(1) Relax in a Wine Bar
Picture this: a dimly lit space, soft jazz playing in the background, a selection of the finest wines, and just the two of you, lost in conversation. There’s something deeply intimate about sharing a bottle of wine with your partner, letting time slow down as you enjoy each sip.
The best wine bars in Lagos offer a beautiful setting, good music, and an extensive wine list to match any preference. Pair your drinks with a delicious cheese board, or a rich dessert, and the night is set.

2. Make Scented Candles Together
Here, you and your partner get to play around with different essential oils, mix wax, and create your own signature scent. The process is fun and hands-on, from choosing the perfect combination of fragrances to carefully pouring the melted wax into a jar. You’ll laugh over who takes it too seriously, compare scents, and maybe even have a mini competition over who makes the best candle.
The best part? By the end of it, you’ll have a beautifully scented candle that’ll remind you of the day you spent making it together. Plus, every time you light it up at home, you’ll think back to this romantic, DIY date.

3. Watch the Sunset on a Private Boat Ride
Now, if you really want to do something extra romantic, take your partner on a sunset boat ride on Lagos Lagoon. As the sun begins to set and the sky turns into a beautiful canvas of colors, you and your boo can relax, sip some drinks, and enjoy the calm of the water. It’s peaceful, private, and one of those “I’m-so-glad-we-did-this” moments.
Some boat services even offer champagne, music, and light bites to make it even more special. Just the two of you, floating on calm waters, talking about everything and nothing at the same time—this is what perfect dates are made of.

4. Take Hand in Hand Casting
Imagine holding hands with your partner, dipping them into a cool, smooth mixture, and waiting for it to set into a perfect mold of your intertwined fingers. Hand casting is one of the most unique and sentimental things to do as a couple.
The result? A beautifully sculpted memory of your love that you can place in your home forever. The process itself is fun—you’ll giggle when the material starts to harden, and the final reveal is always a magical moment. It’s a tangible way to capture your bond, and it makes for an incredible anniversary or relationship milestone activity.

5. Enjoy a Beautiful Shortlet with your Partner
Sometimes, the best dates don’t require stepping out at all. You can just retreat to a beautifully furnished shortlet, where it’s just the two of you, away from distractions. No work calls, no traffic stress—just uninterrupted quality time.
A romantic staycation in a shortlet lets you create your own perfect atmosphere. Maybe that means cooking a meal together in a fully equipped kitchen, setting up a candlelit dinner, and enjoying your favorite wine. Or perhaps it’s curling up on a plush couch, binge-watching movies, and having deep conversations until the early hours. If you want to add a little extra romance, bring along scented candles, soft music, and a cozy blanket for a truly intimate experience.
For couples celebrating an anniversary, planning a surprise getaway, or just looking for a break from routine, a private shortlet stay is an easy yet meaningful way to reconnect.
