Text alternative for the animation: a painted beach on Jabi Lake that moves through a whole day as you scroll. Dawn light and a kayak in the morning, a bright midday sky, a gold afternoon, a coral sunset, then stars, string lights, lanterns in the cabanas and a bonfire on the sand at night.
A beach in the middle of Abuja
Sand, palms and a lake that turns gold at six. Twenty minutes from Wuse, thirty-five from the airport.
Scroll, or drag the time slider, to spend a day here.
Mornings on the water
Guided kayaks and paddle boards leave the jetty every hour until 5pm. Yoga on the lawn at 7am, a long breakfast on the terrace after.
Afternoons by the pool
Three pools: a 25 metre lap pool, a shallow family pool and an adults-only infinity pool facing the lake. Then the spa, when the sun is at its strongest.
Sunset on the deck
The Driftwood deck faces due west. Order grilled croaker and fresh zobo at six, and watch the whole sky change colour.
Nights by the fire
Bonfire on the sand on Fridays and Saturdays, live highlife on the deck, and stars you forget you could see in the city.

We did not leave Abuja and it still felt like a holiday. The overwater villa at sunset is something else.
The day pass is the best thing we have done with the children on a Saturday. Lifeguards everywhere, food was quick.
