know exactly how to massage, wash away dirt, impurities, and dead skin cells with special treatments that leave you feeling satisfied and nourished.

Theme Parks and Shopping time

Theme Parks are undoubtedly popular attractions with ample entertainment especially for the brave at heart who enjoy thrilling rides.  If the rides are too much for you, you can take the opportunity to purchase gifts for loved ones at home, this is a pleasant idea because buying a gift for someone while you are on vacation tells them you thought about them while you were away and took time out to buy them a gift.  We all love receiving little gifts, they are an acknowledgement of care and love.

Dirty children and laughter time

Let your children get dirty and go wild every now and then.  Climb a mountain, go on safaris, river rafting and swing down mud slides, visit a farm and play with the animals.  Exposure to dirt is good for you and your children, animals and everyday dirt is good for the body and soul; this natural type of dirt helps strengthen the immune system, chases away allergies, improves digestion and manages stress.  Getting dirty is like a medicine specifically made to make you laugh!

Spoiling time

Remember to do those little extras to spoil those around you; even mushy parents can make special memories.  Treat your children; they always remember special times spent with you especially when they travel. Holidays spent together are likely to be remembered with special appreciation later down the road of life.  Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.

Dare devils time

Try something new, together as a family; the dare devils may want to try bungee jumping, an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord.  A little less daring is to ski down the slopes of magnificent white snow-covered mountains.  For the timid, canopy tours, hot air balloons, and aerial cable ways are available at most destinations.

Photos and more photos all the time

Finally, whatever you do, take lots of photos to save, share and reminisce about later in life.  Capture the tiniest details; your memorable photos will make your holiday seem even more magical when you’re showing them to your friends and family. Remember to take photos of the mountains, the flowers, the trees, the animals, the places where you lived and even the tiniest bubbles in the water when the tide comes in.  Every photo will represent your vacation and the memories that you touched and experienced at the time.
