After opening its doors for business in December 2025, Cruxstone Development and Investment Limited, the developers of Nautica Beach Resort, have relaunched the ambitious facility as a model destination designed to attract people, capital, opportunities, and real estate investors from across the world.
The developers are, by that relaunch, charting a broader course with a bold vision to transform Lagos’ coastline into a world-class tourism, leisure, and investment hub.
Nautica is a luxury beachfront destination on the Lekki Peninsula corridor in Lagos. The relaunch is a bold and ambitious expansion blueprint that will transform the property from a standalone beach resort into one of Africa’s leading waterfront destinations.
According to the developers, the relaunch recently marked the formal unveiling of a broader ecosystem, a master-planned development integrating hospitality, marine infrastructure, tourism, entertainment, waterfront living, and destination events.
The project is designed to unlock the economic potential of Nigeria’s coastal assets, attract local and international visitors, create jobs, and position Lagos as a premier tourism and investment destination on the continent.
Its unveiling signals the beginning of a much larger vision that extends beyond hospitality into tourism, marine experiences, recreation, events, and waterfront residential development.
Adetoro Bank-Omotoye, Cruxstone’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, explained to newsmen at the relaunch that the event represented a major milestone for the project, demonstrating that the vision had moved from concept to reality.
“Today’s relaunch demonstrates that the vision is no longer conceptual. The first phase is operational. What people are seeing Today is proof of execution,” Bank-Omotoye said.
According to him, the project was conceived to leverage Nigeria’s abundant coastal resources and convert them into sustainable economic opportunities through tourism, leisure, hospitality, and real estate development.
“Nigeria has incredible natural assets, but we need more world-class destinations that convert those assets into economic value, tourism activity, jobs, and investment opportunities,” the managing director said.
He explained that, unlike many tourism developments that focus on a single attraction, Nautica has been designed as an integrated ecosystem in which hospitality, destination events, marine activities, recreation, tourism services, and real estate complement one another to generate long-term economic value.
The resort, on completion in the last quarter of this year, will offer luxury accommodation, beachfront leisure experiences, dining facilities, and recreational attractions. Future phases of the project will include expanded marine infrastructure, water-based experiences, destination events, waterfront residential offerings, an event centre, a jetty, and a private members’ club.
The CEO said security and family-friendly experiences remain central to the destination’s appeal. “We have a strong security network within the resort. It is a place for fun, leisure, families, and unforgettable experiences,” he said.
The resort project is expected to strengthen Lagos’ position as one of Africa’s emerging tourism and lifestyle capitals, and the CEO stressed that, “we are not simply building a beach resort; we are building a destination institution, one designed to attract people, capital, experiences, and opportunities from across Nigeria, Africa, and the world.”
“Our long-term vision is to build one of Africa’s leading waterfront destinations and create a model for destination development that delivers value to visitors, investors, communities, and government alike,” he added.
