As the Lagos skyline lights up for Detty December—a season where parties spill onto the streets and VIP lounges buzz with influencers and A-listers—finding the ultimate haven becomes a status symbol in itself. Between late-night concerts and champagne-fueled yacht rides, discerning travelers are asking: Where can we crash in style while experiencing the soul of Lagos? Enter S.ea Experience, the boutique apartment-meets-showroom that’s fast becoming the most coveted spot for the cool, cultured, and connected.
Conceptualized by Anderson Edewor, founder of S.ea Consulting, this Lekki sanctuary is far from your average lodging. It’s where global design fluency and Nigerian heritage collide, creating a space so effortlessly chic, it’s less a hotel and more a mood. Think of it as Lagos’ answer to Maison de Vacances—if Maison de Vacances embraced afrobeats, bespoke wooden chairs, and sustainable luxury.
During Detty December, Lagos is the playground of international celebrities, African royalty, and those Insta-famous influencers whose weekend itineraries read like a VIP bucket list. S.ea Experience is where they retreat after dancing to Burna Boy under the stars or indulging in curated culinary feasts.
Why here? Because this space feels like stepping into a meticulously curated art installation. Each piece of furniture tells a story—one rooted in Nigerian craftsmanship and imbued with Anderson’s sustainability-first ethos. Guests don’t just crash on couches; they recline on handwoven chaises. They don’t merely dine; they feast on handmade ceramics, while the curated scent profiles of each room provide a sensory extension of Lagos itself—earthy, vibrant, and unapologetically luxe.
Detty December Detty December visitors often crave the flash and flair of a loud party villa or a suite with a personal Champagne butler. What makes S.ea Experience stand out is how it offers a counterbalance. Yes, it’s luxurious, but it’s also deeply personal. The balance of new, old, and contemporary gives it an authenticity Lagos often loses to “Instagrammable” trends.
And then there’s the dual purpose: S.ea is also a showroom, where art and utility converge. That stunning armchair you were vibing in after Afrochella? You can take it home (or at least DM Anderson to commission something equally spectacular).
Edewor’s understanding of Nigerian culture shines in the ways S.ea Experience lets guests recharge without breaking the spell of Detty December’s energy. For weary jet-setters, there’s the lush greenery framing the outdoor areas—a visual (and physical) detox after one too many martinis at Hard Rock Beach Club. And the rhythmic hum of Lagos, subtly seeping into the background, adds a grounding vibe to S.ea’s design philosophy.
In true Lagos fashion, this isn’t a quiet space that demands reverence; it’s an invitation to keep the party going—just at your own pace. Grab a bottle of Naija-crafted gin, slide into the chicest locally made silk pajamas, and debrief your night with friends on an upcycled wooden dining table that doubles as a conversation starter.
Even in a city as alive as Lagos, where you’re staying says a lot about who you are. S.ea Experience doesn’t shout wealth—it whispers taste. It’s the unofficial HQ of high-profile creatives, luxury aficionados, and visionaries looking to merge their Lagos love with something smarter and deeper: sustainable living, celebrated artistry, and an ode to a cultural renaissance.
“S.ea isn’t just about putting up a ‘Made in Africa’ sticker,” Edewor explains. “It’s about a lifestyle that celebrates where we’ve been and where we’re going, a way of bringing people into that journey—not as spectators, but participants.”
It’s rare to find a spot that embodies everything Detty December stands for—fun, connection, indulgence—while subverting it just enough to feel intentional. S.ea Experience is not just a room to Instagram but a gateway into something richer: Nigerian creativity, told through the textures and designs that make its culture so magnetic.
For those ready to curate their December with thoughtfulness (or maybe just those who want a story-worthy alternative to the usual Ikoyi mansions), the answer is clear: pack your wardrobe, clear your calendar, because all roads lead to S.ea Experience. Welcome home—now let’s get Detty.
